Civil litigation driven by strategic thinking and confident execution, forged in the toughest situations — courtrooms, boardrooms, and negotiations where the outcome is critical. We represent businesses, families, and individuals in complex disputes in Utah state and federal courts.
Relentless. Trial-ready. Built different. We mean business.
When a counterparty walks away from a deal, stops performing, or rewrites the terms after signing. Breach of contract, failed acquisitions, earnout disputes, and purchase agreement litigation.
When the people who built the business together can no longer run it together. Partnership breakups, shareholder disputes, fiduciary duty claims, and business divorce.
When someone lied to get the deal done or acted to destroy what you built. Fraudulent inducement, misrepresentation, tortious interference, and conversion.
When waiting for a trial date means the damage is already done. TROs, preliminary injunctions, and expedited proceedings for situations where timing is the entire case.
When a departing employee or competitor takes what isn't theirs. Non-compete enforcement and defense, non-solicitation disputes, and trade secret misappropriation under state and federal law.
When the trial court got it wrong and the stakes justify a second look. Appellate briefing and oral argument in state and federal courts, including interlocutory and post-trial appeals.
Litigation is more effective when your counsel understands the commercial reality that produced the dispute. These are the sectors where we bring firsthand operational and transactional experience to the representation.
Offtake agreements, JV governance, EPC contracts, royalty disputes, and operator/non-operator conflicts. Built on over fifteen years of experience at Aramco, Shell, and Wood Mackenzie spanning capital projects, strategy, and commercial operations.
Governing law disputes, international arbitration, enforcement of foreign judgments, and the commercial behavior of international counterparties. Fluency in the business dynamics of the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas.
SaaS disputes, licensing and IP conflicts, vendor contract failures, and partnership disputes in the tech ecosystem. Prior career includes corporate development and strategic planning roles at enterprise software companies.
Delay claims, change order disputes, lien enforcement, and EPC/design-build litigation. Practical understanding of project economics and milestone-driven performance structures.
Your case is handled by the attorney you hired, not delegated down a chain. You get direct access to the person making the strategic decisions and the one who will stand up in court.
Before spending a dollar on discovery, we build a complete picture of the dispute — the stakes, the dynamics, the realistic paths to resolution, and what it will take to get there. You get a written assessment before the meter starts running.
An MBA and over two decades in industry means we approach damages, settlement math, and risk quantification the way your CFO would. We model exposure, not just argue it. That changes how the other side evaluates the case.
We scope work in phases with defined budgets. No runaway discovery. No motion practice for its own sake. Every dollar spent should move the case toward resolution, and you should be able to see that in the bill.
We prepare every case as if it's going to trial, because the other side can tell when you don't. That preparation creates real settlement leverage and keeps the timeline honest.
Adama Law was founded on a specific premise: understanding a problem from every angle — financial, operational, reputational, human — produces stronger litigation. Counsel who can read a balance sheet, model damages from first principles, assess contract economics, and think about resolution the way a decision-maker thinks about risk.
Erich Linder brings over twenty-five years of professional experience to the practice, including fifteen years in the international energy industry at Saudi Aramco, Shell, and Wood Mackenzie, spanning capital projects strategy, commercial negotiations, and operations across the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Earlier career roles in enterprise software, corporate development, and management consulting add depth in technology, valuation, and organizational dynamics — the operational and contractual realities that drive disputes before they become lawsuits.
If that sounds like the kind of counsel you need, let's talk.
