Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
The law firm of Schneider & Schneider provides advice and legal representation in a number of areas, including federal employment law, federal administrative law, and litigation involving contract disputes, defective consumer products, construction defects, environmental damage and antitrust claims.
Antitrust
In 1977-1978, Mr. Schneider was the Assistant General Counsel of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, Washington, D.C., where he represented state regulatory agencies in federal district and appellate courts and before Congress in matters involving domestic transportation, gas and electricity, and communications and antitrust law. He began his legal career in 1974 with the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington, D.C., where he worked on matters relating to trucking mergers, approval of financing arrangements, railroad abandonment applications, acquisition of railroad branch lines by short line operators, and adequacy of intercity rail passenger service.

Construction Litigation
Between 1987 and 1994, Mr. Schneider practiced with a small general practice firm where he concentrated on civil litigation in D.C. Superior Court. Matters included representation of the plaintiff in a multi-million dollar construction defects suit, defense of a $500,000 malpractice claim against a civil engineer, defense of a major corporation in a class-action suit over the sale of life insurance from its small loan offices (North Carolina and New Mexico), defense of a tenant in an infliction of mental distress suit by his landlord, defense of a major corporation in a contract dispute over the purchase of a subsidiary by the plaintiff, and other cases involving general commercial law.
Property Damage
The firm provides representation to individuals and businesses involved in disputes on a wide variety of issues that may require resolution in federal or local courts. Examples include the following: disputes between persons or business enterprises over money owed, claims that consumer products have defects or that the manufacturer made false representations about the product, disputes over building construction defects or property damage from petroleum or chemical spills, and claims of economic harm as a result of antitrust violations such as price-fixing among competing companies. We are experienced in class actions as well as individual claims.
