I love a complex case.
Let’s talk.

I am a litigator – which means that I am a trial lawyer, negotiator and problem solver. I have played the peacemaker. I have been David battling Goliath. And, I have been the janitor cleaning up a miserable legal mess.

A Minnesota Litigation Firm With A Nationwide Reach

I am D. Clay Taylor. My litigation practice ranges from managing high-stakes business disputes to fights over inheritances and sales commissions. The common thread is my knack for simplifying complex issues and zeroing in on sensible resolutions.

When Inheritance
Leads To Conflict

Estate-related disputes can be legally tangled and highly emotional, pitting family members against one another. At The Law Office of D. Clay Taylor, I have represented heirs, executors and trustees in probate and trust litigation involving areas from contested wills to breaches of fiduciary duty. I know how to peel back the layers to get to the core conflict and craft a plan of action.

I served as the personal representative when members of my own family passed. I can sympathize with clients who are saddled with this heavy responsibility. It’s an overwhelming and thankless job, especially when they are accused of impropriety.

Sales Reps And Franchisees

I built my legal reputation as “The Rep Lawyer” by fighting for independent sales representatives in payment disputes. I still serve as counsel to national and regional sales rep groups, holding corporations accountable for withholding commissions or terminating sales agreements.

Commissioned sales representatives are routinely used and abused by manufacturers, but, through hard-nosed litigation, I have leveled the playing field and secured civil justice in cases across the country. I also represent franchise owners and distributors nationwide in legal disputes.

Taking Care Of Business

Business disputes are inevitable. The key is how you respond to them. Can you put out the fire? Should you cut your losses or take your chances in court? At The Law Office of D. Clay Taylor, I have litigated everything from breaches of contract to partnership disputes to theft of trade secrets. I tailor my approach to each client’s unique circumstances and goals.

At The Law Office of D. Clay Taylor, I have had my share of victories at trial, including notable verdicts in high-profile cases. Some of my best work also occurs outside the courtroom, convincing the other side (or my own client) to sit down and settle things reasonably.
