The best way to explain the type of work I do is to visit my blog, called Delaware Corporate and Commercial Litigation Blog, at www.delawarelitigation.com on which I summarize the key business law decisions from Delaware's Chancery Court and Supreme Court, and related litigation matters.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Francis is a prominent business litigation lawyer in Delaware. He is the author of one of the leading business litigation blogs, and is nationally recognized as a leader in his practice. On a personal note, he is highly trustworthy and unqualifiedly respected by counsel and the courts.
