Corrinne Rebecca Viola

Corrinne (“Cori”) Viola’s practice sits at the intersection of employment law and commercial creditor’s rights. While these areas are often treated as distinct, they frequently overlap in disputes involving compensation structures, contractual payment obligations, ownership interests, and enforcement of judgments. Cori represents businesses, creditors, and professionals navigating conflicts where the central question is simple but high-stakes: who is entitled to be paid—and how that right is enforced.

Cori’s creditor’s rights practice focuses primarily on commercial recovery and post-judgment enforcement. She regularly assists clients in pursuing complex collection strategies involving real property interests, fraudulent transfers, garnishments, and business-asset recovery. Her experience includes navigating title complications and multi-party disputes to position creditors to obtain meaningful recovery rather than paper judgments.

Her employment practice complements this work. Cori represents executives, professionals, and companies in disputes involving compensation plans, commission structures, severance agreements, restrictive covenants, and wrongful termination claims. This dual perspective allows her to identify leverage early and frame cases around enforceable payment rights rather than abstract workplace disagreements.

Cori regularly appears before the Arizona Superior Court and the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, as well as state and federal appellate courts. She also represents employees in administrative proceedings and before regulatory bodies across a range of contested matters. As a litigator, Cori handles matters from pre-suit strategy through trial and enforcement. She has first- and second-chaired bench trials and routinely prepares substantive briefing in complex commercial and employment disputes. But her experience as a litigator also means Cori appreciates the time, expense, and disruption litigation can require. With that understanding, she works closely with clients to evaluate risk early, identify leverage, and pursue strategies that advance practical business objectives rather than litigation for its own sake. Clients rely on her not only to litigate cases, but to design recovery strategies that align legal outcomes with business realities.
