Most people don’t go looking for a Reno litigator until they have to. By the time you’re reading this page, something has probably already gone wrong — a contract has been breached, a partner has walked, NDOT has noticed your property for taking, a competitor is using your trade secrets, or a court order needs to land before next week. The next move matters.
Dane W. Anderson’s commercial litigation practice is structured around the disputes Nevada businesses actually face. Each practice area below covers a cluster of related claims and defenses, with the same underlying approach: full preparation, candid case assessment, and the willingness to try the case if the other side won’t deal.
If you’re not sure which category your matter falls into, that’s normal. Call 775-823-0049 and we’ll figure it out together.
Contract Disputes
When the agreement is the problem — or the agreement is being ignored. Six-year statute of limitations under NRS 11.190 for written contracts.
Business Disputes
Disputes between owners, businesses, and bad actors. NRS 86 (LLCs), NRS 87 (partnerships), NRS 598 (deceptive trade practices).
Real Estate & Property
Property disputes are unforgiving — the asset doesn’t move and the deadlines are statutory. NRS 40 (real-property actions), NRS 116 (CIC).
Eminent Domain
Specialty practice. Most lawyers handle a Nevada condemnation case once or twice in a career. Dane handles them as a focus area under NRS Chapter 37.
Employment & Restrictive Covenants
Non-compete agreements (NRS 613.195) and trade-secret litigation (NRS 600A / DTSA) — defending and enforcing them.
Injunctive Relief & Collections
Emergency court orders under NRCP 65 and judgment-collection work. When the harm is happening now and you need an order this week.
