Jim McConkey's practice focuses on complex commercial litigation disputes, with an emphasis on business, class action, consumer financial services, construction, insurance and environmental litigation matters. He has represented business entities of all types, both public and private, corporate officers and directors, financial services entities, and insurance companies.

He has undertaken a wide range of litigation matters and has been involved in virtually all aspects of case management from initial investigation through trial, as well as appellate work.

"I believe the only effective way to represent clients is to understand their business and their business needs.  For some clients, I advise taking a case to trial (to avoid copy-cat lawsuits for example). For others, resolving a matter inexpensively at the outset is a better business choice.  Effective counseling can only be accomplished with a full understanding of a client’s needs."
James W. McConkey
