Emerson Valcourt
Partner · Business disputes
Emerson reads contracts the way the people who signed them remembered them, and then the way a judge will.
He handles the firm's contract and commercial matters for owners on both sides: the supplier who was not paid and the company accused of not paying. He spends the first weeks of a case on the documents and the numbers, and he writes plain demand letters.
He also advises owners before a dispute starts, on what to put in writing.
Works on
- Contract and supply disputes
- Owner and partner disagreements
- Claims against former staff
- Defending companies that were sued

Away from the docket
Emerson cooks for large groups of people who did not ask him to, and keeps a spreadsheet of what worked.
Most Saturdays he is on a bicycle somewhere along the Connecticut shoreline.
