The better you know the community, the more you can help your client. Says Louise Ing, "We learn our clients' business then go out and build relationships and networks that are relevant to them." Ing's practice focuses on helping businesses, nonprofits and individuals resolve their disputes, prevent future ones and get back to business. Her litigation and dispute resolution practice covers areas of law that impact businesses and businesspeople on a daily basis including contracts, commercial transactions, leases, employment, real estate, creditor's rights and bankruptcy law. She has also devoted her energies to helping strengthen Hawai`i's communities as a board member of non-profits (University of Hawaii Foundation, among others) and Hawai`i-based companies such as Island Holdings. She is the current President of the Hawai`i State Bar Association and has been recognized in Best Lawyers™, Chambers USA and Benchmark Litigation.
