About the Firm
Ann DeLaney and Kathleen DeLaney began their litigation practice in Indianapolis in January of 2002, forming DeLaney & DeLaney LLC. It is one of the first mother-daughter law firms in the city. Since the firm opened in January 2002, DeLaney & DeLaney LLC has been certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the City of Indianapolis and the State of Indiana as a Women Business Enterprise, growing to a group of six attorneys.
DeLaney & DeLaney provides services to a wide variety of clients in nearly all types of civil litigation. Together the firm’s lawyers have more than 60 years of trial experience. This includes nearly two years of actual time in front of juries.
The attorneys of DeLaney & DeLaney believe that the best way to protect client interests is to be prepared to take opponents to court, when necessary. We value the jury system both as a dispute resolution tool and as a valuation tool in settlement negotiations. DeLaney & DeLaney attorneys have trial experience in contract disputes, employment cases, class actions, civil rights cases, securities cases, disciplinary and malpractice matters, libel, and even murder cases. As Ann DeLaney has said, “If they won’t come to their senses, we’ll be glad to put them to their proof.” DeLaney & DeLaney is not a firm that favors expensive and time-consuming discovery over trial. Its lawyers believe that only if you are prepared to try a case, can you negotiate a favorable settlement.
The firm handles all types of litigation matters, including securities litigation, medical negligence litigation, product liability litigation, contract disputes, commercial disputes, estate-related controversies, and civil rights matters. The firm also handles contract negotiations on behalf of businesses and individuals. The firm handles all types of employment matters, including counseling and training, severance negotiations, covenants not to compete, wage and hour issues, and employment discrimination of all types, on behalf of businesses and individuals. The firm’s current employment law docket includes gender discrimination, sexual harassment, disability discrimination, race discrimination, age discrimination, and employee benefits disputes.
The firm is honored to have been certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) since April of 2005. This Council is the nation’s leading source of information on trends in supplier diversity programs for Women Business Enterprises at U.S. companies and government agencies.
