Ice Miller partner Drew Miroff was quoted in The Indiana Lawyer article, "Attorneys say commercial courts offer predictability."

The article included:

“This is designed to be more of the kind of fast lane,” said Drew Miroff, a partner at Ice Miller who has handled litigation cases for Allison. “The [commercial courts] judges get involved very early, and they force the people to kind of say, ‘OK, what do you think you need? How do you need it?’ And then from there kind of guide you through that process.”

According to 2022 Indiana Supreme Court data, the average time for an order on summary judgment in a commercial courts case was 29 days; for a motion to dismiss, 24 days; and for an order on a motion for preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order, 13 days.

Miroff said that he believes the commercial courts program has become what the judiciary hoped: a trusted place for resolving business disputes in Indiana.

“When I talk to my clients, I say, ‘I can’t guarantee you a result. What I can guarantee you is there will be a fair process and a judge with experience with these type of cases and these type of issues, guiding our case, making decisions,’” Miroff said. “It’s not that you can’t get that or you won’t get that in other civil courts, but … you have confidence because of how these are designed, you’re definitely going to get that [in the commercial court].”
