How Our Business Contract and Dispute Lawyers Help You and Your Business Thrive

One of the biggest benefits of choosing our law firm is that we will work to resolve your business matters fast and efficiently. In fact, as business owners ourselves, we know how some disputes can be lengthy and cost much time and money to resolve. Therefore, instead of worrying about any legal issues and handling them on your own, you can let our business dispute attorneys and business contract attorneys take the reins, and you concentrate on managing your business, taking care of your employees, and more.

What Is a Business Dispute?

A business dispute is a disagreement between two businesses over the terms of an agreement signed by both parties. These disputes are inevitable for companies, and some do not always require legal representation, but it’s always wise to seek counsel from a business dispute attorney when a conflict arises.

Our business dispute attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in a variety of business disputes. Some of the common disputes we’ve handled include:

  • Breach of contract: Breaches of contract can occur in a few different ways. Often, one party fails to honor their side of the agreement. Other times, issues arise because the contract is ambiguous or incomplete. Either way, our business dispute attorneys will fight for your rights.
  • Partnership disagreements: Disputes between partners of a business are common. They may disagree on such things as how the company should be run and who should take leadership positions. These legal disputes can also arise when a partner skirts their fiduciary responsibilities.
  • Business-to-business disputes: When one business perceives another business’s actions to be unfair or deceptive, they may file a lawsuit against them. In these instances, a litigation attorney should be consulted to build a case against the defendant.
  • Non-compete agreement issues: Often, businesses will have their employees sign a non-compete agreement. When an employee does not follow this agreement, the company may have grounds to sue. On the other hand, the terms in the agreement may have been too broad, in which case, the employee may have a case against the business. Our team of litigation attorneys is adept at handling non-compete disputes and can protect your business from damages.

How Does Civil Litigation Work?

A civil lawsuit involves non-criminal claims and is pursued by one party (the plaintiff) against another person or company (the defendant). The complaint by the plaintiff is often based on breaches of contract or accidents. Typically, the plaintiff would like to either receive compensation for any losses or to stop specific actions.

Every civil law case is different, and that’s why it’s important to work with an experienced civil litigation attorney. Your lawyer will determine if you have a solid case and then begin building upon that case for you.

While each case is different, all civil lawsuits follow the same process. Your civil litigation attorney can help you understand each step in detail, but here is a general overview to give you an idea of what to expect:

  1. Investigate. Your litigation lawyer, potentially with the help of a private investigator, will begin to comb through the details of the case to find the evidence needed to support your claim.
  2. File a complaint. Now, your civil litigation attorney will aid you in filing a complaint with the court against the defendant. This complaint will describe the damages or injuries you or your business sustained and how the defendant caused the harm. The defendant can then file an answer.
  3. Discovery. This is the longest part of the civil litigation lawsuit. During this time, both parties gather information to strengthen their cases.
  4. Trial. During the trial, the civil litigation attorney will present your case to either a jury or judge. Then, throughout the trial, each litigation attorney will present their evidence and call witnesses to the stand.
  5. Verdict. After the jury or judge deliberates the case, they will announce their verdict. Both parties have the option to challenge the verdict and request a new trial. Your litigation attorney can help you determine if you have a solid enough case to motion for a new trial.

Why Do You Need a Business Contract Attorney?

Business contracts are legally binding agreements that you have with one or more people or businesses. Because these agreements are so critical, it’s advisable to have a business contract attorney draft and revise the legal documents. They will ensure the contracts you enter into will be executed properly and that your interests will be protected.

Drafting lawfully binding contracts is a complex process. If the wording isn’t precise and the information isn’t complete, the contract may not be admissible in court. Even if you decide to draft the contract yourself, it would be in your best interest to have a business contract attorney look over the document. They will ensure the document is legal and free of any loopholes.

A business contract attorney can also provide guidance when you believe a contract has been broken or when you wish to get out of a contract. If you need assistance with any business contracts, you can rely on our business contract and litigation attorneys to fight for your rights.
