Business litigation prosecution refers to the process of legally pursuing claims to enforce contracts or seek remedies for business-related grievances. Defense involves responding to allegations and protecting your interests against lawsuits. Both aspects require careful analysis of facts, legal arguments, and applicable laws to achieve the desired outcome.

Throughout each phase, strategic planning and negotiation play vital roles in protecting your business and advancing your case.
Understanding common legal terms helps demystify the litigation process and empowers clients to engage confidently. Below are key definitions related to business litigation to assist you in grasping essential concepts.
