Business litigation refers to the legal processes involved in resolving disputes between businesses or between businesses and individuals. These disputes may concern contract breaches, partnership disagreements, employment issues, or other conflicts related to business operations. Litigation can involve negotiations, mediation, arbitration, or court trials, depending on the nature and complexity of the case.
The business litigation process typically begins with the filing of a complaint, followed by discovery where evidence is exchanged. Parties may engage in settlement discussions before proceeding to trial. Each step requires careful legal preparation and strategic decision-making to protect client interests. Effective litigation also involves understanding relevant statutes, case law, and procedural rules that apply in New York.
Familiarity with common legal terms aids clients in comprehending the litigation process. Below are definitions of key concepts frequently encountered in business disputes.
A complaint is the formal legal document that initiates a lawsuit, outlining the plaintiff’s claims against the defendant and the basis for the court’s jurisdiction.
Discovery is the pre-trial phase where parties exchange information, documents, and evidence relevant to the case to prepare for trial or settlement.
A settlement is an agreement reached between disputing parties to resolve the case without proceeding to trial, often involving compromises on both sides.
A motion is a formal request submitted to the court asking for a specific ruling or order during the litigation process.
Businesses facing disputes may choose from several legal approaches, including informal negotiations, mediation, arbitration, or full litigation. Each option has distinct advantages and considerations related to cost, time, confidentiality, and potential outcomes. Understanding these differences helps clients select the strategy best suited to their circumstances.
In cases where disputes involve small contract issues or misunderstandings, limited legal intervention such as negotiation or mediation can often resolve matters efficiently without the need for prolonged litigation.
When preserving ongoing business partnerships is important, parties may prefer collaborative dispute resolution methods that avoid adversarial court proceedings.
