Our legal team works to assess the details of each case, identify key issues, and develop a tailored approach that seeks to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, or, when necessary, litigation in court. We aim to achieve results that align with your business goals while mitigating potential liabilities.
At its core, business litigation involves the legal process of resolving disputes related to business activities. This can include disagreements over contracts, intellectual property, employment matters, and more. Litigation is the formal mechanism by which these disputes are adjudicated, often involving filing lawsuits, conducting discovery, and appearing in court.
The litigation process typically begins with an initial assessment and filing of a complaint or response. Discovery follows, where parties exchange relevant information. Negotiations or alternative dispute resolution may occur before trial. If unresolved, the case proceeds to trial, culminating in a judgment or settlement agreement.
Understanding the terminology used in business litigation helps clients stay informed and engaged. Below are some common terms you may encounter during the course of your case.
A formal legal document filed by the plaintiff that outlines the claims against the defendant and initiates the lawsuit.
The pre-trial phase where both parties gather and exchange information and evidence relevant to the case.
An agreement reached between disputing parties to resolve the case without proceeding to trial.
A formal court proceeding where evidence is presented, and a judge or jury makes a decision regarding the dispute.
When faced with a business dispute, there are various paths to resolution, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Each option carries distinct advantages and considerations based on the nature of the conflict and the desired outcome.
Certain disputes, such as small contract disagreements or payment issues, may be resolved efficiently through direct communication or mediation without the need for full litigation, saving time and resources.
If the facts strongly support your position and both parties are open to negotiation, pursuing a limited approach focused on settlement discussions may achieve a satisfactory resolution.

Certain disputes depend on nuanced legal interpretations or involve precedent-setting issues, necessitating a comprehensive review and aggressive representation throughout the litigation process.
