Business litigation refers to the legal process of resolving disputes related to business activities. This can involve areas such as contract breaches, disputes between business partners, employment issues, or claims of unfair competition. Litigation may result in settlement agreements or court judgments depending on the circumstances.

Understanding essential legal terms can help clients better navigate the litigation process. Below are definitions of common terms encountered in business litigation matters.
The plaintiff is the party who initiates a lawsuit by filing a complaint against another party, claiming to have been harmed by their actions or negligence. In business litigation, this could be a company seeking remedy for contract breaches or damages.
