Business litigation is the legal process of handling disputes between businesses or between a business and other parties. It encompasses a broad range of issues such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, and claims of unfair competition. The litigation process typically involves filing suits, discovery, motions, settlement discussions, and possibly trial proceedings to resolve the matter.
Business litigation follows a structured process starting with case intake and investigation, followed by pleadings, discovery exchanges, and pre-trial motions. Settlement negotiations may occur at various stages. If a resolution is not reached, the matter proceeds to trial where evidence is presented and a judgment is rendered. Post-trial motions and appeals may also be part of the process, depending on the case outcome.
Understanding common legal terms used in business litigation can help clients better grasp their cases. Below are definitions of key terms frequently encountered during business disputes.
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as specified in a legally binding agreement, resulting in potential damages to the other party.
Discovery is the pre-trial phase in litigation where parties exchange information, documents, and evidence relevant to the dispute to prepare for trial or settlement.
A settlement is an agreement reached between disputing parties to resolve the matter without proceeding to trial, often involving compromises on both sides.
A motion is a formal request made to the court asking for a specific ruling or order during the litigation process.
When facing business litigation, clients may consider different levels of legal involvement. Limited approaches focus on specific aspects of the case, while comprehensive services cover all stages from initial filing through post-trial matters.
