Business litigation refers to the legal processes involved when two or more parties disagree over business-related issues. This can include disputes over contracts, partnerships, employment matters, and other commercial activities. Litigation may result in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, or court trials to resolve these conflicts.
The business litigation process typically begins with investigation and case evaluation, followed by pleadings, discovery, and pre-trial motions. Depending on the case, parties may engage in settlement discussions or alternative dispute resolution before proceeding to trial. Each stage requires careful preparation and strategy to protect the client’s position.
Understanding the terminology used in business litigation can help clients navigate the legal process more confidently. Below are key terms commonly encountered in such matters.
Formal documents filed with the court that state the parties’ claims and defenses, including complaints and answers.
The pre-trial phase where parties exchange information, documents, and evidence relevant to the dispute.
An agreement reached between parties to resolve the dispute without continuing to trial.
The formal court process where both sides present evidence and arguments for a judge or jury to decide the outcome.

Choosing the right approach depends on the specific circumstances, potential risks, and desired outcomes. We help clients evaluate these options thoroughly to determine the most appropriate path.
In cases involving minor disagreements or breaches that can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, limited legal involvement may be sufficient to achieve a resolution without extensive litigation.
