Types of Business Disputes Leading to Litigation
There are many disputes that lead to litigation. A few examples of the types of disputes that arise include, but are not limited to:
-
Breach of contract. Businesses function on contracts. Contracts between business partners, with vendors who supply the business with goods and services, between other businesses with which a business does business, and so forth. When one party allegedly breaches a contract, litigation is often required.
-
Breach of fiduciary duty. This generally involves disputes between partners, or shareholders and partners.
-
Business bankruptcy. We help determine which type of bankruptcy is in the best interest of your business. We work to restructure the business and keep it running if that is the outcome you are seeking.
-
Business torts. Just a few examples of business torts include fraud, negligent misrepresentation, interference with a business transaction, and civil theft .
-
Insurance disputes involving coverage. We work to prove coverage in those cases where you submitted a claim only to be informed by your insurer that you have no coverage.
-
Intellectual property and trade secret violations. These can be complicated and require several steps in proving or defending an alleged violation.
-
Partnership conflicts. These range from simple disputes that are easy to resolve with some diplomatic intervention to ones that are so serious, the business is dissolved.
-
Real estate problems of all kinds. This includes leasing or purchasing agreements.
