Types of Commercial Disputes We Handle
Numerous disagreements where at least one party is a business entity fall within the scope of commercial litigation. Some of the most frequent origins of disputes include breach of contract, intellectual property infringement, shareholder and partnership disputes, employment disputes, antitrust claims, and business torts.
Breach of Contract
Contracts form the cornerstone of business relationships, setting the framework for expectations and obligations. When one party fails to meet its contractual commitments, it can lead to financial losses and conflicts. This is one of the most common triggers for commercial litigation.
Intellectual Property Infringement
Protecting intellectual property rights is paramount in a world where information drives the economy. Fierce disputes over patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets can result when one entity uses another’s branding, inventions, or creative works without permission.
Shareholder and Partnership Disputes
Collaborations can be fruitful, but businesses involving partnerships or multiple stakeholders are susceptible to disagreements over control, profit-sharing, decision-making, and other matters that often require legal intervention. In such cases, experienced commercial litigators can help businesses resolve these conflicts through negotiation, mediation, or litigation to protect their interests and maintain the viability of the collaboration.
Employment Disputes
Employment-related issues like discrimination, wrongful termination, wage disputes, and breach of employment contracts can be complex, costly, and demand ample skill to ensure fair and just outcomes. We can help employers navigate the intricacies of employment-related disputes, achieving equitable resolutions that align with the law and industry standards while minimizing the financial and reputational impact on their businesses.
Antitrust Claims
Antitrust litigation addresses claims that a company or its business practices violate competition regulations. These cases can be related to allegations such as price-fixing, monopolistic conduct, predatory pricing, or other violations.
Business Torts
Fraud, defamation, tortious interference, and other wrongful actions can substantially harm a business’s reputation, finances, or operation. Skilled legal counsel is essential to successfully navigating the legal system and seeking remedies, such as monetary damages or injunctive relief, to address the harm caused by these business torts.
