Understanding Business Litigation

Commercial litigation, or business litigation, is an area of law that deals with various types of disputes that can arise in a business context. These include: 

• Breach of contract 

• Partnership and joint enterprise disputes 

• Class actions 

• Business torts 

• Civil litigation 

• Breach of fiduciary duty 

• Shareholder litigation 

When business relationships sour, both parties frequently play a role in the resulting disagreement and both parties (either justifiably or unjustifiably) deem themselves the aggrieved victims. For this reason, competent business representation is crucial to helping clients evaluate claims and weigh the costs and benefits of formal litigation, as opposed to other dispute resolution forums and techniques. 

Successful commercial litigators evaluate the merits of a dispute and listen to their clients to determine how best to prosecute or defend against a claim. Because of the high stakes of commercial litigation, your attorney needs to possess critical skills such as sound judgment and strategic decision-making.  

If you're faced with serious issues that are threatening the health of your bottom line, be sure to hire an attorney who is familiar with your industry and your specific business, is readily accessible in-person or on the phone, and is willing to address your concerns and the impact upon your business. 

One important fact about business litigation in Florida is the state's strong emphasis on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation and arbitration. This approach encourages disputing parties to find amicable solutions out of court, aiming to save time, reduce legal fees, and make traditional lawsuits less hostile.
