WHAT DOES COMMERCIAL LITIGATION INCLUDE?
“Commercial litigation” is a broad term that covers just about every type of conflict related to business law, including breaches of contract, partnership disputes, breach of fiduciary claims by corporations, shareholder derivative actions, deceptive trade practices, and unfair competition actions. When a business is wronged, legal action – specifically, a lawsuit – may be necessary to recover money damages and other legal remedies.
Specifically, we frequently assist clients with matters involving:
Commercial law encompasses more than just litigation against other businesses and entities, however. There are a variety of internal issues that may call for legal attention.

Generally, no. If we agree to take your case on a contingency basis, you will not pay us any fees unless we prevail or are able to negotiate an acceptable settlement.
When a law firm works under a contingency agreement, they agree to work on a case and advance the expenses of litigation before receiving any initial payment from the client. The client only owes legal fees if the firm recovers money damages. This allows businesses to access quality legal representation they might not otherwise be able to afford. Law firms generally agree to these arrangements when they are passionate about what they do and are confident they can win.
While there is no legal requirement that contracts be written by a lawyer, it is generally a good idea to have an attorney assist you with any binding agreement. Contracts affect your rights and could open you up to significant liability (and other unintended consequences) if you do not fully understand its provisions. We can draft, negotiate, review, and finalize contracts of all kinds and will ensure they are consistent with your goals.
Whether you should consider creating a formal business entity will depend on your individual circumstances. Several entity types are available, and some – including sole proprietorships and general partnerships – do not necessarily require registration in many municipalities. Others, including corporations, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies (LLCs), do require registration with the state and other formalities. Each entity type has distinct advantages related to liability, taxation, and organization that should be carefully considered. If you are not sure which entity type is right for your new business, we can review the pros and cons of each option.
TESTIMONIALS
THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF COMMERCIAL LAW
No business should accept unlawful activity that harms or threatens them. Commercial conflicts are frequently high-stakes matters whose outcomes involve more than direct financial consequences. Internal and external commercial disputes can dramatically impact a company’s professional, public-facing reputation, its ability to reliably do business, its ability to retain talent, and even day-to-day operations.
When your business discovers harmful illegal acts, you should immediately discuss your concerns with a seasoned legal professional to understand your options. Litigation may be necessary to enforce your business’s rights, and, given the complexity of the laws that are used to adjudicate these cases, you should not go to court alone, especially if you are taking on a larger corporation.
Conversely, if you or your organization is accused of wrongdoing and are threatened with litigation, you will need a legal advocate to develop and implement a comprehensive defense strategy. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in all types of commercial disputes.
