Common Types of Commercial Litigation
Disputes leading to commercial litigation frequently arise in several areas. Common types of commercial litigation include:
- Cybersecurity and data breach litigation: Cybercrime and data breaches are increasing in sophistication, scale, and frequency, which is leading to increased litigation. State laws and case law provide consumers with legal avenues for relief when data security breaches occur.
- Franchise litigation: Retail and restaurant franchises are springing up all over the nation. For every franchise that is built, there is a franchise agreement – a complex legal document controlling every aspect of the franchise and specifying the responsibilities of both parties. When a franchise agreement is violated, either by the franchisor or the franchisee, it can give rise to franchise litigation.
- Corporate and LLC litigation: This commercial litigation subcategory encompasses many possible areas of conflict. Corporate litigation may arise from: Corporate mergers and acquisitions; disputes regarding corporate management and control; shareholder disputes; non-compete agreements; non-disclosure agreements; LLC member disputes; or employment agreements.
- Intellectual property litigation: Patents, trademarks, and copyrights are valuable assets for the companies that own them and a main source of revenue in many cases. Infringement of patents or other intellectual property can lead to commercial litigation.
- Commercial real estate litigation: This type of litigation involves income-producing properties and projects. It may involve apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, industrial and specialty properties, office buildings, and retail businesses. Commercial real estate litigation may arise in areas of financing, acquisition, construction, or development.
- Deceptive trade litigation: Also referred to as fraud, deceptive trade is an attempt to deceive consumers so they will purchase a product or service. Commercial fraud litigation frequently involves false advertising.
