What Is Commercial Litigation?
Commercial litigation encompasses any type of litigation involving business issues. These disputes are often, but not always, between businesses. The types of issues settled through commercial litigation are many and widely varied.
How Does Commercial Litigation Differ from Other Civil Litigation?
In civil litigation, a party brings an action against another party to enforce or defend a legal right. The plaintiff is typically seeking monetary damages from the defendant. Commercial litigation is different than other types of civil litigation because it typically involves businesses rather than individuals, and because the issues involved may be specialized and more complex. Additionally, commercial litigation is often filed in federal court, rather than in state court, and it may occur as multi-district or class action litigation.
Types of Commercial Litigation We Handle
Our firm handles a wide range of commercial litigation matters. The following are some of the types of cases for which we provide high-quality, experienced representation.
Corporate Litigation
Many different areas of conflict arise in corporate litigation. Smaller companies may be plagued by the same issues as large corporations. Examples of common areas of conflict include:
- Corporate mergers and acquisitions
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Non-compete agreements
- Employment agreements
- Corporate management and control disputes
- Shareholder disputes
- LLC member disputes
Franchise Litigation
New restaurant and other retail chains are being built across the nation through franchise agreements. These agreements are complex legal documents that control everything about a franchise. Litigation can arise when either the franchisee or the franchisor alleges violations of the franchise agreement. Examples of common allegations may involve:
- False claims made by the franchisor to a prospective franchisee about the status of the company
- The royalty system by which the franchisor collects its fee
- Use of unapproved suppliers by the franchisee
- Lack of support and training provided by the franchisor
Intellectual Property Litigation
For many businesses, their intellectual property is their lifeblood. Patents, trademarks, and copyrights may be worth millions and serve as the main source of revenue for a company. Most commercial litigation involving intellectual property arises when there is a question of infringement on a patent, trademark, or copyright.
Cybersecurity and Data Breach Litigation
As the frequency and scale of cyber-attacks escalates, cybersecurity and data breach litigation are expected to increase. A data breach can cost millions, and states continue to pass and expand laws protecting consumer data.
