If you’re running a business, one of the first things you should do is identify which attorney you want to work with. It’s a fact that the business world is litigious, and having an attorney on your side is essential. Having an attorney who knows your business and your processes is essential as well.
Commercial litigation simply refers to disputes that take place during normal business activities. This could include problems with employees, government agencies, other businesses or your clients. Some common types of commercial litigation include:
- Lawsuits for personal injury, liability or other business-related issues
- Breach of contract disputes
- Partnership disputes
You will need an attorney if your business ever faces a lawsuit. Don’t think it can happen? You might be surprised. Something as simple as someone falling on the front steps of your business’s entrance can lead to a lawsuit, even if you did all you could to prevent an accident. At that point, you’ll need to defend your business and rights while still maintaining the normal course of business. That’s where your attorney will take control and help guide you through the litigation process, so that you know what to expect every step of the way.
