Representation in Different Types of Litigation

Whether you are the plaintiff or defendant in a legal dispute, you should be sure to understand your rights, the procedures that will be followed, and the best ways to achieve your goals. We can provide the legal help you need in multiple types of litigation, including:

• Business litigation – We can help you determine your options for resolving different types of business disputes, including those involving disagreements between business partners, violations of employment contracts or non-compete agreements, fraud, anti-competitive activity, breach of fiduciary duty, intellectual property infringement, or indemnification. If litigation is necessary, we will work with you to obtain any necessary restraining orders or injunctions to protect your business, and we will provide you with representation to help you reach a positive outcome to your case. 
• Breach of contract disputes – When one party to a contract claims that another party has failed to fulfill the contract’s terms, the non-breaching party may pursue litigation against the breaching party. In these cases, it will first be necessary to determine whether the contract is enforceable. Depending on the type of breach and the resulting financial harm to the non-breaching party, the breaching party may be required to pay monetary damages, or specific performance may be ordered, requiring the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations.
• Civil litigation – Individuals may need to address disputes with other individuals or businesses, and these disputes often involve money owed by one party to another. Certain procedures will need to be followed in these types of cases, including sending a demand letter, filing a complaint and response, conducting discovery, attempts to negotiate a settlement, and a trial before a judge or jury. At the conclusion of litigation, one party may be ordered to make a monetary payment to the other, or the judge or jury may require them to take specific actions.
