Commercial litigation generally refers to legal disputes affecting one or more businesses. Rather than dealing with the formation, organization, or acquisition of a business—a field attorneys generally refer to as corporate law—commercial litigation involves some conflict requiring a resolution.
Do you find yourself in a business dispute or sense one may be on the horizon? Then, hiring a commercial litigation lawyer could assist. They can help you resolve the problem efficiently.
Examples of Commercial Litigation Cases
Running a business is complicated. Thus, a commercial litigation attorney must be well-versed in a wide range of disputes and possible resolutions. We represent clients who face conflicts over the following:
- Alleged monopolistic business practices (antitrust cases)
- Bad-faith business practices
- Fraud allegations
- Land-use issues
- Ownership of real estate or real property
- Ownership or usage of intellectual property
- Contract disputes
- Alleged negligence, like a slip and fall accident
- Possible labor law violations
- Partnership and ownership of a business entity
- Debt collection
- Tax liability
- Whistleblower allegations
- Wages supposedly owed to current or former employees
- Licensing and supplier agreements
No matter which side of a given dispute you and your business are on, you might have little time to dedicate to litigation. However, hiring a commercial litigation lawyer allows you to avoid a stressful process that few business owners want to manage.

What Is the Ideal Outcome of a Commercial Litigation Case?
The ideal outcome of litigation depends on the case. Depending on the origins and nature of your litigation, you may want it resolved in one of these manners.
Obtain Compensation for Harm Done to Your Business
We represent individuals and organizations pursuing civil action for damages. For example, you may seek compensation through commercial litigation because:
- Someone’s actions (such as a motorist who struck your building) caused a costly business interruption.
- A former employee or competitor defamed your business, causing reputational harm.
- A competitor infringed on your intellectual property, thereby obtaining customers (and financial gain) you may have otherwise realized.
Stop Another Party from Engaging in a Specific Action
You may want another party to cease actions that have caused harm to your business, which may include the following:
- Representing themselves as a member of your organization
- Making false statements about your organization
- Illegally using your intellectual property
- Harassing or threatening you or your employees
Your attorney from our team can follow up a cease-and-desist letter with legal action if the letter does not have the intended effect.
Secure the Legally Honored Right to Engage in a Certain Activity
You may need to engage in litigation to:
- Perform a service, make certain claims, or use products to which others claim intellectual property.
- Occupy a particular property or plot of land.
- Address questions regarding your right to serve a specific market.
- Use certain logos, fonts, or other marketing materials.
These may be high-stakes legal battles, as organizations often invest large sums into their marketing and business operations. Any challenge to your ability to do business as usual could prove costly, so you need a business litigation lawyer who gets results.
