The last thing you want to worry about is being forced to solve business disputes.
As a business owner, you wear many hats and oversee all aspects of your company, including pursuing opportunities and navigating challenges. The good news: you don’t have to manage potential risks alone.
Whether you find yourself addressing conflicts within your organization or handling an issue with a third party, you will quickly find that resolving business disputes can inconveniently consume time you do not have.
But it does not have to be that way. Company Counsel can help.
We will collaborate with you to understand the issue, anticipate any risks, identify potential solutions, and handle the dispute through to resolution. And while we do, you can feel confident that you’re free to stay focused on serving clients, coaching team members, and achieving business goals.
What Are the Most Common Business Disputes?
The most common business disputes involve some sort of breach, or violation or failure to fulfill a legal obligation, term, or duty. For example, business disagreements may arise from a breach in one of these areas:
- Antitrust: related to competition and unfair practices
- Contracts: related to agreements between founders or partners, or with employees, suppliers, contractors, clients, or customers
- Debt Collection: related to overdue payments from customers or clients
- Employment: related to discrimination, compensation, discrimination, non-compete agreements, or termination
- Goods and Services: related to quality, warranties, payment terms, or refunds
- Insurance: related to policy interpretation, coverage, or claims
- Intellectual Property: related to trademarks, copyrights, patents, or trade secrets
- Partnership: related to management decisions, profit sharing, or exit strategies
- Real Estate: related to leases, property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, assessments
- Regulatory Compliance: related to local, state, and federal regulations, licenses, permits, or zoning
Let Company Counsel Resolve Your Disputes
Our No. 1 goal for resolving business disputes: come to resolution quickly and amicably with minimal damage to the company.
Clients want to avoid the time and expense of litigation when possible, and we do that by putting to use our years of experience negotiating between parties and exhausting other options before pursuing litigation.
If a resolution is not reached, a more formal mediation process with a neutral third party may be needed. If a mutually satisfactory solution cannot be found, filing for arbitration allows both parties to present their case to a judge, or panel of judges, with a previous agreement that the arbitrator’s ruling is final. If resolution still is not reached, litigation is the option of last resort. Our attorneys have a wealth of experience in this area, and all of our attorneys appear in court regularly.
