Business Litigation
National & International Transnational Matters
Business Litigation Law includes evaluating, handling and solving contractual and tort claims before State and Federal courts, administrative agencies, mediators, and arbitrators. Examples of business litigation cases include, but are not limited to:
- breach of contract or fiduciary duty;
- unfair competition;
- employer/employee disputes;
- abuse of trust;
- infringement of intellectual property rights;
- tortious interference with contractual relationships;
- violation of agreements limiting competition;
- consumer fraud.
In a Business Litigation case there are generally three steps:
First, the strengths and weaknesses of the case must be evaluated, after conducting proper legal research;
Second, it is necessary to prepare the most effective strategy for the case and, at the same time, try to discuss the case with the opposing party in an effort to reach a settlement;
Finally, is the settlement efforts failed, it is necessary to prepare for trial; this is generally done through interrogatories, depositions, or other pre-trial motions.
Corporate litigation and commercial insurance litigation constitute an important parts of business litigation.
The Uniform Commercial Code unifies the commercial laws of the United States, having been adopted in all 50 states (with some modification in some States), the District of Columbia, and the American territories.
Nowadays that the economy has a global outlook, commercial transactions have become increasingly international, and businesses are often engaged in legal disputes arising out international commerce, trade, or sales that cross international boundaries. When the parties are unable to settle claims through mediation or arbitration proceedings, International Business Litigation is the only option to resolve them.
