Business litigation can
be used as a way to remedy business disputes when they can't be resolved
through negotiation or arbitration proceedings, whether it's a private
individual or a business entity that has a legal issue with another
business entity. A good business litigation attorney can
be invaluable in protecting your rights and your company's business
interests. Breach of fiduciary duty can cause a strain between business partners
or shareholders in closely held corporations. If one member violates
his obligation to operate in good faith and loyalty then other partners
can recover with business litigation.
A common instance that can result in an individual bringing
business litigation against a business is in a dispute over intellectual
property. Any infringement on a patent, trademark or copyright is
grounds for business litigation.
If commercial insurance companies undervalue or deny a fair claim
then businesses, particularly small businesses, can recover the amount
they are entitled to with business litigation. Insurance companies can
sometimes attempt to avoid fully paying a legitimate claim, or even
avoid paying it at all, by using confusing or deceptive wording in the
contract. There are countless other areas in which a business may have a
need for business litigation to resolve a dispute against another
business.
