Commercial

Business and commercial litigation that resolves contract claims, business torts, and partnership disputes efficiently, so you spend less time fighting and more time running the company you built.

Business and commercial litigation has a way of swallowing the time and attention you need for the actual business. We represent companies in contract claims, business torts, and owner disputes with one goal in mind: resolve the fight on terms you can live with, as fast as the facts allow, with minimal disruption to operations.

Breach Of Contract Claims

We litigate breach of contract disputes from both sides, whether you are enforcing an agreement, recovering damages, or pushing back on a strained reading of the terms. Because our attorneys come from engineering backgrounds, we are comfortable with the technical detail behind technology, software, and services contracts, and we build the record around what the deal actually required and what went wrong.

Fraud And Business Torts

When a deal goes sideways because someone lied, interfered, or competed unfairly, the contract alone often is not enough. We pursue and defend fraud, tortious interference, unfair competition, and related business tort claims, tying each element to the evidence and to the harm your business actually suffered so the theory holds up at summary judgment and at trial.

Partnership And LLC Disputes

Disputes among co-owners get personal fast and threaten the company in the process. We handle fights among business partners and LLC members, including breach of fiduciary duty claims, deadlock, dissolution, and buyout valuations. We work to protect your stake and, where it makes sense, structure an exit that lets the business keep running instead of tearing it apart.

Emergency Injunctive Relief

Some problems will not wait for a normal litigation calendar. When a former partner walks off with your customers or a counterparty is about to do irreversible damage, we move for temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, assembling the factual showing and the legal argument on a compressed timeline to lock things down before the harm becomes permanent.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the strength of your case, the value at stake, the cost of fighting, and whether you want to preserve the relationship. We weigh the litigation odds against settlement potential before you file, so the decision is driven by economics rather than emotion.

Usually expectation damages, meaning the money needed to put you where you'd have been if the contract had been performed. That can include lost profits and consequential damages, and in some cases a court will order specific performance instead, requiring the other side to actually do what they promised.

Often not. The default American rule is that each side pays its own fees. You can usually recover them only if your contract has a fee-shifting clause or a statute allows it, which is one reason fee provisions in contracts matter.

Yes. Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions exist for situations where you'd suffer irreparable harm that money can't fix. To get one, you generally have to show you're likely to win on the merits and that the harm is genuinely urgent.

Common paths are a buyout of one partner, dissolution of the business, or claims brought on the company's behalf. Your partnership or operating agreement often dictates the process, so that document is the first place we look before mapping out options.

Many contracts require mediation or arbitration before, or instead of, a lawsuit, so check your agreement first. Even when it isn't required, mediation often resolves a dispute faster and more cheaply than fighting it out in court.
