Business litigation refers to legal disputes arising from commercial relationships, contracts, or business operations. It covers contract disputes, trade secrets, business torts, and other issues that require resolution through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Successful business litigation typically combines case assessment, document collection, strategic pleadings, discovery, motion practice, negotiation, and, if necessary, trial or appeal.
Below are definitions of common terms used in business litigation to help you understand the process.
A violation of a binding agreement between two or more parties that may entitle the non-breaching party to remedies, including damages or specific performance.
Monetary compensation sought or awarded for losses resulting from a breach, wrongful act, or other actionable event in a business dispute.
The exchange of information and evidence between opposing sides, including documents, testimony, and other materials, under court rules.
