Business litigation is a formal process used to resolve conflicts between businesses, partners, vendors, customers, and competitors. The goal is to obtain a fair outcome through negotiation, settlement, or, when necessary, court or arbitration processes.
A typical business litigation matter includes initial assessment, evidence gathering, and procedural steps, followed by negotiation, discovery, and, if needed, a trial or alternative resolution. Each case requires clear goals, documented evidence, and timely communication with all parties.
A glossary helps clarify common terms used in business litigation, from pleadings to remedies.
A complaint is the initial formal document filed with the court that outlines a party’s legal claims and requested relief.
Discovery is the pre-trial phase where parties exchange evidence, including documents, emails, and witness information, to build their positions.
Damages are monetary compensation sought or awarded for losses suffered due to a breach or wrongful act.
A settlement is an agreement reached by the parties to resolve the dispute without a trial.
