Corporate Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Contact our attorneys for corporate litigation and dispute resolution.

Businesses do not want to spend their time battling a corporate dispute, but it is sometimes unavoidable. The cost of finding a resolution can be significant, not just in financial terms, but also in time and resources. If you find yourself in a corporate litigation matter, it is important to get in touch with a corporate attorney.


Common Types of Corporate Disputes and Their Resolution Mechanisms

 


Corporate Dispute Types

 


Contract Issues

 

Contract disputes are a common cause of corporate litigation cases. These types of cases can arise in-house (e.g., arising from an employee contract dispute), between businesses (e.g., a business fails to pay for goods/services or fails to deliver goods/services), or between a customer and a business (e.g., the customer is dissatisfied with the service they received).


Intellectual Property

 

Intellectual property disputes may arise when two or more parties claim rights to intellectual property. During these cases, the challenged or challenging party may have to show evidence that they are the rightful owners of the IP.


Ownership Disputes

 

Ownership disputes sometimes arise between owners of a business.  For example, an owner may claim that they are not receiving benefits to which they are entitled, that another owner has been misappropriating funds, or that a breach of contract has occurred.


Resolution Mechanisms


Meditation

 

Meditation is sometimes a cost/time-effective way to deal with corporate disputes. This method of corporate dispute resolution involves hiring a neutral mediator to help the parties involved in the dispute come to a resolution, though these resolutions may be non-binding unless otherwise agreed.


Arbitration

 

Arbitration is sometimes considered a middle tier of dispute resolution. Under this mechanism, the dispute is heard by a neutral third-party who, after hearing all sides of the argument, delivers a decision. This decision is binding and can only be appealed under very limited circumstances.


Litigation

 

Litigation occurs when a lawsuit is filed. Disputes are sometimes resolved before trial. Experienced litigators are recommended for this process.


Strategies for Mitigating Litigation Risks

 

Develop Sound Policies

 

Businesses that do not develop robust, legally-sound policies are at an increased risk of litigation. Conducting regular legal audits, during which your potential legal risks are identified, can be an effective way to limit the risk of litigation.


Take Prompt Action

 

It is not always possible to avoid problems. If a potential issue arises, act promptly. It is sometimes possible to avoid lengthy litigation battles by taking a proactive approach to problems.


Consult With Legal Experts

 

It is recommended to work with legal professionals for your industry on an ongoing basis. Legal professionals can ensure that your business is compliant with local and national laws, help with contract drafting, and perform risk assessments.
