If you have been wronged under a contractual agreement with a business partner or if your business partner is harming your business, it is advisable to speak to an attorney as soon as possible.A breach of contract or a partner not acting in the best interests of the business can cause immediate and imminent harm. To minimize the risk of significant loss, you should act promptly. Quick action may protect information and preserve resources.Prior to your first meeting with an attorney, gather copies of any applicable correspondence as well as all contracts and agreements with your business partners that relate to your business and the dispute.
There are some situations in which it is possible to settle a business dispute without help from an attorney.However, when negotiating on your own is ineffective – or when the other company has lawyers involved or the dispute suddenly escalates, it is time to get outside legal help.Our firm offers a free consultation to discuss the specifics of your case. During this consultation, we will explain how we can help in your particular situation.
Each case is different, and many factors can influence whether this is possible. Many business disputes are settled outside of the courtroom.However, it is important that your case is prepared for trial – even if it never ends up in court.We never promote unnecessary business litigation. But we also do not encourage our clients to accept a proposed solution that is unsatisfactory to them. In each case we handle, we learn about our clients’ goals and help them identify the most effective way of meeting them.We invite you to contact our attorneys to find out how we can help with your particular issue. We have more than 70 years of experience settling disputes of all types.
