What Business Litigation Requires a Lawyer?

Generally, any partnership, corporation, LLC, non-profit, business or other legal entity requires representation by a business litigation attorney. If an action is filed against your business, the proceedings may take time to run their course. Common issues that may require a business litigation lawyer include:

  • Business torts. These torts, one of the most common disputes, occur when a legal entity harms the interests of a business. These claims can disrupt your business and may result in breaches of contract.
  • Shareholder disputes. Disputes between the shareholders of your business may take many forms and involve a wide range of issues. Additionally, depending on your shareholder agreement, these can be difficult to settle.
  • Business and contract disputes. Disputes between your business and its employees and/or vendors can be costly and damaging. However, our attorneys can help you enforce a contract or defend you against breach of contract accusations.
  • Consumer actions. If your business is facing a consumer action or lawsuit, then our Modesto business litigation lawyers can help defend you.
  • Product liability cases. These types of lawsuits can be protracted and costly, so you should always consult a lawyer for defense help.

Our Modesto business litigation lawyers can help you prove the validity of your claim at any stage and, in some cases, may stop a claim before it starts. We can identify potential liabilities to help your business avoid costly and lengthy court proceedings.

If you have any concerns about your business, contact Swingle, Van Egmond & Heitlinger. By addressing issues before they develop into legal battles, we can bring you peace of mind about your future.
