Becoming involved in a legal dispute can be an intimidating prospect for most businesses. This is true regardless of whether your business is the plaintiff bringing the lawsuit to protect your rights or the defendant being sued. Lawsuits can threaten the future of your company and distract you from the day-to-day activities of running operations. Without the guidance of an experienced business litigation attorney, your business could be left defenseless against legal actions, fines, and penalties.
At Conte Clayton & Austin, we know the importance of strategy and action. Our team takes a proactive approach to defending your business against internal and external legal threats so you can look toward the future with confidence.
Why work with a business litigation lawyer?
By nature, running a business involves financial and interpersonal challenges. Client-focused business litigators who make the effort to understand your business can provide the guidance and support you need to overcome legal issues quickly and achieve your objectives with confidence and clarity.
If you’ve encountered a conflict with a business partner, customer, contractor, competitor, or even an employee, you shouldn’t face it alone. It’s crucial to have someone on your side with the knowledge and experience needed to protect your interests.
Our business litigation services
Going to court may not be the most strategic option in every scenario, but when litigation is truly advantageous (or simply unavoidable) for your business, our attorneys will fight tirelessly to protect your rights and interests before a judge.
We offer a wide range of business litigation services so you can rest assured that your assets, staff, and reputation are thoroughly protected.
Contract disputes
In the event that breach of contract, non-performance, non-payment, or other contract-related issues arise, we’ll help you resolve the dispute and pursue the fullest possible compensation for damages in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
Shareholder and partnership disputes
Good business is built on mutually respectful relationships. When your business relationships are impacted by disputes with partners, shareholders, or other members of your business entity, we’re here to help restore the peace.
Business torts
Don’t let fraud, misrepresentation, or other types of interference with your business relationships jeopardize your success. We help you pursue compensation for economic losses related to these types of business disputes.
Intellectual property disputes
Protecting your intellectual property rights is critical if you want to stand out. We’ll represent your business’s intellectual property and help you defend against allegations of trademark infringement.
Employment disputes
Lawsuits are a risk for any business of any size. When allegations of discrimination, wrongful termination, harassment, or wage and hour violations threaten your business, we protect your reputation fiercely and negotiate the most favorable settlement possible.
Is your business protected?
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) for businesses
Many business owners assume that traditional litigation is the only way to settle a dispute, but that’s not always the case. In fact, avoiding court altogether may be preferable to preserve business relationships and save money. With an attorney who is experienced in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) on your side, it’s often possible to take this route.
Many business owners prefer ADR over courtroom litigation because it is often more efficient and affordable than going in front of a judge. It’s also an attractive option for reaching mutually acceptable solutions privately and peacefully.
