What Is Business Litigation?
Business litigation is a process of resolving legal disputes between businesses, their owners, shareholders or third parties. It includes various issues such as:
- Contract disputes
- Partnership or shareholder conflicts
- Intellectual property infringements
- Employment matters
- Breach of fiduciary duty claims
Businesses in New Jersey face these challenges as they operate within a complex legal and regulatory framework. Depending on the severity and scope of the dispute, business litigation may require resolving matters through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or litigation in court.
With New Jersey’s highly competitive business environment, understanding state-specific laws, including those governing corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs) and contracts, is vital in handling such disputes.
What Is Commercial Litigation?
Commercial litigation focuses specifically on disputes arising from commercial transactions and business conduct. It can include:
- Breach of contract
- Fraud
- Misrepresentation
- Unfair competition
- Antitrust violations
- Shareholder issues
- Disputes related to business acquisitions or mergers
Commercial litigation often involves complex financial analysis and may require expert testimony, especially in valuations, financial statements and intricate contract terms. Since many businesses in New Jersey deal in interstate commerce, these cases can involve state and federal laws, adding to their complexity.
Commercial litigation can be costly and time-consuming for businesses. Therefore, a strategic legal approach to protecting assets and reputations is crucial.
