Business Litigation Law
What is Business Litigation Law?
Business litigation law refers to the legal process of resolving disputes that arise in a business or commercial context. It encompasses a broad range of legal conflicts involving companies, partnerships, and individuals engaged in business transactions. Business litigation typically involves civil lawsuits rather than criminal matters, with the goal of resolving disputes through legal action in court or through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as arbitration or mediation.

How Business Litigation Works
- Pre-Litigation Negotiation – Many disputes attempt resolution through negotiation or mediation before filing a lawsuit.
- Filing a Lawsuit – If no settlement is reached, the plaintiff files a complaint against the defendant.
- Discovery Process – Both parties gather evidence, including documents, witness statements, and expert testimony.
- Pre-Trial Motions – Lawyers may file motions to dismiss the case or for summary judgment.
- Trial – If unresolved, the case proceeds to trial, where a judge or jury determines the outcome.
- Appeals – If one party disagrees with the verdict, they may appeal the decision to a higher court.
