What is Commercial Litigation?
A business’s most prized assets include its good name and reputation, its trademarks and its relations with business clients. If any of those assets are harmed or threatened by another party’s wrongful act, you need the guidance of an experienced business litigation lawyer to protect your interests.
Business litigation generally involves disagreements about the sale or lease of property, shareholder rights, contract disputes, the sale of goods and services, issues with an insurance company or commercial lender, lease agreements, disputes involving the lease or sale of property, partnership disputes, or construction disputes. When a contested issue reaches the stage where litigation is a real possibility, it is important to have a skilled Alabama commercial litigation attorney providing trusted counsel.
