COMMERCIAL LITIGATION

Berlin Patten Ebling’s commercial and construction litigation practice provides counseling and assistance to protect your vital business interests and ensure that your litigation matters are handled professionally and efficiently. Commercial litigation is a broad area of law that applies to any type of litigation related to business or contractual issues. Commercial litigation includes:

• Contract disputes
• Tortious interference with contracts or business relationships
• Disputes over noncompetition agreements
• Business dissolution
• Shareholder, partnership and management disputes
• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Debt collection
• Consumer fraud and consumer protection issues

Any litigation matter can have a serious impact on your business and bottom line. Even when successful, commercial litigation can be costly and time consuming. Careful consideration must be given to ensure that your litigation strategy is productive and cost-effective relative to the amount of damages involved. It is important to have a competent, experienced litigation attorney at your side through all stages of litigation, including pre-suit counseling, case initiation, defense, discovery, mediation, arbitration, trials and appeals.
