Business Law
A business litigation is the act or process of litigating: a suit at law, a judicial contest against a business. To protect yourself from a business lawsuit, shield yourself from personal and business liability exposure, make sure you have a comprehensive general business liability policy in place, and have well-drafted company policies and procedures such as an employee handbook, in place.
If your business is sued, call your lawyer, tender an insurance claim, allow your lawyer to speak for you, investigate the allegations, assess your potential liability exposure, formulate a plan of defense and strive for settlement based unsound business judgment. Businesses of all kinds turn to Salek Law with their most important and challenging business disputes. Unlike many large law firms, we have a practice group devoted to business litigation. We evaluate legal and business problems from the perspective of trial lawyers and business people. We work closely with our clients in a team approach to solving their problems. Our business litigation clients appreciate our practical approach to business disputes.
Like our clients, we think strategically about whether a case should be settled, litigated or resolved in some other manner such as mediation. We understand that a lawsuit is not an intellectually abstract exercise but rather a real dispute that involves the expenditure of real resources to achieve what should be real results. We have settled literally hundreds of cases in private or court-supervised mediation, and our experience can often get our clients a favorable settlement without the risk and expense of litigation.
There is no substitute for actual trial experience in business disputes. One of the reasons we achieve excellent results in negotiations is that our adversaries understand that we are prepared to try the case if a settlement is not reached. SLF lawyers have tried bench and jury trials in business cases of every type and size. We have particular experience in explaining the complexities of specialized business disputes to the jurors and judges who ultimately decide cases. One of the benefits of SLF is that we keep our clients informed on a personal level and work closely with them to ensure that their lawsuit is managed in a way that is most likely to obtain the best result in the most efficient manner.
Salek Law Firm is a trusted business adviser to our many business litigation clients. We pride ourselves on our ability to resolve successfully all types of commercial disputes from the relatively routine to the most unusual and sophisticated.
We have successfully represented both businesses and their constituents as both plaintiffs and defendants, in a wide range of business and commercial matters. Whether we litigate to protect our client’s proprietary interests or defend them against catastrophic claims, our clients know that our straight-forward analysis of their legal problems provides the necessary information to make an informed business decision on whether to proceed to trial. If going to trial is required, however, our clients also know that our extensive trial experience provides a winning edge.
