Practice Group
BusinessLitigation
Commercial litigation counsel for businesses and business owners.
Running a business means constant exposure to contract disputes, partnership disagreements, and the occasional outright breach, and how those disputes get resolved can determine whether a business survives them intact. Our business litigation team represents owners and companies across every category above, from routine vendor disputes through full business-divorce separations.
We approach every matter with an eye toward both the legal merits and the practical business outcome our client actually needs, sometimes that's aggressive litigation, and sometimes it's a negotiated resolution that lets a business keep operating without the distraction and cost of a courtroom fight. Either way, we start by understanding what the underlying agreement actually promised before recommending a strategy.
Frequently Asked
Business Litigation: Frequently Asked Questions
When should a business owner call a litigation attorney instead of trying to resolve a dispute directly?
As soon as a dispute involves real money, a breach that's already happened, or a partner relationship that's become unworkable, early legal involvement often prevents a resolvable disagreement from escalating into expensive litigation.
What happens if my business partnership agreement doesn't address how to separate?
State partnership and LLC statutes provide default dissolution and buyout rules when the governing agreement is silent, though those defaults are often less favorable than a negotiated resolution would be.
Can I recover attorney's fees if I win a breach of contract case?
Only if the contract itself contains a fee-shifting provision or a specific statute allows it, otherwise each side generally bears its own fees. Reviewing the contract's specific language is the first step in any breach of contract matter.
How long do I have to bring a breach of contract claim?
Pennsylvania's statute of limitations for a written contract claim is longer than the two-year window that applies to personal injury cases, but the exact deadline depends on the type of agreement and whether New Jersey law might apply instead. An attorney can confirm the timeline for your specific contract.
What's the difference between mediation, arbitration, and litigation for a business dispute?
Mediation is a non-binding negotiation facilitated by a neutral third party, arbitration is a binding private hearing that often replaces court, and litigation is a full court proceeding. Many commercial contracts specify which process applies, so we start by reading your agreement.
Do you represent businesses being sued, not just businesses bringing claims?
Yes, our commercial litigation practice defends businesses against claims we believe are meritless just as often as we pursue claims on a client's behalf.
