Business Litigation

Contract disputes rarely surface at signing. They surface later, when a vendor stops performing, an insurer reads a policy differently than you did, a professional services agreement produces work nobody agreed to, or a counterparty simply stops paying. By then the money at stake is real and the paper record is whatever the parties happened to create at the time. Our first job is reading the actual agreement closely and telling you honestly what it says, including where it works against you.

Lead attorney on every case we take, backed by a dedicated legal team you work with directly.

We have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in commercial and business contract litigation, which shapes how we build a strategy. Knowing how the other side will value its exposure is the fastest route to a resolution that holds. Sometimes that means a negotiated exit that gets you back to running your business. Sometimes it means filing suit, because a counterparty that believes it will never see a courtroom has little reason to pay what the contract requires. We pick based on the leverage in your particular file, not a default.

The work does not stop at the dispute in front of you. Most businesses sign more agreements than anyone has time to read line by line, whether with freelancers, agencies, vendors, or in a regulated industry with its own layered requirements. After resolving a matter we will review the templates you use going forward and tighten the terms that created the exposure, so the same argument does not repeat with the next counterparty.

Contract Disputes

Whenever parties enter into binding legal agreements – whether to obtain certain types of insurance, to offer employment, or to enter into an agreement for the provision of professional services - disputes can later arise, often years after the fact. These disputes can cause confusion, anxiety, and the potential for serious financial losses.

Whether an individual contractor failed to provide services as agreed, or you need help interpreting and resolving an ongoing dispute with a large corporation or government entity, the team at Freundlich & Littman, LLC can provide the resources, experience, and skills to conclude the dispute in an effective way.

Strategy & Best-Practice

Freundlich & Littman, LLC, has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in complicated commercial and business contract litigation. We can scrutinize the contract in question and design a strategy to achieve the best outcome for you, whether that means negotiation or litigation. We can also introduce you to drafting tools and better practices, so you can avoid similar disputes in the future.

Contract Review

Whether you operate a business that contracts freelancers, agencies, and vendors on a regular basis, or you provide services in a heavily regulated industry, you likely have neither the time nor the expertise to review all of your contracts with a fine-toothed comb. Furthermore, the time, money, and energy it takes to resolve thorny disputes can frustrate your business, sap your energy and reduce profits.

Fortunately, our legal team has the talent, experience, and resources to address even the most sophisticated disputes efficiently. Our trial lawyers and litigators can help you, whether you’re struggling with the fine points of a joint venture agreement or you’re facing a breach of contract claim that could, theoretically, cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Save Time & Money

Freundlich & Littman, LLC, can empower you to conclude your dispute and return to focusing on your business and personal life. We can also streamline, clarify and triple check agreements you make going forward in order to minimize your risks of future litigation.

Frequently Asked

Contract Litigation Attorneys: Frequently Asked Questions

Should I have a lawyer review a contract before I sign it?

It is not required, but many parties do it precisely because review is far cheaper than litigation. A short read at the drafting stage catches the ambiguous payment term, the missing termination right, or the venue clause that will otherwise decide where you spend the next two years arguing.

How long does contract litigation take?

It depends on the contract, the number of parties, and whether the dispute is over facts or over how a clause should be read. A two-party payment dispute moves differently than a multi-party joint venture unwinding. We will give you a realistic range for your matter after reviewing the agreement.

Is it better to settle out of court?

Settlement is usually faster and less disruptive, and where it gets you full value we will pursue it. But filing suit is sometimes necessary to be compensated fully, because a counterparty facing no real litigation risk often will not move off a low offer.

Can an oral agreement be enforced?

Sometimes, though certain categories of agreement must be in writing to be enforceable and proving the terms of an unwritten deal is considerably harder. Emails, invoices, and a course of dealing between the parties often carry the weight in these cases, which is why preserving that correspondence matters.

What if the other side is a large corporation or a government entity?

We handle disputes against large corporate counterparties and government entities as well as individual contractors. Claims involving a government entity can carry their own notice requirements and shortened deadlines, so those matters should be reviewed promptly.

What happens if I am the one being sued for breach?

We defend breach of contract claims as well as bring them. Defense work starts the same way: read the agreement, identify what was actually promised, and assess whether the other side performed its own obligations, which is frequently where a defense lives.

Should I call a lawyer before drafting a contract?

Though not necessarily required, many parties choose to contact a lawyer to ensure that the contract is drafted properly and properly serves the parties’ purpose.

How long does it take to litigate a contract?

It depends on the contract and the number of parties. Reach out to an attorney with specific concerns regarding your case for further help.
