• Breach of Contract: Business operations can be disrupted, and profits can be compromised by contractual disputes. We advise and advocate for clients for both enforcement of contract terms and claims of breach of contract allegations to make sure contractual obligations are met and enforced.
• Dissolution Disputes: When a business is dissolved, there can be disputes between the partners or the shareholders. We help our clients focus on the most important aspects of these disputes and move to an equitable resolution.

Understanding the Common Causes of Business Disputes

A business enterprise typically involves multiple relationships (and transactions with other enterprises, employees, and customers), and sooner or later, one or more of these may result in a dispute. Some of the most common reasons for business disputes include:

• Shareholder Disputes
• Contractual Matters
• Professional Negligence
• Protecting Intellectual Property
• Employment Law Issues

Proactive Steps to Protect Your Business

It makes good business and financial sense to avoid a “fight” in the first place. Asbill Law Group counsels clients to take preventive action to protect their business interests.

• Honest Clear Contracts: Write your contracts up with detail and clarity. List deliverables, deadlines, fees, obligations, and expectations in writing.
• Communication: Keep clear communication with your business partners, employees, and stakeholders. It’s good practice to try to handle grievances soon after they arise and before they turn into lawsuits.
• Routine Checkups and Audits: Make sure you have regular audits regarding the safety standards, paperwork, and regulatory compliance required by the state.
• Employee Training: Always train all employees on company policies and legal requirements. This includes those relating to harassment, discrimination, and workplace safety.

FAQs

Q: What Is the Difference Between Corporate and Litigation Law?

A: Corporate law involves the creation, governance, and operation of businesses. It often refers to matters such as mergers and acquisitions or compliance and corporate governance. On the other hand, litigation law is the practice of resolving a dispute within a judicial system, which involves representing the client in lawsuits, mediations, and arbitrations to enforce and defend legal rights.

Q: What Is Civil Rights Litigation?

A: The phrase ‘civil rights litigation’ typically refers to cases that involve constitutional or statutory rights and freedoms involving more than just an individual. These might involve exclusion or persecution on the basis of race or gender, or unreasonable search and seizure, police misconduct, or unreasonable restrictions on free speech or assembly. Illegal hiring practices based on gender, race, or sexual orientation are an example of a potential civil rights suit.

Q: What Is the Meaning of Litigator?

A: A litigator is an attorney who tries lawsuits when they cannot be settled. He or she handles every step of the litigation from start to finish, by investigation, pleadings, discovery, trial, and appeal in order to resolve conflicts and enforce legal rights. Litigators must attend law school and adhere to the laws of the state.

Q: What Is a Business Contract Dispute?

A: A business contract dispute is an issue with a business contract that tends to be about performance, delivery, or payment based on a contract between two parties. Generally, some communication issues or disagreements on terms of performance or payment appear between them. These problems can be resolved through the court if necessary.
