Overview
Commercial litigation, also known as “business litigation,” stems from legal disputes arising out of the business context. The most common disputes arise out of a broken promise and a breach of a contract. Sometimes, disputes arise out of the quality of the product delivered, the failure to pay on the contract, the failure to perform a service pursuant to a contract.
The more complex commercial litigation cases often involve “business tort claims,” which are disputes that do not primarily involve a contract. Business tort claims occur in every business context and across all industries. The most often business tort claims that arise are theft of trade secrets; when one business unfairly interferes with another’s business; when a company engages in unethical or oppressive tactics to interfere and harm another company’s reputation, relationships, and economic opportunities.

Do You Have A Claim?
