Business and Commercial Litigation

The possibility of conflict exists in every commercial context.

While many conflicts are easily and amicably resolved, others can disrupt operations and even threaten a company’s very existence.

The attorneys of Smith Legacy Legacy Law have considerable experience helping business owners and companies successfully navigate all manner of commercial disputes. No matter what issues your business is facing, they’re ready to provide insightful advice and execute innovative litigation strategies designed to advocate for and protect your business’s interests in the matter.

Experience Matters

Business and commercial litigation is a highly specialized practice area – one in which experience absolutely matters. Taking the time to identify a trusted legal partner with a deep knowledge of the law and a thorough understanding of the issues at play in these extremely complex cases could mean the difference between success or failure.

With a proven track record representing business owners and companies of all sizes, our attorneys are able to provide comprehensive business and litigation support to clients across a broad range of matters, including, but not limited to:

Breach of Contract Claims

When drafted and implemented in accordance with the law, contracts are legally binding. However, on occasion, one party is unwilling or unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to the detriment of the other. Our attorneys have significant experience handling all manner of complex breach of contract cases including asset-purchase agreements, commercial leases, employment contracts, business debts, and licensing agreements.

Purchase or Sales Disputes

Buying or selling a business is a complex transaction ripe for conflict.  Our attorneys have helped both sellers and purchasers successfully navigate disputes related to breaches of payment terms, warranty claims, confidential information, trade secret disputes, and more.

Employment Disputes

Disputes between an employer and employee can quickly escalate to full-blown litigation. Our attorneys have successfully represented companies in a broad range of employment law matters, including those involving wrongful termination, discrimination and harrassment, non-compete agreements, and trade secrets.

Partnership Disputes

Business partners don’t always see eye to eye. While most conflicts can be resolved amicably, some occasionally require intervention. Our attorneys have enabled our clients to achieve favorable results in mediation, arbitration, and litigation.

Intellectual Property Disputes

Businesses expecting to reap the rewards of inventions and innovations must take steps to protect their intellectual property. Smith Legacy Law helps companies obtain, maintain, enforce, and strategically leverage patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights in the United States and abroad.

Insurance Disputes

Companies purchase insurance policies to protect their property, their employees, their inventory, and their investments. We represent businesses in a broad range of insurance disputes, including bad faith denial of claims.
