What We Do
Commercial Litigation
Running a business is filled with challenges. To stay ahead of your rivals, you must be constantly innovative and in touch with the demands of the market. You have to make the right personnel choice and put into place processes that keep your company competitive. You must also protect your legal flanks. A corporation is a legal entity, and every deal and transaction you make comes under the regulation of law. The only way to ensure that you always operate on a legally sound basis is to have a commercial lawyer constantly by your side.
The law is a wide and unwieldy field. Each lawyer must specialize in a segment of it to be effective. Commercial lawyers deal with a broad range of sophisticated and complex commercial matters, including litigation. One of the most important things to understand is that being in business makes you a target for litigation. You can be sued at any time by individuals, governments, or other companies.
At some point, you may also need to launch litigation to protect your own interests. In a competitive business environment, broken contracts, bad relations, and failures on the part of suppliers, partners, and allies occur regularly. When these things happen, your company should not be the one to suffer. You should protect your revenue, brand, and reputation at all costs. A commercial litigation attorney will help you do so.
Such attorneys pursue and defend client interests in the following matters:
- Commercial disputes
- Shareholder and partnership disputes
- Intellectual property protection
- Contract disputes
- Real estate disputes
- Employment disputes
- Debt collection
The process of litigation tends to be long and complicated. The lawyer you hire should be efficient and effective in the way they handle your case. Most commercial litigation is settled out of court. If a settlement will work to your advantage, then that is what your Maggs Law attorney should recommend. If not, then they should be prepared to go to trial.
