Trusted Legal Guidance for Business Owners
Disputes among business partners, directors and shareholders, competitors, customers, vendors and suppliers are all very common. It is critical that all businesses work with a Miami business dispute lawyer who will protect their interests in any type of disagreement. A business dispute lawyer can explore different options for resolution, weigh the benefits and risks, and work with businesses to understand their goals and needs. Below are some of the most common disputes our expressed attorneys can help you resolve.
Breach of Contract
A contract dispute may involve defending, challenging, or enforcing legal agreements in a breach of contract lawsuit or other contractual dispute. These disagreements occur between employers and employees, vendors and suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and more. It is essential that contract disputes are resolved quickly and efficiently so they do not cause further harm to the business or businesses involved.
Business Torts
Business torts can arise between businesses in competition with each other or that are not based on contractual obligations. These disputes may include unfair competition, allegations of fraud, or deceptive trade practices. When litigation is necessary to resolve these disputes, compensation can extend beyond the losses actually suffered. Injunctions can also prohibit a business from continuing to engage in certain activities.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Litigation
The Uniform Commercial Code is a set of laws that govern all commercial transactions in Florida, and throughout the entire country. It is not a federal law but a set of laws that all states have uniformly adopted. These laws address many different types of commercial activities such as the sale of goods, negotiable instruments, and secured transactions. An in-depth understanding of the Code is essential when interpreting, challenging, or enforcing contracts and when navigating litigation surrounding the leasing or sale of commercial goods or when granting credit secured by personal property.
Partnership Disputes
Partnerships often work until they do not. Partners may disagree about how a business should be operated, how resources should be used, breaches of fiduciary duty, and more. Partnership disputes can cause a great deal of harm to a business. It is critical that co-owners of a business draft a comprehensive partnership agreement to avoid possible disputes.
Shareholder Disputes
Disputes can arise between shareholders and the board of directors or between the shareholders themselves. Shareholders may disagree about the amount of compensation each stockholder receives, or they may file a derivative lawsuit against the corporation or its officers. Like partnership disputes, disagreements involving shareholders are also some of the most harmful to a business.
