When Business Goes Wrong
You Built This. Don't Let Another Party Tear It Down.
A partner who won't honor the deal. A competitor crossing the line. A company that took your money, your work, or your customers and dared you to do something about it. When another business costs you real money, letting it slide isn't a strategy.
You may need to take them to court — or you may be the one being sued and need a firm that will stand its ground. Either way, the right move depends on the facts, your leverage, and how quickly you act. That's exactly what a commercial litigation firm is for.

Common Questions
Commercial Litigation FAQs
What is commercial litigation?
Commercial litigation covers legal disputes that arise in the course of doing business — contract disputes, business torts, fraud, partnership and shareholder conflicts, and similar matters. It can play out in negotiation, mediation or arbitration, and in state or federal court, depending on the dispute.
Can I sue another business for money it cost me?
Often, yes — if another business breached a contract, defrauded you, interfered with your relationships, or otherwise caused you a loss, you may have grounds to bring a claim. Whether a lawsuit is the right move depends on the facts, the documentation, and what you're realistically able to recover. A commercial litigation attorney can evaluate your position before you commit to filing.
How long do I have to file a commercial lawsuit in New York?
Deadlines depend on the type of claim. Many breach of contract claims in New York carry a six-year limitations period, while other claims — such as certain fraud or tort claims — follow different rules. Because these timeframes vary and can turn on specific facts, it's important to speak with an attorney promptly to confirm the deadline that applies to your matter.
Does a business dispute have to go to court?
No. Many disputes can and should be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration to avoid the cost of a protracted legal battle. The goal is usually to reach the best result as efficiently as possible — but when litigation is necessary, it helps to have trial-ready counsel prepared to see it through.
How much does a commercial litigation attorney cost?
Fees depend on the complexity of the dispute and the approach your matter calls for. We'll discuss fee structure directly with you so you understand the arrangement before moving forward. Contact our office to talk through your situation and the costs involved.
