Many Manhattan business owners may not consider hiring a commercial litigation lawyer until they face a lawsuit. While defending against legal action is a major role of commercial litigation lawyers, they can also provide a wide range of services to prevent your business from being the target of lawsuits in the first place.

Our attorneys can prepare strong legal arguments to protect your business’s financial interests and reputation, whether you’re defending against a lawsuit or pursuing a legal claim against another party. For example, during the discovery phase of a lawsuit, the other party may attempt to gain access to your company’s proprietary information.
Effective Dispute Resolution
The majority of commercial disputes don’t require going to trial. Trials are often time-consuming and costly for all parties involved, and it’s generally in everyone’s best interest if the dispute can be resolved by other means. Skilled litigation attorneys understand the value of alternative dispute resolution methods and can evaluate your case and determine the best course of action.
Negotiation is one means of resolving a dispute. During negotiations, the parties and their lawyers attempt to reach an agreement and end the dispute without involving the courts.
Other types of alternative dispute resolution include:
- Mediation – For more complex cases, it can be beneficial to have a neutral mediator facilitate the negotiations. Depending on the parties’ wishes, the outcome of mediation can be legally binding or non-binding.
- Arbitration – In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator makes a legally binding determination on the dispute based on facts presented by the parties.
Strategic Litigation Planning
Going to trial for a commercial dispute without a proper litigation strategy is a recipe for disaster. A commercial litigation lawyer will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your case, gather supporting evidence, and craft a compelling argument to present at trial.
A comprehensive litigation strategy can improve your company’s chances of success at trial and can even make a pre-trial settlement more likely.
Compliance and Risk Management
Businesses must adhere to strict state and federal regulations specific to their industry. Failure to follow these laws can result in expensive lawsuits and sanctions. Our commercial litigation lawyers can help make sure your company complies with industry regulations, employment laws, and business contract terms.
By identifying potential legal risks ahead of time, we can assist you in preventing lawsuits before they arise. Working with a commercial litigation lawyer today is the best way to avoid litigation costs tomorrow.
Cost-Effective Legal Solutions
Hiring a commercial litigation lawyer may seem like an additional expense for your business. However, a lawyer’s knowledge and legal skill can save your business money in the long run. When not handled properly, commercial legal disputes can cause significant financial loss for your business, and having legal representation is the best way to prevent that from happening.
