What Is Commercial Litigation?
Litigation is the process of pursuing legal action. Commercial litigation is any type of legal action involving business matters.
At Burg Simpson, our commercial litigation lawyers have extensive experience handling many types of legal needs for individuals and businesses of all sizes. Commercial litigation may involve questions related to state and federal law. It is of the utmost importance to partner with a law firm that seeks to understand your business objectives.
Negotiations form the core element of most business law cases. However, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit to assert your rights. Burg Simpson handles all aspects of commercial litigation – up to and including preparing for trial and going to court as the situation demands.
How Our Business Litigation Lawyers Can Help
Business owners must abide by a wide range of laws and regulations. Given that the health and future of your company or interest in a company is at stake, it is paramount to seek knowledgeable legal counsel if you are unsure how to proceed.
The team at Burg Simpson Arizona consists of more than a dozen attorneys at the top of their fields. Many of the lawyers at our Phoenix office have decades of experience counseling clients in business and commercial matters.
We can help you with any of the following:
Resolving Disputes
Disputes are commonplace in the business world. If you are facing a disagreement with a partner, shareholders, or any other party or parties, Burg Simpson can help you explore solutions.
As a rule, you should not try to handle business disputes without legal guidance. Types of disputes our commercial litigation attorneys can help you with include:
- Business Disputes
- Contract Disputes
- Corporate Partnership and LLC Disputes
- Financial, Security, and Investment Disputes
- Shareholder Oppression
There may be multiple options for resolving a business dispute. Mediation and arbitration can help the parties reach a mutually beneficial agreement without the time, expense, or antagonism of litigation.
However, if the other side refuses to budge, litigation might be the only way to obtain a favorable result. At Burg Simpson, we are often able to negotiate fair deals on behalf of our clients. If your case ends up going to court, our attorneys are nationally recognized trial lawyers who can fight for the outcome you deserve.
Why Choose Burg Simpson
High-Stakes Litigation
Multiple scenarios can give rise to high-stakes business litigation (also known as “bet your business” litigation). When the future of your company or investment is at stake, it is crucial to have a qualified commercial litigation attorney on your side.
Whether you are facing a lawsuit concerning intellectual property, product liability, a partnership dissolution, or any other make-or-break scenario, Burg Simpson is ready to assist you. Our lawyers understand what is at stake and can serve as your counsel amid any major challenges.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Breach of fiduciary duty is a serious matter. It refers to when a party known as a fiduciary violates his or her responsibility to act in the best interest of another party (known as a represented person; see Arizona Revised Statutes § 47-3307).
At Burg Simpson, we serve businesses on both sides of breach of fiduciary duty actions. Depending on your needs, we can pursue damages or mount a rigorous defense against accusations of a breach.
Fraud
Business fraud is another common source of intense litigation. Issues of false representation, embezzlement, financial improprieties, and more can have major ramifications for your business.
One of the most complicated areas of commercial fraud litigation is securities fraud. Fraudulent activities involving stocks and investments carry not only financial penalties but potential criminal prosecution. Businesses dealing with any kind of securities fraud issues should immediately seek legal representation.
Real Estate and Land Use
For businesses, real estate transactions involve significant money. They are also subject to substantial legal oversight.
Whether you are buying or selling, you need to make sure you are in compliance with all applicable regulations and rules. This includes zoning, disclosure of defects, and more.
Whistleblower Protection and the False Claims Act
The False Claims Act is a national law that protects employees who blow the whistle on companies engaging in activities that defraud the government. Arizona has enacted similar legislation that provides legal protection to workers and agencies at the state level.
Burg Simpson is committed to helping whistleblowers expose wrongdoing. Our attorneys can ensure that you are protected from retaliation. If the government is successful in recovering money based on the information you provide, we will also work to ensure that you are compensated fairly.
Special Districts Litigation
Special districts (classified as “special taxing districts” under Title 48 of the Arizona Revised Statutes) are political subdivisions. They must be created to provide essential public services to a municipality, county, or the state as a whole.
Homeowners and business owners may contest the formation of special districts for a number of reasons. Our firm can handle special districts litigation if a local government entity is infringing on your rights.
