WHY DO I NEED A BUSINESS LITIGATION ATTORNEY?

by Van Den Heuvel Law Office

Why do you need to hire a business litigation attorney in Michigan? You might be asking yourself that question when you are dealing with a business law matter at your company, or you are engaged in a business dispute. You might also be wondering how a business litigation lawyer can assist you with matters designed to prevent litigation in the future. In short, if you have any type of business dispute or concerns about potential business disputes in the future, you should know that our business litigation attorneys can assist you. Many business owners assume that they should only get in touch with a business litigation attorney when there is a need to file a lawsuit or defend against a lawsuit. In fact, business litigation attorneys serve many important roles.

Reviewing and Drafting Contracts to Prevent Litigation in the Future

Business litigation lawyers in Michigan can assist you with drafting and reviewing contracts and other agreements with an eye toward preventing litigation in the future. From employment contracts to real estate contracts involving commercial landlords and tenants, our firm can take steps to help you avoid litigation later on.

Handling Informal Negotiations to Resolve an Existing Dispute

When a business dispute does arise, a business litigation attorney can take initial steps that may involve informal negotiations to resolve the dispute. Often, neither party to the dispute wants to go to court, and it may be possible to negotiate a reasonable resolution in order to move forward. In some cases, a party might not even realize that they have breached a contract or failed to abide by the terms of an agreement, and the issue can be resolved informally.

Representing Your Business in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

Before it becomes necessary to consider litigation, you may be able to resolve your dispute through a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in Michigan. Businesses often use arbitration to resolve disputes, but mediation can also allow you to resolve an existing dispute in a private and cost-effective manner.

Taking Your Case to Court When Necessary

Many business disputes can be resolved long before it is necessary to file a lawsuit and to go to court. Indeed, informal negotiations may resolve certain issues, while others may be resolved through ADR processes like mediation or arbitration. Even when it is necessary to file a lawsuit, it is often possible to resolve the issue through a settlement before anyone needs to appear in court. Yet we are prepared to take your case to court when necessary, too.
