Employment Law Disputes
There is a wide range of issues that can arise in the context of the employer-employee relationship, starting from the hiring and recruiting phase through to exiting. In addition, there are multiple statutes covering employment law at the federal, state, and local levels. Disputes over wages, overtime, termination, discrimination, harassment, and many other areas can be complicated. The threat to your company is real if litigation becomes necessary to resolve them.
Litigation Regarding Intellectual Property
You invest considerable time, money, and effort in developing intellectual property, including:
- software
- customer lists
- trade secrets
- other valuable assets
Litigation may be necessary if competitors or former employees attempt to gain a competitive edge through misappropriation of intellectual property. Alternatively, if your company uses assets that belong to another entity, a strong defense is essential.
Fraud or Misrepresentation
While you may never intend to engage in willful misconduct, litigation can arise through misleading customers, vendors, partners, and other entities in the course of doing business. Even an error in judgment can result in litigation that affects your bottom line and reputation. Of course, if you are the subject of fraud or misrepresentation, you want to do all you can to seek compensation for your losses. A lawsuit may be necessary to recover for the damages you sustain through another company’s wrongdoing.
Breach of Contract Actions
One of the most common types of business lawsuits stems from contractual relationships with other organizations, either through written or verbal agreements. Business owners do all they can to avoid disputes through carefully crafted documents, but disagreements are still common. A lawsuit for monetary damages is an option, but there are other alternatives in breach of contract actions. Equitable relief may allow you to rescind or modify the agreement. A suit for specific performance is a way to force the other party to comply with contractual requirements.
