What Is Commercial Litigation?

Commercial litigation refers to any lawsuit involving one or more business entities. Because commercial litigation typically involves disputes over business transactions, the issues involved tend to be more complex and specialized than other types of litigation. To succeed in a commercial litigation claim, you need a law firm that knows the law and understands your unique business needs.

RKPT’s commercial litigation attorneys have extensive experience representing businesses at all phases of the business life cycle. We bring our specialized knowledge to bear on the most complex and pressing problems facing your business and work to develop creative solutions to solve the most challenging business problems.

Why Is Commercial Litigation Important?

If left unresolved, a commercial dispute can hamper your business’s development, damage its reputation, or result in substantial fines and other losses. A commercial litigation attorney seeks to resolve disputes in a way that will protect your business interests and is consistent with the company’s goals, values, and philosophy.

What Does a Commercial Litigator Do?

A commercial litigation lawyer possesses an in-depth understanding of the litigation process and applies that knowledge to disputes between businesses, or between an individual and a business. The commercial litigator will represent their client in court and can attend business meetings to advise owners, the board of directors, and other leaders on the status of an ongoing lawsuit or the likelihood that a potential business decision will result in litigation.
