Commercial Litigation Attorney in Pembroke Pines

When businesses are unable to resolve disputes, it’s time to talk with a commercial litigation attorney in Pembroke Pines. From disputes, fraud, distribution issues, and any other type of commercial dispute, a business litigation attorney can help your business find common ground and come to a satisfactory resolution.

Commercial litigation can involve numerous types of issues between businesses. These might include:

• Breach of contract
• Contract interference 
• Sale agreements
• Purchase agreements
• Compliance issues
• Collections
• Fraud
• Trade secrets
• Partnership agreements
• Shareholder issues
• Employment issues
• Insurance claims
• Uniform Commercial Code issues
• Antitrust issues
• Lower court appeals
• Product liability
• Arbitration
• Labor disputes

When these types of disputes arise, there are typically two avenues for resolution: negotiate for a solution that both parties can agree upon, or file a lawsuit and have the courts attempt to resolve any issues among the parties. Resolution of commercial disputes before filing a lawsuit may include mediation, arbitration, or an evaluation by a neutral third party such as a magistrate.

When a dispute resolution fails, a lawsuit may be the only recourse available. Commercial litigation can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring a thorough examination of a contract’s terms and an understanding of the underlying issues that led to the dispute. When commercial litigation is imminent, a commercial litigation lawyer is here to help.

When your business needs help, speak with a Pembroke Pines business litigation law firm such as Schlacter Law.

Common commercial business issues involve breaches of contract. A breach of contract is when one party fails to adhere to the obligations that were agreed upon and established in the contract. Florida Statutes §672.301 – §672.328 lay out the foundations for contract law in Florida, including the general obligations of parties and what is considered an unconscionable contract or clause.

According to Florida Statutes §672.302, if the court “finds the contract or any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result”.

Unfortunately, Florida law remains unclear on the definition of “unconscionable.” When a legal term is not established, the term is interpreted under its common-law meaning. In this case, “unconscionable” refers to when one party does not do what is right or reasonable. When a commercial dispute arises, it may not be immediately apparent when one party has failed to perform their obligations under the contract terms, nor when their actions were wrong or unreasonable. This is where a commercial litigation attorney can help.

Commercial litigation issues require an attorney who understands the complex issues involved in today’s business environment.
