Many legal issues, including some disputes with vendors and clients, can be managed by owners through negotiation and mediation, but others often require the expertise of a skilled business litigation attorney. These cases could dramatically impact your business relationships and profit margins, so consulting with a legal professional as soon as possible ensures the best possible outcome. Below are a few situations which may call for a skilled lawyer.

When Does Your Business Need a Lawyer?

1. Breach of Contract Cases

Whether your business partners, vendors, or clients have failed to fulfill their obligations under the contract or your company is accused of being in breach, an attorney will protect your rights and represent your interests. In many cases, they may be able to resolve issues through mediation or other non-adversarial means, preserving existing relationships that may be critical to your business.

2. Intellectual Property Violations

Another company using your formulas, branding, or proprietary information can be incredibly damaging to both your public image and the overall value of your organization. A business litigation attorney can file a suit on your behalf, enforcing your intellectual property rights and collecting compensation for your losses.

3. Lawsuits

Any time an employee, government organization, or other business names you in a lawsuit, you should consult a business litigation attorney immediately. Even relatively minor disputes can have disastrous consequences on your company, resulting in significant financial losses, fines, and regulatory sanctions.
