What Is Commercial Litigation?
Commercial litigation, or business litigation, is a type of civil litigation involving one or more business entities as parties. When parties cannot resolve a dispute or come to an agreement, commercial litigation attorneys are retained to represent their interests. Commercial litigation cases have become significantly more complex over the past decade. Commercial litigators have seen an increase in parties involved, and as a result, the amount of hours spent on discovery for each case has also seen a dramatic increase.
How Can An Attorney Help?
If you or your business is involved in a commercial litigation dispute, it is critical that you retain the services of an experienced attorney to represent your interests. While contract disputes are common, they can cause financial burdens to businesses. An attorney can assist with the lengthy pre-trial preparation process and court proceedings necessary for your claim and even negotiate a settlement on your behalf before your dispute turns into a lawsuit.

How are Commercial Litigation Lawsuits Resolved?
Not all commercial litigation cases go to trial; in fact, an overwhelming majority – more than 97% of commercial litigation lawsuits – settle before trial. Below are standard methods commercial litigation attorneys use to resolve disputes.
Alternative Dispute Resolution: Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is utilized when the parties prefer to settle outside the courtroom. Mediation and arbitration are some of the main types of alternative dispute resolutions.
Mediation and Arbitration: Mediation and arbitration can be an effective tactic for resolving commercial disputes. An arbitrator listens to the arguments of the involved parties and is tasked with resolving the dispute. In preparation for arbitration, attorneys prepare evidence and testimonies. Arbitration is commonly chosen because it often results in lower costs and faster verdicts. Mediators help expedite the settlement process by supporting both sides in reaching an agreement. The goal of mediators is to come up with a justified solution that will satisfy all of the parties involved with a case.
- Mediators are effective in reaching mutually advantageous agreements; in fact, over 80% of cases that require mediation result in a settlement. Mediation typically results in lower costs and less workload than most formal lawsuits. Most importantly, mediation helps to resolve cases while satisfying the needs and desires of all the involved parties.
Litigation: Litigation is notorious for being a lengthy and expensive process for settling disputes. It is often the last resort when other strategies for resolving disputes are unsuccessful. Although litigation is usually avoided in commercial litigation lawsuits, our attorneys at Halperin, Halperin & Weiskopf, PLLC are experienced trial lawyers, meaning we will go to court to defend you and your company’s rights.
