Litigation
Litigation is any dispute, or lawsuit, that is heard by a court of law. Business attorneys makes it a top priority to help you avoid litigation – by being proactive as much as possible and, if litigation is unavoidable, by posturing to be in as good and secure a position as possible under the circumstances – and we will be there for you if litigation does become necessary to either defend your company in a lawsuit or to file suit to protect the legal rights of your company.

We have years of experience dealing with non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements and other employer/employee contract disputes.
