Commercial Litigation Lawyers in Sandusky

Representation Both In & Out of Court

When two companies have a conflict regarding a contract, agreement, or industry regulation, it can rapidly turn into an intense legal situation with high stakes and varied complications. In some cases, mishandling the conflict can result in the end of one of the businesses and the destruction of the other’s reputation. In others, millions of dollars’ worth of revenue, product, clientele, or intellectual property value could be hanging in the balance. With so much on the line when your business is in a legal conflict, you need to choose a law firm you can trust to represent you and your business.

At Murray & Murray, we offer award-winning commercial litigation representation for businesses-to-business conflicts in Sandusky and beyond. We are capable of managing courtroom proceedings at both state and federal levels, meaning you do not need to worry about shopping around again for legal counsel if your case escalates. Not all business conflicts need to go to commercial litigation, though. When arbitration, mediation, or an administrative hearing can reach a positive outcome instead of litigation, you can count on us to guide and represent you during these procedures, too.

Commercial Litigation Compared to Civil Litigation

The roots of commercial litigation are similar to other legal processes you might already know about, like a personal injury claim. To begin your case, you should first retain an experienced attorney who will gather facts, research all applicable laws, and formulate the claim on your behalf. While the claim is pending, you can attempt to negotiate a settlement or fair conclusion before going before a judge and jury. If the claim does not resolve amicably for your business, you can consider escalating things to a lawsuit.

Where commercial litigation differs is primarily in the fact that the disputes involve businesses rather than individuals. This caveat makes most commercial cases much more complex than civil litigation cases. Specialized knowledge and extensive experience in the topic matter is required to confidently pursue a conclusion.

The time involved with commercial litigation can be unique as well. Several of the phases during the commercial litigation process can continue for longer periods of time than most civil actions. To avoid even further delays, you should work with a lawyer that truly understands all the inner workings of commercial litigation, like the team members you can find at Murray & Murray.

Should You Use an Alternative Dispute Resolution?

Arbitration and mediation are often preferred to end a commercial conflict between two businesses. Sometimes it is simply the best way to assert and resolve contractual or legal requirement issues either domestically — on both the state and federal levels — or internationally between businesses.

The key to a successful alternative dispute resolution is knowing when it is the most appropriate, though. Avoiding litigation is not always guaranteed to be better for your company. Our Sandusky commercial litigation attorneys can assess your case and help you decide if you want to push for litigation or consider negotiation. In either situation, we will be more than ready to assist and represent your business. Above all, our commercial litigators are here to develop a comprehensive litigation strategy that aligns with your specific legal and business objectives, all while striving to achieve the best possible result at a reasonable cost.
