If your business is involved in a lawsuit, whether you are being sued or making the choice of whether or not to sue someone else, our business litigators will give you sound advice and counsel through this very complex decision making process.

Curtis Legal Group's litigation attorneys are among the best in the business. Our thorough knowledge of the issues helps you make the right choices--from pursuing litigation, if that is in your best interests, to negotiating a settlement, or taking advantage of professional meditation and arbitration if you would be best served by trying to stay out of court.

Commercial litigation can be very expensive, including discovery, investigation, and all of the new rules of electronic discovery, as well as expert witness and court fees. Besides direct costs, litigation takes resources away from your company. We are practiced in limiting these hard and soft expenses for your business.

We handle every type of commercial litigation, including:

Breach of contract. In most cases, a court will attempt to put the damaged party in a contract action back in the position that party would have been in if the contract had been completed. This may include:

• monetary damages;
• specific performance, where the court orders a party to perform on the contract; or
• rescission, essentially canceling the contract altogether, and putting the parties back in the position they were in before the contract was executed.

Contract disputes. There are times when the parties want to go forward with an agreement, but there is some dispute over language. Our attorneys will work with both sides to make sure that their intentions are not frustrated by language difficulties.

Fraud and other Business Torts. There are numerous ways in which individuals can interfere with your business, and having the right attorney on your side can save you much time, money and grief. We can help you deal with people who have tried to interfere with your business through:

• fraud and misrepresentation;
• breaches of fiduciary duty;
• intentional interference with a contract;
• interference with a potential business advantage or business relationship;
• insurance company bad faith negotiation; and
• unfair competition.

Partnership disputes. There is nothing worse in a business than a falling out with a business partner. We will guide you through this very painful part of your life, making sure that the personal and business parts of this kind of unfortunate litigation remain separate.
