Your Business Needs a Good Relationship with a Commercial Litigation Lawyer

As soon as you start a business, you should develop a working relationship with an experienced commercial litigation attorney. Sometimes what seems like a very straightforward disagreement, such as a breach of terms of a contract, can actually be very complicated. Trying to find a good lawyer once you have a problem adds stress to an already difficult situation.

What if You Get a Letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission?

Getting a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) produces the kind of stress the individual experiences upon getting a letter from the IRS. It's important that your commercial litigation lawyer understands the latest information on how the SEC is handling investigations. This prevents unnecessary stress while allowing him or her to address their requests. When the SEC comes knocking, it's a good idea to go ahead and call your lawyer.

Is Your Franchisor Trying to Terminate Your Franchise?

Sometimes franchisors try to terminate franchise agreements illegally. There are very specific rules about when and how franchisors can terminate agreements, and if your franchisor tries to shut you down, you need to know if any of those rules have been violated. This is a job for your lawyer specializing in business litigation.

Are Your Products Labeled Properly?

Improperly labeled products - particularly food products - can trigger class action lawsuits and can tarnish a brand's reputation. Your commercial litigation lawyer can advise you on how to make sure your products are properly labeled and what to do if someone alleges that you have mislabeled products.

Confidentiality in Court Proceedings

Federal courts may enter into confidentiality orders in some cases, and state courts are starting to incorporate these practices as well. Such orders can be extremely important should a privileged document accidentally be released. Your trade secrets are among your most valuable business assets. Make sure your business litigation attorney understands fully the importance of protecting your intellectual assets if court proceedings become necessary. At Zarco Einhorn Salkowski & Brito, P.A. we have the experience necessary to protect your business and defend it if it is the target of litigation.
