Frequently Asked Questions
If a lawsuit comes your way, a timely response is critical. Notify your business lawyer immediately, and be prepared to provide copies of all relevant documents including receipts, emails, text messages, contracts – the works. With good organization and a prompt response, you have the best chance to protect yourself while keeping your stress low and your business running smoothly.
Lawsuits should usually be a last resort after all attempts to negotiate or mediate have not resolved the dispute. But after you’ve tried earnestly to settle a problem with no success, a lawsuit can be the best way to protect your business interests and pursue fairness and justice.
Generally, each side pays their own legal fees, but there are exceptions. For example, your contract might include a clause that the loser pays the winner’s fees. Knowing this can affect whether or not you decide to pursue a lawsuit.
Don’t try to do it all, or be your own lawyer. Maintain your focus on high level operations by delegating more responsibilities to trusted team members. Provide your business lawyer with all relevant documents and information as quickly as possible, and respond to your lawyer’s correspondence promptly. Ask your lawyer about document retention rules. Then trust your lawyer to do what you pay them to do, so you can focus on running your business.
Many lawsuits can be prevented by working with your business lawyer to identify small issues before they become big problems. Regularly review and update contracts, maintain clear communication with partners and clients, and keep all your business documents organized and up-to-date: receipts, emails, contracts – the works. Thorough record-keeping, and proactively addressing potential issues with the help of a legal advisor, can significantly reduce the risk of litigation.
Business litigation can arise from a variety of issues, including contract disputes, partnership disagreements, employment issues, intellectual property infringement, and breaches of fiduciary duty. Identifying and addressing these potential areas of conflict early on can help prevent legal disputes.
ADR methods, such as mediation and arbitration, offer alternatives to traditional court litigation. Mediation involves a neutral third party helping both sides reach a mutual agreement, while arbitration involves a neutral third party making a binding decision. These methods can be faster and less costly than going to court.
Bring all relevant documents, such as contracts, correspondence, financial records, and any other evidence related to the dispute. Be ready to discuss the details of the conflict, your objectives, and any previous attempts at resolution.
Delegate daily business responsibilities to trusted team members, maintain open communication with your lawyer, and stay focused on your core business activities. Effective legal representation and a clear strategy can help minimize disruptions and allow you to continue running your business smoothly.
