Frequently Asked Questions On Business Litigation
Business disputes are complex and time-consuming, whether they involve contractual disagreements, partnership conflicts or shareholder disputes. Below are answers to common questions about resolving business disputes that we have encountered.
How long does it typically take to resolve a business dispute in court?
The length of time to resolve a business dispute in court depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the case
- The court’s schedule
- The willingness of the parties to settle
Simple disputes involving straightforward contract breaches or minor financial disagreements may be resolved in a matter of months, especially if the parties are open to settlement negotiations.
More complex cases, such as fraud allegations, breach of fiduciary duties or disputes over substantial financial assets, can take years to fully litigate.
What should I do if I am facing a partnership or shareholder dispute with my business partners?
If you are involved in a partnership or shareholder dispute:
- Review any governing documents, such as a partnership agreement, shareholder agreement or operating agreement. These documents outline the rights and responsibilities of each party, as well as dispute resolution mechanisms like buyout provisions, mediation requirements or voting procedures for major decisions.
- Be open and have honest communication with your business partners. Many disputes arise due to misunderstandings, differing business visions or financial concerns. Direct discussions may resolve conflicts without escalating into legal battles. If informal discussions do not lead to a resolution, involving a neutral third party, such as a mediator or business adviser, can help facilitate negotiations.
Consulting with a business attorney early in the process can help you assess your rights and options.
Are there alternative methods for resolving business disputes besides going to court?
Yes, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation and arbitration, can be effective in resolving business disputes without litigation.
Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating negotiations between the parties to reach a mutually agreeable solution, while arbitration is a more formal process where a third-party arbitrator makes a binding decision.
These methods can often save time and costs compared to traditional litigation.
