Spartanburg Business Litigation Attorneys

At some point in a business’s life, it will inevitably encounter hurdles to operations, disagreements with interested parties, and disputes amongst shareholders, partners, other businesses, consumers, and other parties. While this is a normal part of business operations and an often unavoidable part of doing business, failing to protect a business by retaining experienced legal counsel is short-sighted. At the law office of Nowell Law Firm, our South Carolina business litigation attorneys provide knowledgeable legal representation and advice to our clients.

Common Business Disputes and Methods of Dispute Resolution 

There are numerous types of disputes that your business may encounter throughout the course of its normal operations. Common types of disputes and areas of conflict include:

• Breach of contract/contract disputes;
• Shareholder disputes;
• Breach of fiduciary duty cases;
• Partnership disputes;
• Supplier disputes;
• Consumer disputes and business torts;
• Intellectual property disputes;
• Fraudulent misrepresentation disputes;
• Breach of warranty claims;
• Antitrust cases;
• Insurance disputes;
• Commercial real estate and land use disputes;
• Securities disputes;
• Employee and labor disputes;
• Mergers and acquisitions; and
• More.

Best practices for managing these disputes begin with having sound legal and operational practices in place from the get-go, thereby reducing the risk of a dispute arising in the first place. If a dispute does develop, our lawyers are well-versed in dispute resolution methods, including:

• The first option for dispute resolution that we typically recommend is that of mediation. Mediation is the most cost-effective dispute resolution option, as well as an option that can be extremely effective and collaborative for involved parties. Through mediation, parties involved in the dispute will work toward an agreement about how the dispute should be settled. If a voluntary agreement is reached through mediation, this keeps the case out of court.

• If mediation is unsuccessful, the next best option may be arbitration. Arbitration is a private process where a dispute is settled by an official arbitrator after both parties present their case. Arbitration can be binding or non-binding. While less collaborative than mediation, arbitration is still more cost-effective and less time-consuming than litigation.

• If mediation and arbitration are not workable options for tackling your business dispute, business litigation may be the only viable course of action. Our business litigation lawyers have years of experience in and out of the courtroom and are confident in our ability to build your case and effectively represent your interests in court.

Our Priorities During a Business Litigation Case: Why Choose the Nowell Law Firm? 

Our lawyers believe in providing high-quality, reliable services to our clients and partners in South Carolina.

Our lawyers are experienced, skilled, knowledgeable, punctual, available, and dedicated to our clients. As we manage your business litigation case, we will do so with the following priorities in mind:

• A case outcome that aligns with your best interests. Our number one priority when working on your business litigation case is a case outcome that puts your best interests first. We work with you one-on-one to identify your best interests, as the desired case outcome can vary from business to business (i.e. some businesses are more concerned about costs, others about spent resources, others about reputation, others about persevering business relations, etc.).

• Cost-effectiveness. Our second priority is resolving your business dispute in the manner that is most cost-effective for your business. Again, this typically means avoiding business litigation and reaching a settlement through a form of alternative dispute resolution. However, we will never compromise your best interests for the sake of cost-effectiveness.

• Finally, we know that business disputes and litigation are not only economically costly for your business, but time-intensive, too. Our goal is to resolve your dispute quickly and efficiently so that your business can get back to focusing on the work it’s passionate about.

Avoiding Business Disputes and Litigation – How We Can Help 

We believe that the best business practices are those that prioritize avoiding business disputes and litigation with the implementation of sound policies and procedures. Not only can our business lawyers represent you in dispute resolution and litigation, but also in the establishment of policies and contracts that are sound and preventative.

Don’t Risk it All – Choose a Skilled Business Litigation Lawyer 

A business has a lot to lose: profits, employees, productivity, and reputation are all on the line when a business is named in a dispute or has a dispute with another party. Failing to work with a lawyer who is well-versed in the range of business disputes and who has experience working on cases like yours could be costly to your business. The best way to protect your business’s interests, and perhaps even your personal reputation and financial interests in many cases, is to choose a skilled business litigation lawyer with strong standing amongst peers and past clients.
