Questions
What types of business litigation cases do you handle?
We handle all forms of commercial disputes including contract breaches, partnership conflicts, trade secret theft, business fraud, non-compete enforcement, and corporate governance issues across Texas industries.
How long does business litigation typically take?
Simple disputes resolve in 6-12 months while complex multi-party litigation typically takes 2-3 years, depending on court schedules and case complexity.
Can I recover attorney's fees in business litigation?
Texas follows the American Rule, but many contracts include fee-shifting provisions and certain claims like breach of contract allow fee recovery when specified by statute.
Should I try mediation before filing suit?
Mediation works well when both parties seek resolution, but we evaluate each case to determine if early mediation would be productive or delay necessary legal action.
What damages can I recover in business litigation?
Texas law allows recovery of actual damages, lost profits, consequential damages, and sometimes exemplary damages depending on the nature of the claim and evidence presented.
How are business disputes handled when parties are in different states?
Texas long-arm jurisdiction statutes often allow suits against out-of-state defendants doing business here, with potential coordination with out-of-state counsel when necessary.
