Are you searching for what to do if your business is sued by another company?  Business litigation in San Diego is quite time consuming, and it will take more than a year to ultimately bring any case before a San Diego or California Court.  Traditional law firms generate extensive fees in these cases, as almost everyone from the managing partner to supporting staff “bill the file” as they plow through a case.  The business clients of the Watkins Firm are looking for alternatives to expensive and time consuming litigation. You might be surprised by what you might learn from attorneys with more than 40 years of genuine, proven experience and a track record of success in these matters.

The Watkins Firm has served the San Diego and California business community for more than four decades.  Disputes may be an unfortunate but necessary part of any successful business experience.  However, business to business disputes do not have to be expensive, time-consuming legal brawls.

Resolving Business to Business Disputes and Lawsuits Quickly and Cost-Effectively

The Watkins Firm works to resolve business to business disputes and lawsuits quickly and cost-effectively.  We know exactly what to do if your business is sued by another company. However, we approach these disputes from a unique perspective – working diligently to resolve the issues while accomplishing our client’s goals and objectives for the matter at hand.

The first step is to work with your Watkins Firm business dispute attorney to quickly develop a thorough, well-documented chronology of events, as well as a mastery of any potential damages associated with the dispute.  These powerful tools provide the leverage to seek effective negotiations with opposing parties and their counsel.  You should be pleased to learn the Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of our business to business dispute cases through effective, leveraged negotiation.  This is the fastest and most cost-efficient path to resolving any business dispute while protecting our client’s interests.

When every aspect of the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations alone, a lawsuit is usually filed by one of the parties.  Our Courts are too backlogged with cases, and a “settlement conference” will be required before any case can move forward.  Business mediation and/or arbitration are proven and effective alternatives to the path to a trial.  Our proven track record of success across more than four decades of experience demonstrates we are fully prepared to go to trial to accomplish our client’s goal or objective, however this is rarely necessary.

Our clients value our commitment to protect their goals and objectives while seeking a complete resolution of the matter in a cost-efficient and timely manner.  Other parties in the dispute know that the Watkins Firm is fully prepared to take the matter through trial (and we win a lot more than not), and this makes them more amenable to reaching a reasonable settlement throughout the process.

Pro-Tip: “What happens when a business is sued by another business?  What should you do if your company is sued? Well, let’s take first things first.  How did you find out you were being sued? In business, you’re usually going to find out about a lawsuit either by being served or someone’s going to tell you. You’re going to find out in a multitude of ways, and that’s very important how you find out. Because when you find out there’s actually going to be a a time clock ticking away of action items you have to take in order to have that lawsuit go your way. The longer you wait, the worse it gets for you.

So you’re going to want to find out, and I’m going to want to know as your lawyer, how did you find out? Did someone who’s suing you tell you? Did somebody who’s a potential witness tell you? Did you get some kind of letter from a lawyer or law firm? Or did you get served with a process server? All those things have implications. So once you’ve gathered yourself, organized your thoughts and you know the facts and the dates, contact the Watkins Firm right away for a free, substantive consultation at 858-535-1511.

We will consult with you, talk to you and we’ll discuss first things first, such as how you know when you knew, and if you have or haven’t been served yet. We have everything on computer. We can find out if in fact you are being sued, by whom, and provide you with a copy of the complaint. So, when you legally obtain a copy of the complaint before they know you have it, you have a great advantage.  And we provide you with vital information right away before you even have to tell me the story. I’m going to give you information that you need.” – Dan Watkins, Founding Partner
