What is business litigation and why is it important to work with the effective efficient San Diego business litigation attorneys at the Watkins Firm?
What is Business Litigation?
Business litigation is a wide area of legal practice that encompasses all forms of disputes. Business litigation encompasses disagreements and lawsuits between companies, real estate disputes, contract or breach of contract cases, as well as substantial legal issues such as unfair competition and unfair business practices. The issue could involve the parties within a business such as you’ll find in disputes between employers and those who work for them, partners, owners or members of an LLC, or shareholders and investors.
If you are successful in business a dispute or lawsuit isn’t a matter of “if,” it’s a matter of when.
The key to a successful business litigation strategy most often lies in being able to get to the bottom of the issue(s) at hand and efficiently resolve them.

It should please you to learn that the Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of our business litigation cases through effective, leveraged negotiation. This is the fastest and least expensive path to accomplishing our client’s goals and objectives in any dispute.
If negotiations do not resolve all of the matters at hand the next step is usually the filing of a lawsuit, followed by mediation or a settlement conference with the Court. Business mediation is a private and confidential environment that is specifically designed to help the parties to find and implement a resolution to the dispute at hand. Mediation keeps your business and financial information out of the public record while facilitating common ground and ultimately a signed settlement agreement.
Most business contracts specify binding arbitration as an alternative to trial. Arbitration is a lot like a trial, but without all of the unnecessary bluster and maneuvers. The arbitrator is selected by the parties themselves and is an expert not only in the matter(s) at hand but the laws that relate to the dispute. The arbitrator has the authority and power to establish how the process of arbitration will be conducted and to marshal evidence and witness testimony. The ruling or award of the arbitrator is final, and can only be appealed in very rare instances involving fraud or collusion.
