Types of Business Litigation Matters We Handle

Jameson Stone Law is adept at managing an array of business litigation matters. Our team of seasoned attorneys resolves breach of contract issues, aiding in collections. Each case is treated with the utmost professionalism, leveraging our extensive experience to seek the best possible outcome for our clients.

Breach of Contract

In breach of contract cases, our relentless pursuit of monetary compensation for clients is a hallmark. A breach can take many forms, from a failure to perform obligations on time to not adhering to the specific terms of the agreement. Whatever the nature of the breach, our team meticulously gathers evidence of non-compliance and damage suffered, ensuring a robust case for our clients.

Collections

We are also proficient in collections, aiding businesses in debt recovery. We recognize that unpaid debts can significantly hamper a business’s operations, and as such, we employ effective legal strategies to expedite the recovery process.

Recognizing the uniqueness of each business dispute, Jameson Stone Law tailors strategies accordingly. Our strategies span:

  • Negotiation
  • Mediation
  • Arbitration
  • Litigation (when necessary)

This comprehensive approach allows us to adapt to the evolving dynamics of each case, ensuring your business claims are safeguarded at all times.

Negotiation

Negotiation, in our view, forms the bedrock of dispute resolution. By facilitating direct or indirect communication between parties with opposing interests, many disputes can be resolved without escalating to more formal proceedings. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators, and their early involvement can deter exploitative behaviors, positioning our clients for more equitable outcomes.

Mediation

Cases needing a softer touch are handled through mediation and arbitration under our guidance. This alternative dispute resolution method can be particularly beneficial when the facts of the dispute are clear and agreed upon, enabling a focus on resolving the dispute rather than disputing the facts.

Arbitration

Aside from mediation, we also use arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution method. In arbitration, both parties agree on the choice of arbitrator, fostering a sense of impartiality and fairness. The proceedings and outcome remain confidential, providing our clients with the privacy they need.

Litigation

As disputes intensify and become contentious, we turn to litigation. Our team of business litigation attorneys leverages their extensive courtroom experience to represent our clients’ goals in commercial litigation matters, ensuring that their case is presented with the utmost professionalism and precision.
