Litigation Lawyers in Burbank

In Burbank, California, commercial litigation is any civil litigation that contains a business transaction. Commercial litigation can come up in practically any business context.

Commercial litigation in Burbank, California, can get extremely expensive, very quickly. Furthermore, it can also be incredibly intricate. It often involves two sophisticated business entities, but it can also arise between two ordinary individuals who never would have imagined that they'd get caught up in commercial litigation in Burbank, California.

Common Sources of Commercial Litigation in Burbank, California

Commercial Leases: Most individuals who have businesses in Burbank, California need a physical location from which to run their operation. Often, the business owner has to rent some office or commercial space from somebody who owns a building or plot of land. The terms of these rentals are put in writing in commercial leases. Like any contract, when one party violates one of the terms of the lease, such as by failing to pay rent, commercial litigation might be used, as a last resort, to resolve the disagreement.

Sales of Real Estate: When buying a house or a plot of land in Burbank, California, there are various things that can go wrong, which can lead to commercial litigation. Whether there is a defect in the seller's title, a physical defect on the property that the seller did not disclose, or the buyer fails to make timely payment, a disagreement, which might lead to commercial litigation, is possible.

Sale of Goods: In Burbank, California, the sale and purchase of personal property is also a frequent source of commercial litigation. Just like any business transaction, things can go wrong in the sale of goods. For instance, the seller might deliver the wrong goods to the buyer, or deliver them late. Likewise, the buyer might fail to pay for the goods at the agreed time. Most of the time, business people are able to resolve these disputes without resorting to commercial litigation. In rare cases, however, they have to take their disagreement to court, and settle it that way.

Business Loans: In Burbank, California, it's typical for new businesses to require a loan from a bank to get started. This can, sometimes, lead to disputes between the borrower and lender. For instance, the borrower might habitually fail to make payments on time. This will lead to the lender trying to collect, and possibly resorting to commercial litigation.

Breach of Contract: When an individual or business in Burbank, California, agrees to exchange something of value for something else of value (such as a product in exchange for money), they have entered into a binding agreement called a "contract." This means that each party can use the law to compel the other party to execute their commitments under the terms of the contract. If someone fails to perform under the agreement, commercial litigation is one avenue to resolve the resulting dispute.

How Can a Burbank, California Commercial Litigation Lawyer Help?

If you are operating a business in Burbank, California, it's likely pretty clear that commercial litigation can arise from almost any business deal, and that a dispute leading to litigation rarely comes at a proper moment. So, it's necessary to be prepared for any reasonably likely commercial litigation scenario.

On that front, the single best thing you can do is, by far, to seek the advice of an accomplished Burbank, California commercial litigation attorney.
