Litigation Lawyers in Plantation

In Plantation, Florida, commercial litigation is any civil litigation that involves a business transaction. Commercial litigation can come up in virtually any business context.

In Plantation, Florida, litigation is complicated and expensive. While it can come up between sophisticated companies, it can just as easilyy involve people who would never guess that they'd one day be involved in a commercial litigation dispute in Plantation, Florida. It can arise from the most informal business transactions, such as a homeowner selling a piece of furniture to his neighbor.

Common Sources of Commercial Litigation in Plantation, Florida

Commercial Leases: Most businesses in Plantation, Florida operate from a single physical location, despite the rise of the Internet and e-commerce. These locations are often in rented space, which is usually more cost-effective than purchasing real estate just for the purpose of operating a business. These rental agreements are laid out in documents called "commercial leases." Like every other contract, these leases are sometimes broken. If the parties cannot resolve the ensuing dispute amongst themselves, they might have to resort to commercial litigation.

Sales of Real Estate: When buying a house or a plot of land in Plantation, Florida, there are many 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 dispute, which might lead to commercial litigation, is possible.

Sale of Goods: The sale or purchase of personal property is another common source of commercial litigation in Plantation, Florida. For example, a restaurant owner might order tomatoes from a supplier, and fail to pay for them. The owner might argue that the tomatoes were rotten and unusable when they arrived, and he therefore does not have to pay. Obviously, if the two parties can't resolve this dispute somehow, they will have 2 options: simply let it go, and likely never do business with one another again, or go to court, and resolve it through civil litigation.

Business Loans: When a business is started up in Plantation, Florida, one of the first steps is usually to take out a loan from a bank. However, this is a complex process, and there are many things that can go wrong. If the borrower fails to make the required payments, or the lender attempts to defraud the buyer, civil litigation is a strong possibility.

Breach of Contract: When a Plantation, Florida business agrees to provide something of value (a product or service) in exchange for something else of value (usually money), a contract is formed. A contract, put simply, is any agreement that the law will enforce. Contracts can be very simple, or incredibly complex. In either case, if one party fails to perform under the terms of the contract, commercial litigation is one way to resolve the ensuing disagreement.
