Litigation Lawyers in Anderson

Commercial Litigation in Anderson, Indiana is civil litigation that arises out of a business transaction, or some other disagreement between two businesses, or between a business and a customer. It can appear out of nowhere, and arise out of almost any business issue.

Commercial litigation in Anderson, Indiana is often very intricate and expensive, and while it often involves two businesses in a legal dispute, it can also come up between ordinary individuals, who never thought they'd get involved in Anderson, Indiana commercial litigation.

Common Sources of Commercial Litigation in Anderson, Indiana

Commercial Leases: Even though more businesses than ever are relying on the internet to sell their goods, the majority of small businesses in Anderson, Indiana still have to operate from a physical location. The space from which most businesses operate is normally rented, and the terms of the rental agreement are documented in a contract called a commercial lease. These contracts, like any other, are sometimes breached. When, for example, the tenant fails to pay rent on time, or the landlord fails to perform required building maintenance, a disagreement might arise, leading to commercial litigation.

Sales of Real Estate: When buying real estate in Anderson, Indiana, a lot of things can go wrong, possibly making commercial litigation crucial. In these cases, things like title defects (when the seller doesn't really own the land or house that they're selling), physical defects in the property that weren't disclosed to the buyer, or a buyer's failure to tender payment on time, among other things, can all lead to commercial litigation.

Sale of Goods: The sale or purchase of personal property is another frequent source of commercial litigation in Anderson, Indiana. For instance, 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 disagreement 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 Anderson, Indiana, one of the initial steps is normally to take out a loan from a bank. However, this is an intricate 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 an Anderson, Indiana business agrees to provide something of value (a product or service) in exchange for something else of value (normally money), a contract is formed. A contract, put simply, is any agreement that the law will enforce. Contracts can be very simple, or incredibly complicated. In either case, if one party fails to perform under the terms of the contract, commercial litigation is one way to resolve the ensuing dispute.
