Litigation Lawyers in Saginaw

Commercial Litigation in Saginaw, Michigan is civil litigation that arises out of a business transaction, or some other conflict between two businesses, or between a business and a customer. It can appear out of nowhere, and arise out of almost any business matter.

In Saginaw, Michigan, you should expect any form of commercial litigation to be expensive and confusing. While large and sophisticated companies are well-equipped to deal with civil litigation, and are often the ones facing it, civil litigation in Saginaw, Michigan can also arise between those who are not nearly as accustomed to handling it, such as individuals and small businesses.

Common Sources of Commercial Litigation in Saginaw, Michigan

Commercial Leases: Despite the rise of the Internet, and e-commerce, most businesses in Saginaw, Michigan still need a physical location to operate. This space is typically rented from another party, under terms laid out in a commercial lease. These leases can lead to disputes, if one party breaks them, such as by failing to pay rent on time, failure to provide access to the property under the agreed-upon terms, etc.

Sales of Real Estate: If you're buying a house, office space, or a plot of land in Saginaw, Michigan, you're probably aware of the fact that something can go wrong at any stage of the process. Whether the seller's title is defective (they don't directly have the ownership interest that they claim to be conveying to you), or there's a physical defect on the property that wasn't disclosed, commercial litigation might be the only option to resolve the disputes that such problems are likely to create.

Sale of Goods: Buying and selling personal property is far more common than buying and selling real estate in Saginaw, Michigan. Consequently, it's also more common for commercial litigation to arise out of disputes concerning the sale or purchase of goods, as opposed to land. Some common problems that can come up in the sale of goods are a seller's failure to deliver the right product on time, or the buyer failing to pay the price that they agreed on. Most of the time, reasonable, professional people can settle these disagreements amongst themselves. However, in relatively rare cases, they have to resort to commercial litigation when a negotiated settlement is unrealistic.

Business Loans: In Saginaw, Michigan, it's common for new businesses to require a loan from a bank to get started. This can, occasionally, lead to disputes between the borrower and lender. For example, 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: Whenever a business in Saginaw, Michigan agrees to provide a product or service in exchange for something of value (typically money), a legally-binding agreement, called a "contract," is formed. If either party fails to perform their end of the bargain, they have breached the contract, and commercial litigation is a possible way to settle the conflict.

How Can a Saginaw, Michigan Commercial Litigation Lawyer Help?

Business owners in Saginaw, Michigan are probably aware of the fact that commercial litigation can always be just around the corner, and just about any business deal that goes bad can trigger it. It's advisable, therefore, to take some simple steps to prepare for possibly civil litigation, so it will only be minimally disruptive to your business, should it happen in the future.
