Common Sources of Commercial Litigation in Kansas City, Missouri

Commercial Leases: Most people who have businesses in Kansas City, Missouri 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 provisions of the lease, such as by failing to pay rent, commercial litigation might be used, as a last resort, to resolve the dispute.

Sales of Real Estate: If you're buying a house, office space, or a plot of land in Kansas City, Missouri, 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 actually 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: The sale of personal property can also lead to commercial litigation in Kansas City, Missouri. This most often comes up when a business is buying large volumes of products from a supplier, and the supplier fails to deliver them on time, or delivers the wrong goods, or the wrong quantity of goods. Typically, if the parties cannot resolve the problem between themselves, commercial litigation will result.

Business Loans: In Kansas City, Missouri, 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: When a business or individual in Kansas City, Missouri promises another entity to provide a product or service in exchange for something of value (almost always, but not necessarily, money), they have entered a legally-binding agreement called a "contract." Both parties are now required to perform their obligations, as laid out in the agreement, and if one party fails to do so, the other can use commercial litigation to seek redress for any losses suffered as a result of this breach.

How Can a Kansas City, Missouri Commercial Litigation Lawyer Help?

Business owners in Kansas City, Missouri 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.
