Litigation Lawyers in Euclid

In Euclid, Ohio, commercial litigation is any legal dispute that involves some type of business transaction. Commercial litigation can be between two businesses, a business and an individual, or two individuals. It usually comes up when everyone involved least expects it, and it can arise from just about any situation.

In Euclid, Ohio, you should expect any form of commercial litigation to be expensive and perplexing. While large and sophisticated companies are well-equipped to deal with civil litigation, and are usually the ones facing it, civil litigation in Euclid, Ohio 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 Euclid, Ohio

Commercial Leases: Most individuals who have businesses in Euclid, Ohio 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: Whether you're buying a house, an office building, or a vacant lot in Euclid, Ohio, there are plenty of things that can go awry in the process. For instance, the seller might fail to disclose an easement on the property, or a physical defect, which you only discover after the sale is final. Or, if you're the seller, the buyer might fail to pay on time. Such mishaps are almost sure to cause a dispute, and if the parties cannot resolve it amongst themselves, commercial litigation might be the only choice.

Sale of Goods: In Euclid, Ohio, the sale and purchase of personal property is also a common 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 dispute to court, and settle it that way.

Business Loans: Usually, when a business gets started in Euclid, Ohio, it has to take out a loan from a financial institution. If the business fails to make timely payments on the loan, it's possible that litigation will result.

Breach of Contract: When an individual or business in Euclid, Ohio, 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 Euclid, Ohio Commercial Litigation Lawyer Help?

If you have a business in Euclid, Ohio, it should by now be obvious that there are many different situations from which commercial litigation can arise, and it rarely happens when it's expected. So, it's always smart to have a plan in place (and money or insurance set aside, if possible) to resolve a commercial litigation issue, should it arise.

On that front, the single best thing you can do is, by far, to seek the advice of an experienced Euclid, Ohio commercial litigation attorney.
