Business Disputes & Commercial Litigation

The Sher Law Firm provides experienced representation to people involved in business, partnership and commercial disputes. The foundation of our strong reputation for success is built upon preparing every case for trial together with hard work and our ability to act aggressively to find the most beneficial resolutions. We have the determination to effectively protect your business interests regardless whether your case is the most traditional breach of contract or the most complex intellectual property dispute.

AV Preeminent* lawyer Andrew Sher takes a practical, flexible, and highly personalized approach to each business litigation problem our firm handles. Our negotiation, trial preparation and courtroom strategies will not only reflect the challenges presented by the case before us, but also the continuing objectives and broader interests of the clients we represent.

Taking the Initiative to Expand Your Options for Success

We look for ways to seize tactical advantages to maintain the case on a fast track toward a favorable resolution. In some instances, this means developing a counterclaim against the party who initiated the original action against our client. In other cases, our investigation of the applicable commercial or professional insurance coverage will lead the way to a positive result.

We also recognize that few businesspeople look forward to a protracted courtroom battle and often prefer the prompt resolution of disputes through negotiation or mediation. In our experience, the best settlements are based on the solid leverage developed through careful trial preparation; we make sure your interests are fully covered and protected whether or not your case ever reaches the courtroom.

Examples of our commercial and business litigation practice include:

• Contract actions involving customers, vendors, licensees, or others who have failed to honor the commitments of a business agreement, or who have alleged breach of a contract against our client
• Commercial loan problems, including inventory financing disputes, foreclosure of business mortgages, problems with the recovery or liquidation of collateral, or bad-faith practices on the part of a lender
• Problems related to the purchase or sale of a business
• Real estate litigation related to purchase and sale transactions or commercial leases
• Business torts such as misrepresentation, nondisclosure, fraud, or violation of restrictive covenants
• Insurance coverage issues related to first-party casualty losses or third-party liability claims
• Disputes between shareholders, partners, or investor factions in closely held corporations or other business entities
• Environmental or toxic tort litigation
• Eminent domain proceedings involving business property or affecting the vitality of a business

While concentrating on resolving your commercial or corporate legal problem, The Sher Law Firm, PLLC, also works to minimize the impact of the litigation on your daily business operations. We work toward the prompt, efficient and complete resolution of every case we handle.
