While its definition varies, most attorneys would agree that “business litigation” is a complex area of law which includes a variety of contractual and tort claims. Examples of such claims include but not limited to: breach of contract, fraud, tortious interference with contract, breach of fiduciary duty, infringement of intellectual property rights, and unfair competition. Often, when these types of business disputes arise, the parties are unable to resolve them through negotiation or arbitration proceedings. In these cases, business litigation can be used as a way to resolve the disputes.
