Commercial Litigation Matters We Handle

Our business litigation services encompass holding those accountable for the full range of fraudulent, wrongful, and negligent business practices, including:

• Accounting malpractice
• Commercial disparagement (trade libel)
• Fraud
• Government liability
• Lottery ticket fraud
• Class actions
• Intellectual property disputes

This does not represent the full range of business-related disputes our team at Beston International Law Firm, can handle. Instead, this is a small sample of those disputes where our experience and know-how as plaintiff’s attorneys can add significant value for clients.

Why Do You Need a Plaintiff’s Attorney for Your Business?

Simply put, your business needs the right plaintiff’s attorney when someone else’s wrongful conduct has caused harm. Law firms specializing in corporate representation tend to take a more defensive posture in representing their business clients. These attorneys focus on minimizing the risks to an enterprise and its assets, and rightly so.

However, when a deal or a business relationship goes bad, the defensive inclinations of corporate attorneys – including the litigators in their firms – do not always serve their clients’ best interests. Business disputes tend to be more chaotic and pose a stark contrast to the careful, methodical process of entering into a business transaction.

When you’re facing a business dispute, you need nimble, aggressive legal representation from trial lawyers who understand how to move quickly and protect commercially sensitive information – and who can appear in court on a moment’s notice. That is exactly kind of sophisticated business representation for which Beston International Law Firm, has no peer in the Southern California legal community.

Business Litigation FAQs

Should a Lawyer Handle Internal Corporate or Partnership Business Disputes?

We cannot offer legal advice here. But, in our experience, the sooner an enterprise or individual gets legal counsel involved in an internal dispute, the higher the chance of avoiding grievous harm.

What Damages Can Business Litigation Plaintiffs Recover?

The types and amount of compensation available to a plaintiff in business litigation, if any, can vary according to the facts of the individual situation.

The most common types of damages awarded in a business case are:

• Compensatory damages. The defendant pays the plaintiff money that covers any actual, provable loss. Ideally, that should leave the plaintiff in a similar financial position as if the loss had never occurred. Damages awarded could include what the plaintiff lost from income and profits.
• Reliance damages. When the loss is more difficult to define financially, reliance damages cover situations where the defendant failed to act on an obligation, or when the plaintiffs detrimentally relied on misrepresentations by the defendant.
• Restitution damages. These are sometimes awarded in breach of contract cases when a promised benefit is not delivered. The plaintiff receives compensation for the value of what the defendant received while waiting for the defendant to honor contracted promises.
• Liquidated damages. Contracts sometimes spell out what costs each party should pay if one or the other failed to honor the agreement. If liquidated damages do not indicate actual damages, the court may instead award a different and more accurate type of financial compensation.
• Punitive damages. Occasionally a plaintiff will recover punitive damages when a defendant has engaged in deliberate activity against the plaintiff to cause harm.

Do Business Litigation Matters Always Go to Trial?

No. In our experience, most business litigation matters reach resolution through negotiated settlements. That said, as any business leader knows, you need leverage going into high-stakes negotiations when your commercial survival is on the line. There is no greater leverage in a business dispute than to have commercially sophisticated legal counsel sitting at the negotiating table who can also credibly take a dispute to trial and arbitration—and win.

That’s particularly true when the other side chooses to go with litigators who have limited courtroom experience. Our track record of achieving large damage awards against big corporate defendants—including in personal injury matters—sends a clear and unmistakable signal: A plaintiff with Beston International Law Firm, on its side is prepared for trial.
