Strategic Litigation Support to Protect Business Interests

Litigating disputes in court may sometimes be seen as a last resort, and in many cases, the parties involved in disputes may prefer to negotiate settlements. However, when negotiations fail, courtroom advocacy may be necessary. Our lawyers work with business owners, executives, shareholders, and partners to assess the risks and benefits of litigation, develop legal strategies aligned with our clients' business objectives, and advocate for favorable outcomes.

Common Types of Legal Disputes That May Lead to Business Litigation

Business litigation may be used to address a wide range of legal issues that can arise in the course of operating a company. Some of the most frequent types of disputes that our attorneys help our clients address include:

  • Breach of Fiduciary Duty: When officers, directors, or partners place their personal interests ahead of their duties to a business, legal action may be necessary to recover losses or prevent further misconduct. Claims may involve the misappropriation of funds, self-dealing, failure to disclose material information, or other breaches of the duties that apply to stakeholders.
  • Breach of Contract: Disputes over service agreements, vendor contracts, employment contracts, or other legal agreements may lead to litigation when a party needs to enforce the terms of a contract or address damages caused by another party's breach. Our lawyers will carefully review contractual language and the underlying facts of a case to build strong claims or defenses.
  • Business Divorce: When business partners can no longer work together effectively, one partner may take steps to leave the business, or they may try to dissolve the business altogether. These cases may involve disputes over the division of assets, the valuation of the business, and ownership interests. Our attorneys can help clients resolve these conflicts through litigation or negotiated settlements.
  • Non-Compete Agreements and Restrictive Covenants: Enforcing non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements requires an understanding of the applicable laws. Our lawyers work to protect the interests of our clients in these disputes.
  • Theft or Misuse of Trade Secrets: Misappropriation of confidential business information can cause serious harm due to unfair competition. Our attorneys help businesses protect their intellectual property under the Maryland Uniform Trade Secrets Act and related federal laws.
  • Defamation: False statements that damage a business's reputation may lead to defamation claims. Our lawyers can address issues related to slander, libel, and malicious interference with business prospects.
  • Business Conspiracy: Allegations that multiple parties coordinated to harm a business through fraud, contractual interference, or unlawful competition may be grounds for civil conspiracy claims under Maryland law.
  • Business Fraud: Fraudulent misrepresentations in the context of investments, contracts, or partnerships may justify legal action. Our attorneys will conduct thorough investigations to establish fraudulent conduct and recover losses caused by fraud.
  • Tortious Interference: When a third party intentionally disrupts a contractual or business relationship, litigation may be required to protect existing agreements and recover economic damages.

Injunctive Relief in Business Litigation

In many business litigation matters, time is of the essence. Waiting for a final judgment may not be feasible when a business faces immediate harm. In situations where immediate action is needed, our lawyers can pursue injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders (TROs) and preliminary injunctions, to prevent further damage while the case proceeds. These court orders may be used to:

  • Stop the misuse or disclosure of trade secrets
  • Prevent a former employee from violating a non-compete agreement
  • Halt the enforcement of a disputed contract
  • Maintain the status quo during a business divorce
  • Freeze assets or accounts to prevent financial losses

We will act quickly to gather evidence, present legal arguments, and seek emergency relief from the court as quickly as possible. Speed and accuracy are critical in these matters, and our attorneys can make sure the correct steps are taken to receive relief while preparing for a broader litigation strategy.

Addressing Litigation Challenges Beyond the Courtroom

Business litigation can impact a company's public image, employee morale, customer relationships, and vendor contracts. Our attorneys understand the ripple effects that litigation can cause, and we provide comprehensive support to help clients manage the broader consequences of these matters. We can help address:

  • Reputation Management: Public filings and litigation can attract unwanted attention. Our lawyers work with clients to minimize public exposure and maintain the integrity of the company's brand.
  • Preservation of Business Relationships: Litigation between partners, shareholders, or joint venture members can affect future collaboration. We can provide guidance on litigation strategies that may allow for eventual reconciliation or respectful disengagement.
  • Confidentiality and Trade Secret Protection: Our attorneys can help clients implement measures to preserve confidentiality during litigation, including protective orders, sealed filings, and limited access to sensitive documents.
  • Business Continuity Planning: While litigation proceeds, a business must continue to operate. Our lawyers can help clients take steps to maintain operational stability and manage internal communications related to ongoing disputes.
  • Risk Management: In many cases, the best resolution to business litigation is a carefully negotiated settlement. Our attorneys are skilled at identifying leverage points and crafting agreements that will protect our client's core interests while avoiding prolonged court battles.
