Types of Commercial and Business Litigation

Commercial Litigation is an area of law that encompasses various business disputes that can arise with another business or a customer. In simpler terms, any legal issue confronting your business can be categorized as commercial or business litigation.

Consulting with an Arizona business attorney is the best way to assess how a particular legal issue can affect your business. The following are the most common commercial litigation cases you may experience in Tempe, AZ.

Breach of Contract

Having clearly outlined written agreements does not guarantee a business will not encounter contract disputes. Breach of contract occurs when one party:

Goes against the agreed terms
Erroneously interferes with a contract
Prevents the other party from receiving the agreed benefit

The above situations may harm the business and cause significant revenue loss. You need an experienced Tempe business lawyer to help you defend or enforce your rights in court or during an arbitration hearing.

The Sorenson Law Firm will help you receive the desired outcome, whether it is canceling the contract and receiving restitution or compelling the other party to fulfill their obligation. We have effective legal strategies in place to represent you well.

Breach of Fiduciary Duty

As a business grows, the partners may have disputes about the direction the business should go or disagree on the interpretation of the governing document. As a result, one or more partners may:

Neglect their role
Steal from the company
Commit fraud
Engage in the conversion of partnership assets

In such instances, you need to act in the best interest of the company and the other partners. An Arizona business litigation attorney will help you manage the situation and prevent the partners from going against their fiduciary duties of care, good faith, and loyalty. Get in touch with us for practical legal assistance.

Payment Disputes

Payment disputes can arise with your supplier, vendor, customer, or borrower. Vendors or suppliers may cause harm to your business by:

Failing to deliver goods or services as specified
Delivering substandard goods or services
Failing to make payments

Your customers can also fail to pay for the goods and services, claiming the product or service did not meet their standard. In addition, borrowers can default on payments as agreed in the contract or promissory note. Speak to our experienced business litigation lawyer, who will help you collect all payments owed, whether in an alternative dispute resolution forum or court.

Class Actions

Class actions usually involve the business as defendants. These are cases where numerous plaintiffs claim to have been affected by the same wrongful action of the company. Common cases involve:

Employment practices
Product liability
Data breaches
Pollution

A class-action lawsuit does not automatically go to court because some individuals filed it. A judge must certify the class, which often fails to meet the standards. If someone files a class action against your business, Sorenson’s competent commercial litigation attorneys can help you fight the class certification and prevent the case from going to court.

  Let me start off by saying that if your looking for someone who is kind thoughtful professional down to earth easy to communicate  with & is very pro active in how they do business & is 100% invested in you & getting the best outcome for whatever your situation may be than I would recommend jonny & rowanna. This was my first time that I  needed to find a lawyer who could assist me with my situation. What stood out to me was at the end of our zoom meeting I remember saying to both jonny & rowann that I'm not interested in moving forward because I was more at fault than the lady who hit me so in my mind I'm thinking we'll this guy probably isn't going to want to take my case because it seemed like it would be an uphill battle, & he responded by letting  me know that he would like to take my case & see what he could do &  bottom line is that you"ll either have more than what you have now or you"ll be in the same situation.
So I thought about it for a minute & decided to trust them to see what happens. So from that day on all the way til the case was resolved I've had a great experience with them. Rowanna explained everything to me in a way that was not complicated  & always asked me that if had any questions or if I didn't understand she would ask. They are easy to talk with & made me feel like I was important & trying to get the best outcome for me. When my case was complete I was so grateful & appreciated for what they were able to do for me. Johnny & Rowanna are the best & will always have & want the best for you I know because they did that for me. Thanks again  CHRISTOPHER

  I worked with The Sorenson Law firm for about 5 months resolving a personal injury claim that occurred during a car accident I was in and I couldn't have been more happy with results. The firm was always responsive, quick to answer any questions I had and I could tell they had my best interest in mind. I would recommend The Sorenson Law Firm to anyone that needs a personal injury lawyer, they're great!

  I cannot recommend the Sorenson Law Firm enough. After an accident, I was in a situation where I knew very little about my options. I reached out to my community for advice and Johnny’s wife was quick to put me in contact with him to get me some help. The insurance company we were dealing with was not the easiest, but Johnny and his team did a wonderful job at recovering my losses and fighting for me. Johnny and his team kept me well informed and educated throughout the process, which meant a lot as I was very naïve and knew very little going into this process. I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with this wonderful team, and if life ever throws another curve ball, I’ll be sure to use the Sorenson Law Firm again!!!

  Sorenson Law Firm made a tough situation less burdensome for me and my family. Going through the lost of a loved one and having to instill trust in people you don't know is hard. But Johnny Sorenson and his associates were very caring, professional, informative and timely when it came to our case. I would recommend The Sorenson Law Firm to anyone that needs lawyers that actually care about their clients and not just a paycheck. I'm writing this as a thank you to their company and to the team that worked on our case. Thank you!
