Breach of Contract
Contracts and agreements are entered into daily. Therefore, it’s inescapable that breach of contract disputes will arise. Contracts should be well written to provide for remedies involving breach. When contract disputes arise, the provisions regarding breach prevail in terms of liability, mediation, arbitration, legal jurisdiction, etc. However, not all contract disputes can be easily cured.
Fraud
Disputes
Business fraud occurs through either deception or misrepresentation, through something claimed or omitted. Additionally, fraud can occur in various contexts such as business fraud, employee fraud, fraud in purchasing or sale of goods or services, and numerous other scenarios. Since fraud disputes can include aspects from various areas of law, businesses would require a vast amount of legal knowledge to protect against potential from fraud. However, attorneys with experience in handling overall business litigation disputes can help provide companies with custom proactive measures.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when the fiduciary acts in the interest of themselves, rather than the best interest of the employer or principal. A fiduciary’s actions must be free of conflicts of interest and self-dealing. As a fiduciary, you can’t use the principal for your own personal advantage.
Litigation often moves quickly and may include requests for immediate relief, such as temporary restraining orders, temporary or preliminary injunctions, expedited discovery, and other pre-judgment remedies. Businesses should obtain counsel with experience and understanding of the urgency and importance of such requests to mitigate.
