subject: How To Hire A Commercial Litigation Attorney [print this page] Commercial litigation cases are complicated business matters in involving both federal and state laws, and may include criminal and civil disputes. Such matters are handled by commercial litigation attorneys who specialize in resolving business disputes and providing legal advice to companies. Many business law attorneys are in-house counsel, meaning they work solely for the company to handle a variety of legal matters for the organization. Others, however, are outside attorneys who handle business matters on a case-by-case basis.
Many companies are unsure whether they should hire an outside attorney or a corporate lawyer to represent their company. The best answer is that it depends on your company's needs. An outsider can be more expensive, and he or she will be handling other cases - and will not be able to devote 100% of his or her time to your business matters. If your company wants an attorney to handle all matters that arise quickly, hiring a corporate attorney to represent only your business may be the best route. It will save money, and the attorney will always be available if the need arises. The cost of litigation is an expense inherent to doing business in today's marketplace. But keeping legal expenses to a minimum is the primary concern of any company.
There are myriad types of matters handled by commercial litigation attorneys, including:
Business Disputes
Business Fraud
Breach of Contract
Broker Commission Disputes
Class Action Defense
Commercial Real Estate Disputes
Consumer Fraud Defense
Employment Contract Disputes
Franchise Disputes
Shareholder Litigation
Tort Litigation Defense

Many questions must be answered, such as: Has the attorney successfully handled business litigation cases before? What is the attorney's success rate and track record?
