Law Offices Of Barbra Stern Commercial Litigation

Civil litigation is a lawsuit between individuals not involving criminal charges. Generally, during civil litigation, the parties are going to court to defend or enforce a legal right, and the party pressing a case is seeking to be compensated with either some specific performance or monetary damages. When one or more of these parties is a business entity like a corporation or a partnership, it is known as a commercial dispute. There are differences and similarities between traditional civil litigation matters and corporate litigation.

  • Both sides investigate the facts of the case
  • Attorneys on both sides research applicable law and engage in settlement negotiations
  • A lawsuit is filed by the Plaintiff
  • Both sides establish the facts of the case
  • They participate in motion practice
  • The parties go in front of a judge or jury to try the case
  • File post-trial motions and whatever is necessary, depending on the specific case

How Commercial Litigation Differs From Other Kinds Of Litigation

The main difference between commercial/corporate litigation and other kinds of litigation is the parties involved in the case. Since there are businesses involved in the litigation, the problems presented tend to be more specialized or complicated than with traditional civil litigation. A significant number of commercial litigation cases are filed on a federal level versus a state court, and some may involve multi-district or class action lawsuits, depending on how many parties there are. The commercial litigation process is typically more extensive than a non-commercial dispute, involving the use of industry and forensic experts.
