business partnersNo Tampa, Florida business owner ever expects to have a dispute with other businesses or anyone else, so when a situation does arise, it can be surprising and stressful. If you’re a business owner and you’re experiencing some type of dispute related to your company, then you’re likely trying to decide how to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. You may be better off opting to obtain the services of a Tampa business litigation attorney.

Common Business Disputes

Although the sky is the limit when it comes to types of business disputes, here is a list of the most common business disputes: 

  • Non-compete clause issues with employees
  • Business disputes with other businesses
  • Disputes with business partners
  • Issues involving breach of contract

Mediation and Conflict Resolution

Your Tampa business lawyers may decide that mediation and conflict resolution is the best way to help you resolve your business dispute. What is mediation and conflict resolution? Mediation is a structured process in which all parties involved in the dispute will meet in a room where your attorney acts as a mediator in order to help resolve the conflict.

What if Mediation Fails?

Things can sometimes become kind of heated during such meetings, which is why the attorney will likely have certain rules about who speaks first and that another person should not speak until it’s their turn, just like in court. If mediation is unable to effectively resolve the dispute, your attorney surely has a plan B and even a plan C available.

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
