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.
Common Florida Business Litigation Cases
November 17, 2023
Businesses, regardless of size or industry, can find themselves entangled in legal disputes. Business litigation encompasses a myriad of legal disputes faced by companies. In Florida, these cases can range from simple contract disputes to complex federal matters. It’s essential to have business litigation lawyers in Tampa, FL, who understand the nuances of business litigation cases.
Contract Disputes
One of the most prevalent issues in Florida business litigation is contract disputes. These disagreements arise when one or more parties involved in a business contract interpret terms differently or allege a breach of contract. Examples of breach of contract cases include:
● Failure to pay for goods or services
● Failure to deliver goods or services on time or as agreed upon
● Breach of non-compete or confidentiality agreements
Employment Law Issues
Employment-related litigation, including disputes over non-compete clauses, wrongful termination, and discrimination claims, frequently confronts businesses. A proficient business litigation lawyer is vital in these situations to ensure compliance with state and federal employment laws while safeguarding the business’s rights and reputation.
Intellectual Property Disputes
In today’s digital age, protecting intellectual property (IP) – such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, to protect their inventions, brands, and creative works – is more critical than ever. Florida businesses often face litigation over IP rights, including trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation.
Shareholder and Partnership Disagreements
Shareholders and partners in businesses often have disputes about the management and operation of the company. These disputes can lead to litigation, especially if the parties cannot reach an agreement on their own. Examples of shareholder and partnership disputes include:
● Disputes over the distribution of profits
● Allegations of mismanagement or fraud
● Deadlock situations where the parties cannot agree on how to move forward
