Multi-Party Commercial Disputes
October 15, 2022
Multi-party litigation is messy and can damage multiple companies under its weight. In a multi-party commercial dispute, you have options.
The prudent option is mediation, which can create dangerous situations if one or more parties don’t want a mediated solution. A Tampa business litigation attorney can help you with the complexities of commercial disputes.
A multi-party commercial dispute is a matter where multiple parties have a legal claim against each other. It can happen when one or more claimants try to hold multiple respondents liable. The claimants and the respondents may all have diverging interests.
In a multi-party dispute, it’s critical to have a good-faith commitment to the process from the beginning from all parties. Suppose one party doesn’t want to commit to a mediated path. In that case, the litigation can be ruinously expensive and messy to all parties, including a class-action lawsuit. In such cases, a business litigation attorney in Florida can help you resolve these issues.
Mediation is a way to avoid messy and expensive multi-party litigation. A mediated solution can preserve your corporate relationships while avoiding messy questions of liability between three or more parties.
