These cases may include breach of contract claims, shareholder conflicts, fraud, intellectual property disputes, and regulatory compliance issues. Securing experienced legal representation is essential to protecting financial interests and ensuring compliance with applicable laws when litigation arises.

At The Law Offices of Robert Eckard & Associates, P.A., we provide dynamic and cost-effective legal advocacy for businesses in Florida and Texas. Our firm is committed to delivering strategic solutions that help clients resolve disputes efficiently while minimizing legal risks.

Common Business Litigation Cases We Handle

Our firm represents clients in various business litigation matters, protecting their legal rights and financial interests. Some of the most common business disputes we handle include:

Breach of Contract Disputes

Contracts form the foundation of business relationships, and when a party fails to fulfill its obligations, legal action may be necessary. We assist clients in enforcing contract terms, resolving breach claims, and negotiating settlements. Our firm’s Palm Harbor business contract dispute attorney can help protect your business interests.

Partnership and Shareholder Disputes

Internal conflicts between business partners or shareholders can disrupt operations and threaten profitability. These disputes often involve issues related to profit distribution, decision-making authority, or fiduciary duties. Our attorneys work to resolve these matters effectively while protecting our clients’ ownership rights.

Business Fraud and Misrepresentation

Fraud can have serious financial and legal consequences. Whether involving falsified financial records, embezzlement, or deceptive business practices, we aggressively pursue legal remedies to recover losses and hold responsible parties accountable. Our team’s Palm Harbor business dispute attorney can assist in fraud-related litigation.

Employment and Non-Compete Disputes

Businesses often face legal challenges related to wrongful termination, discrimination claims, or violations of non-compete agreements. Our firm advises employers on compliance with labor laws and represents clients in disputes threatening their business operations.

Intellectual Property and Trade Secret Litigation

Protecting proprietary information is critical to maintaining a competitive advantage. We help clients enforce trademark, patent, and trade secret protections while defending against infringement claims.

Our Approach to Business Litigation

Our firm follows a structured approach to business litigation, focusing on efficient case resolution and protecting our client’s financial interests:

  • Case Evaluation and Strategy – We analyze each case, review contracts, and determine the best course of action through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  • Filing a Lawsuit – If a resolution cannot be reached, we take decisive legal action by filing a complaint and representing clients in court.
  • Discovery and Evidence Gathering – Our team compiles key evidence, including financial records, contracts, and witness statements, to build a strong case.
  • Settlement or Trial Representation – Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, but when necessary, we aggressively litigate to secure the best possible outcome.

Our Testimonials

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!
