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.

I dealt with Drew on a business lawsuit and he did a hell of a job, being very thorough and winning the case for me. He also recommended me a very good thorough lawyer for a different lawsuit and I'm very pleased with everything that Drew has done not only in the one case but his referrals as well. Would definitely recommend and refer friends to him.

I cannot express enough the immediate efforts of Drew to solve the problem at hand was something you don't see often nowadays. Drew was able to completely prevent something from happening that would have changed the course of my life. If anyone wants a lawyer that makes you feel like you are his number 1 priority hire Drew!!!! Definitely recommending him to anyone that is in need of legal counsel.
