How Business Litigation Services Can Help Your Bottom Line
Tracy Roberts
Sometimes, a simple contract can turn into a nightmare. When you made the deal, you thought everything was in good order but then something happened and it is now costing you more money than you had anticipated. If you are having this type of problem, it is time to contact an attorney who performs business litigation services. Here are just a few situations that affect your bottom line that a lawyer can help with.
Breach of Contract
If the other party to a contract is not holding up their end of the deal, it could cost you a lot of money. This could be not providing you with the goods you ordered in a timely fashion, charging you hidden fees, or ignoring the deal completely. Working with a lawyer, you should not only be able to have the contract enforced as it was written, but also receive compensation for any money their breach cost you. If you lost a big sale because you did not receive the goods in time, you may be entitled to the full amount of the sale.
Franchising
When your business is a franchise from another business, you need to have complete disclosure of that business. You have the right to demand to see their financials and to be given any materials or equipment they provide for the franchisees. In addition, any advertising money you give them must go to help increase your location's business. When the franchisor is not doing everything it can to help your business, you should seek legal counsel. Sometimes, things get overlooked or there is a mistake. Having a lawyer bring it to their attention will ensure they get you what you need.
Competition
While you cannot stop someone from having a business similar to yours (they may even sell the same type of products,) there is such a thing as unfair competition. If someone else is using your name or brand, they need to stop. If someone has stolen your intellectual property, they need to stop. The best way to get them to stop is to have a lawyer write them a cease and desist order. If this does not work, the attorney will proceed with filing for a court order. Using your name or brand, or your actual products will take business away from you.
Quite often, as soon as a lawyer starts any type of business litigation the problem is resolved without the need to go to court. However, if it is not resolved, the attorney will already have the details and information needed to proceed. This will also save you time and money.
