Business owner disputes, business divorces, and company dissolutions

If disputes between co-owners of a business aren’t resolved promptly, they can result in one party being bought out or forced out—or the business dissolving entirely.

Getting legal support early in the matter can help prevent worst-case scenarios and ensure your interests are securely represented.

Bet-the-business litigation

Bet-the-business litigation—a lawsuit that threatens to bankrupt your business—can be incredibly intimidating for business owners. Resolving these lawsuits requires the vision, knowledge, and skill to navigate multiple conflicting parties, often both within and outside of the company.

Breach of contract

Sustaining damages because of a breached contract works against a business’s best interests.

Business owners must act swiftly to ensure that they receive full financial compensation for damages—and the reverse is true if you’re on the receiving side of a lawsuit. It can be overwhelming, but the sooner you secure legal representation, the better.

At SMC ESQ PLLC, we have extensive experience in all elements of breach of contract disputes. We regularly review contracts, analyze for liability, and litigate disputes.

Fraud

No matter which side of a fraud dispute you’re on, it has the potential to harm your business’s reputation.

Our business litigation attorneys understand the importance of working swiftly and discreetly on these cases to provide you with vigorous legal support that preserves your business’s name and interests.

Violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act

Businesses accused of violating the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) can face extensive financial repercussions, including compensation for mental anguish.

Whether you’re facing accusations from another company or were misled by another business, we can help. As experienced business litigation lawyers, we have a strong understanding of how the DTPA in Texas can impact business litigation.

Specific performance

When a party breaches a contract, the business dispute may revolve around specific performance, which is the grounds to seek an equitable remedy rather than compensation for damages.

Our business litigation attorneys can work with you to achieve outcomes that support your business’s interests beyond straightforward financial compensation for a breached contract. Likewise, we also represent businesses facing lawsuits for specific performance, whether in commercial real estate transactions or other matters.

Temporary restraining orders & injunctions

Temporary restraining orders require swift action. Once a court orders a restraining order, parties can typically expect a hearing within 14 days to determine whether or not it should be turned into a temporary injunction.

At SMC ESQ PLLC, our business litigation attorneys have the knowledge and litigation experience to handle temporary restraining orders and injunctions. We’re well-equipped to help you quickly and successfully obtain them—or defend against them.

Trademark enforcement & defense

Intellectual property is an essential asset for any business. If your brand or reputation is under threat from trademark legal issues, our business attorneys are well-equipped to help you take decisive legal action and protect your business.

Alternative Dispute Resolution for Businesses

In certain business disputes, litigation may not be needed or may not serve your goals. Alternative dispute resolution methods can provide a less public approach to resolving disputes and a more personalized solution.

Mediation and arbitration also tend to be faster and less expensive than litigation.

If a business dispute goes to court, all parties must adhere to the judge’s decision. But in mediation and arbitration, the parties retain control of the decision-making process.

At SMC ESQ PLLC, our commercial litigation attorneys routinely provide support and legal guidance in business mediation. We draw on our extensive experience and creativity to find solutions that support your business interests and allow you to move forward.
