Commercial litigation is essentially when one business sues another business. These types of cases affect businesses of all sizes and can involve a variety of contractual issues such as breach of contract, fraud or unfair competition. Oftentimes, these cases can also result in employees suing their employer.

Bottom line, this is a complex area of law that requires both an understanding of the law and how businesses work. When disputes aren’t resolved through negotiations or arbitration, you need a civil attorney you can turn to with confidence for legal advice and insight as to how a case can affect you before, during and after litigation. The Mills Law Firm wants to be that trusted counsel.

We will work closely with you to ensure you understand the legal and business ramifications of your case, and we develop strategies — including careful cost-benefit analysis and public image considerations — that maximize your results for both the short and long term.
