Business disputes are inevitable. When they arise, you need an advocate who understands both the law and the stakes. We represent businesses and individuals in a wide range of commercial disputes – working to resolve matters efficiently and in surgical fashion while protecting your bottom line.
Contract Disputes
Contracts are the foundation and essence of every business relationship. When a party fails to honor its obligations, the consequences can range from financial loss to serious disruption of a company’s operations. We represent businesses and individuals in a broad range of contract disputes – including breach of contract claims, fraud, misrepresentation, disputes over contract interpretation, failure to perform, and disagreements over payment terms.
Whether you are seeking to enforce an agreement or defending against a claim, Lazzaro Law works to understand the entire scope of your situation and pursue the most effective path forward. Our goal is to zealously protect your rights and achieve a resolution that serves your best interests – in or out of the courtroom.
Partnership Disputes
Disagreements among business partners can threaten the future of a company and strain relationships that took years to solidify. We represent partners, shareholders, and members in disputes involving breaches of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of business assets, improper distributions, self-dealing, and forced buyouts. We also handle disputes arising from deadlock between equal owners and disagreements over the direction or management of a business. Whether via negotiation, litigation, or alternate dispute resolution, we strenuously work to address partnership disputes as proficiently as possible to protect your investment.
Tortious Interference
When a third party wrongfully disrupts your business relationships or contracts, the consequences can be significant – resulting in lost revenue, damaged relationships, and missed opportunities. We represent clients in tortious interference claims, helping businesses seek relief when a competitor or other party has unlawfully interfered with an existing contract or a prospective business opportunity. Whether you are pursuing a claim or defending against one, Lazzaro Law works to hold the responsible party accountable and help you recover every single loss incurred.
Defamation
False statements can cause irreparable harm to your business reputation, client relationships, and bottom line. We represent businesses and individuals in commercial defamation claims involving damaging statements made in print, online, or through other media. Whether a false statement has harmed your company’s standing in the marketplace or damaged key business relationships, we vigorously work to protect your reputation and pursue all appropriate avenues for relief – whether you are bringing a claim or defending against one.
Commercial Litigation Considerations
Commercial litigation cases typically mirror other types of civil actions in terms of stages of a case. Due to the complexity of many commercial litigation cases, however, these disputes tend to last longer.
When a client hires Lazzaro Law, our office conducts thorough research to learn as much as possible about your business, the opposing party, and the subject matter at hand. No stone is left unturned. We perform this background work to optimize our strategy from the outset – purely inuring to the benefit of the client.
Ironically, it is never a given that ongoing litigation is necessary, even in seemingly the most heavily contested of commercial matters. Indeed, even with a lawsuit being filed, there is no guarantee that the parties will see one another in a courtroom. In fact, most seasoned, pragmatic commercial litigation attorneys are steadfast in their commitment to resolving disputes with minimal judicial intervention.
Should an expedited resolution prove infeasible, however, a litigant must have a lawyer who fully comprehends not only the legal issues and anticipated responses from the adversary, but the most pragmatic method in achieving the most satisfactory result possible for the client. While no outcome can be guaranteed, the work put in at each and every stage of any given matter gives our clients as much peace of mind as practicable during the pendency of a case.
What Sets Lazzaro Law Apart?
Rather than simply implementing the same strategy for every legal matter we encounter, Lazzaro Law tailors its strategies and solutions to the unique needs of each specific scenario presented.
Specifically, from the outset, our office goes through the circumstances of a case with extreme diligence coupled with due sensitivity to the anticipated influencing factors – e.g., preliminary strength of the evidence, jurisdictional considerations, and an adversarial party’s collectability, among others. Understanding the entire matter from a holistic point of view – while leveraging all available advantages for its clients – is a hallmark of representation by Lazzaro Law.
