What Does a Business Litigation Lawyer Do

While we consider the circumstances of each case individually, our approach to business litigation generally follows a similar path:

• Case evaluation — looking at the details to advise the client on possible options
• Investigation — digging deeper to find out what happened, and determining an appropriate course of action
• Demand and negotiation — we approach the other side to demand a resolution, often in tandem with filing suit, giving them a chance to negotiate a settlement out of court.
• Litigating in court — if negotiations fail, we go to court to hold the other side accountable.

Between verdicts and out-of-court settlements, business litigation attorney, Mike McLachlan, has procured more than $100 million in recoveries for his clients. If you need expert legal representation in a business litigation case, call our offices today for an evaluation.
