New Jersey Business Disputes
Provided by our New Jersey Business Attorney, Mark S. Guralnick
If you are engaged in a dispute with your business partner, or with another business itself, you should speak with a qualified New Jersey business lawyer. It may be necessary to file an order to show cause or an emergency petition for injunctive relief in order to protect the assets of the business, or to prevent another business from infringing upon your rights.
If your case involves a dispute with a business partner, an employer or a business director, you may be entitled to damages or other relief based on a number of different legal theories. For example, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit based on a breach of fiduciary duties. You may have grounds to seek damages for usurpation of corporate opportunities. In fact, you may have a basis to sue for breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation, deceit, defamation, and disparagement as well as employment and labor law violations. It is important, if you are involved in a business dispute or a company breakup, to act quickly and effectively to protect the assets of the company and to ensure that nobody steals your clients or customer lists.
If you are in a dispute with another business entity, you may have rights under the Uniform Commercial Code, the antitrust laws or other commercial statutes and regulations. You may have grounds to seek damages based on a breach of contract, negligence, fraud, interference with business relationships and other legal grounds. It may be necessary for you to file a lawsuit to obtain a restraining order or other preliminary relief. Unless you are represented by a New Jersey business attorney who has experience in business disputes, and unless you gather the evidence and retain expert witnesses on a timely basis, you may suffer serious consequences in your business dispute.
