Why Do You Need a Plaintiff’s Attorney for Your Business?

To simply understand, your business needs the right plaintiff’s attorney when someone else’s wrongful conduct has caused harm. Business Law Firms specializing in corporate representation are inclined to take a more defensive posture in representing their business clients. These attorneys focus on reducing the risks to an enterprise and its assets, and rightly so.

Nevertheless, when a deal or a business relationship goes sour, the defensive inclinations of corporate attorneys – including the litigators in their firms – do not always serve their clients’ best interests. Business disputes are inclined to be more disorderly and pose a stark contrast to the careful, methodical procedure of entering into a business arrangement.

When you’re undertaking a business dispute, you need nimble, aggressive legal representation from trial lawyers who understand how to move quickly and protect commercially sensitive information – and who can appear in court on a moment’s notice. Our sophisticated business attorneys can make the process transparent and easy for you. Call Law Mart today at (310) 894-6440.

The most common types of damages awarded in a business case are:

• Compensatory damages. The defendant compensates the plaintiff money that covers any actual, confirmable loss. In a perfect world, that should leave the plaintiff in a similar financial situation as if the loss had never happened. Damages awarded could include what the plaintiff lost from income and profits.
• Reliance damages. When the loss is more complex to define financially, reliance damages cover situations where the defendant failed to act on an obligation, or when the plaintiffs detrimentally relied on misrepresentations by the defendant.
• Restitution damages. These are frequently awarded in breach of contract cases when a promised benefit is not rendered. The plaintiff receives payments for the value of what the defendant received while waiting for the defendant to honor contracted promises.
• Liquidated damages. Contracts sometimes spell out what costs each party should pay if one or the other failed to honor the agreement. If liquidated damages do not indicate actual damages, the court may instead award a different and more accurate type of financial compensation.
• Punitive damages. Sometimes a plaintiff will recover punitive damages when a defendant has engaged in deliberate activity against the plaintiff to cause damages.

Do Business Litigation Matters Always Go to Trial?

No. Majority of business litigation cases reach resolution through negotiated settlements. Therefore, as any business leader understands, you need leverage going into high-stakes negotiations when your commercial survival is at stake. There is no greater grip in a business dispute than to have commercially experienced legal counsel sitting at the negotiating table who can also credibly take a dispute to trial and arbitration—and win.
