Business Litigation Lawyers in Carmel, IN

Counseling Businesses in Indianapolis & Central Indiana

Business “litigation” is a catch-all term lawyers often use to describe disputes that arise between a business and its customers, vendors, competitors, employees, or even between its shareholders and owners. 

Importantly, litigation does not have to mean that a lawsuit has been filed in court or even that legal proceedings are imminent. A business owner’s preferred resolution often occurs outside the courtroom and the public eye of litigation.

Being a party to a business dispute means you need an aggressive business litigation attorney who can advocate for you, protect your rights, and effectively present your side of the story. At Roberts Means Roncevic Kapela LLC, our business lawyers in Carmel, Indianapolis, and Central Indiana represent individuals and businesses initiating or facing civil court business lawsuits.

Our Business Litigation Services

Many issues can arise in the course of a company’s life that can lead to the need for legal counsel to avoid escalation, to take actions to resolve the matter as effectively as possible, and to help prevent future disputes through appropriate policy changes. 

Business litigation issues can include but are not limited to:

• Contract disputes: These are disagreements over the terms or execution of a contract. This can involve many types of agreements, from employment agreements to sale contracts. If the parties involved cannot resolve the dispute outside of court, they may need to resort to litigation.
• Employment disputes: These disputes often arise over wrongful termination, discrimination, wage disputes, or workplace safety infringements. They can have far-reaching implications for both the business and the employees involved.
• Intellectual property disputes: Intellectual property (IP) disputes often involve copyright, trademark, or patent infringement allegations. In a business setting, these disputes can significantly impact a company's ability to operate competitively and protect its innovations.
• Shareholder disputes: Shareholder disputes can arise due to disagreements on business direction, shareholder rights, or the allocation of profits. These disputes can affect the overall management and operation of the company.
• Real estate disputes: These disputes may involve commercial property ownership, lease agreements, or zoning issues. In a business context, they can hinder a company's ability to operate or expand.
• Mergers and acquisitions disputes: Disagreements can arise during the merging or acquisition of companies, particularly if a conflict occurs over the value of the company being acquired or if the process is not executed correctly.
• Partnership or business owner disputes: These conflicts occur among business partners and can stem from various issues, including disagreements over profit sharing, business strategy, or roles and responsibilities. If left unresolved, partnership disputes can adversely impact daily operations and potentially lead to the dissolution of the business.
• Unfair business practices disputes: These activities involve unethical ways of gaining an advantage in a business scenario that is often detrimental to other businesses or consumers. Such practices can include false advertising, deceptive trade practices, and fraud. When such practices are alleged or suspected, litigation may be necessary to protect business interests or consumers. 
• Insurance claims disputes: These disputes occur when an insurance company denies a claim that a business feels is legitimate. The conflict could be over the value of the claim, the coverage of the insurance policy, or the liability of the business in the event leading to the claim. Pursuing litigation can sometimes be the only way for a business to obtain fair compensation from an insurance company.
• Collection disputes: These conflicts can arise when a business attempts to recover debts owed to it. The debtor may dispute the amount owed, the method of collection, or even the debt’s validity. The matter may escalate to litigation if negotiations and debt recovery attempts are unsuccessful. This process can involve the court, resulting in a law-enforced judgment to settle the debt.
