When should you hire a business litigation lawyer?

You should hire a business litigation lawyer when a dispute starts to put your money, control, or reputation at risk. That includes receiving a demand letter, lawsuit, or arbitration notice; being locked out of bank, email, or software accounts by a partner; seeing company funds misused or customers solicited away; or facing missed payments that threaten operations. You should also call a lawyer if you think a court order may be needed to stop ongoing harm, if key records need to be preserved, or if a contract clause about arbitration, venue, or attorneys’ fees could change your strategy. Early help protects leverage, keeps costs in check, and gives you clear options before problems escalate.

What damages can you recover in a business lawsuit?

You can usually seek direct damages for out-of-pocket losses, plus consequential damages for harms that were reasonably foreseeable. If you can prove them with reasonable certainty, lost profits may be recovered; if not, reliance damages can repay reasonable costs you incurred because of the deal.

 

Courts can also order restitution or disgorgement when the other side was unjustly enriched, and an enforceable liquidated damages clause may set the amount for certain breaches. Non-monetary relief like temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or specific performance can stop ongoing harm or require performance.

 

Attorneys’ fees and court costs may be available under your contract or a statute, and interest can be added before and after judgment. In cases of fraud or similarly egregious conduct, exemplary or punitive damages may be awarded within legal limits.

Why Choose Roquemore Skierski As Your Business Litigation Lawyer?

You deserve counsel who can operate as part of your leadership team, not just your courtroom representative. At Roquemore Skiersi, we serve as dedicated advisors across the full life cycle of a dispute, from the first signs of a problem to final judgment or award. We translate legal complexity into clear choices, tie every decision to an operational goal, and keep you ready for settlement, arbitration, or trial without losing momentum.

Roquemore Skiersi’s structured approach to resolving business disputes

Litigation Planning:

We begin by reviewing your governing documents, constructing a timeline, and collecting key evidence for your case. We confirm deadlines, evaluate dispute resolution clauses that affect venue and fees, and align the legal strategy with your business priorities so every step serves a concrete objective.

Strategic Demand Letters:

With the facts organized, we send a detailed demand letter to the opposing party that cites contract breaches at issue, reference relevant statutes, and propose practical solutions such as staged payments or re-delivery of goods. We set a firm deadline for a response, signaling that we are prepared to litigate but open to a resolution.

Evidence Preservation and Early Court Relief:

Once we understand the dispute, we act quickly to secure evidence. If money, property, or trade secrets are in immediate danger, we move quickly for a temporary restraining order or injunctive relief. These early steps prevent further harm and preserve the integrity of the case.

Negotiation or Mediation:

When talks are productive, we negotiate directly or use mediation to explore solutions in a confidential setting. Throughout negotiations, we continue building the case so leverage is maintained and momentum is not lost if discussions fail.

Focused Litigation:

When settlement is not possible, we file suit and narrow the dispute with targeted motions. Discovery is limited to the documents and witnesses that truly decide the outcome, which shortens timelines and controls costs.

Trial and Judgment Enforcement:

If trial is necessary, we present a clear narrative that ties the facts to measurable business harm. After a favorable result, we move promptly to enforce the judgment so your business can recover its damages and continue to grow.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

While our initial consultation will only be 15 minutes, you should be prepared to explain a clear timeline of your dispute, the amount at issue, and your ideal resolution. 

In Texas, most breach of contract claims must be filed within four years, while fraud and certain debt collection claims also have a four-year limit. Claims for injury to personal or real property usually have a two-year limit. Some specific business-related claims may have shorter or longer deadlines, so acting quickly after a dispute arises is important to preserve your rights.

The cost of business litigation varies widely depending on the complexity of the case, the amount of evidence, the number of witnesses, and how long the dispute lasts. Simple cases may cost a few thousand dollars, while complex or prolonged litigation can reach tens or even hundreds of thousands. Costs include attorney’s fees, court filing fees, expert witnesses, and expenses for gathering and reviewing evidence.

If you win your case, you may be entitled to compensation for attorneys fees too. Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 38.001 allows prevailing parties in lawsuits to recover “reasonable” fees.
