When should you retain a commercial litigation lawyer?

Retain a business litigation attorney when a dispute begins to jeopardize your money, control, or reputation. Common triggers include receiving a demand letter, being sued, getting an arbitration notice, being locked out of bank or software accounts by a partner, discovering company funds used without authorization, seeing customers solicited away, or facing missed payments that threaten operations. Call counsel if you believe a court order is necessary to stop continuing harm, if critical records must be preserved, or if arbitration, venue, or fee-shifting clauses will affect how you proceed. Early engagement preserves leverage, narrows costs, and gives you clear tactical options before problems escalate.

What remedies and damages can you pursue in business litigation?

You can typically seek direct damages for actual losses and consequential damages for harms that were reasonably foreseeable. If proven with reasonable certainty, lost profits may be recovered; when lost profits cannot be shown, reliance damages can reimburse reasonable expenses incurred because of the deal.

 

Courts may also order restitution or disgorgement to prevent unjust enrichment, and an enforceable liquidated damages clause can fix the remedy for certain breaches. Non-monetary relief such as temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or specific performance can stop ongoing harm or require performance. Attorneys’ fees and court costs may be recoverable under contract or statute, and interest can be added before and after judgment. In especially egregious cases, exemplary or punitive damages may be available within legal limits.

Why choose Roquemore Skiersi as your commercial litigation lawyer?

How Roquemore Skiersi manages a commercial dispute

We treat litigation as a business problem that should be handled with discipline and clarity. Our immediate goals are to stabilize operations, preserve cash, and develop leverage at every stage so your business can continue to operate while the dispute moves toward resolution.

Litigation Planning:

We begin by reviewing governing documents, constructing a timeline, and identifying the key evidence. We confirm deadlines, evaluate dispute-resolution clauses that affect venue and fees, and align legal choices with your commercial priorities so every action advances a concrete objective.

Strategic Demand Letters:

With the facts organized, we draft a precise demand letter that cites the relevant contract provisions and statutes, outlines the breaches at issue, and proposes practical remedies such as staged payments or return of property. The letter sets expectations and signals readiness to litigate if necessary.

Evidence Preservation and Early Court Relief:

Once the dispute is assessed, we move promptly to preserve evidence. When money, property, or trade secrets face immediate danger, we seek temporary restraining orders or injunctive relief to stop further harm and secure the integrity of the claim.

Negotiation or Mediation:

When settlement is feasible, we negotiate directly or use mediation to explore confidential resolutions. Throughout discussions, we continue building the record so leverage remains intact if talks fail.

Focused Litigation:

If litigation is unavoidable, we narrow the dispute through targeted motions and limit discovery to the documents and witnesses that matter, which shortens timelines and controls costs.

Trial and Judgment Enforcement:

At trial we present a clear business narrative tying facts to measurable harm. After a favorable result we move quickly to enforce the judgment so your business can recover and move forward.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

For a short initial consultation, be prepared to explain the timeline of events, the amount at issue, and the result you seek.

In Texas, many breach of contract claims must be filed within four years. Fraud and many debt-related claims commonly have four-year limitations, while some claims involving injury to person or property have shorter windows. Specific claims vary, so act promptly to preserve your rights.

Costs depend on case complexity, the volume of evidence, the number of witnesses, and the length of the dispute. Simple matters can be resolved for a few thousand dollars; complex, protracted litigation can reach tens or hundreds of thousands. Costs typically include attorney fees, filing fees, expert fees, and expenses for document review and depositions.

You may recover attorneys’ fees if your contract allows it or a statute authorizes fee-shifting. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 38.001 provides a mechanism for recovery of reasonable fees in certain contract claims.
