When should you contact a business litigation lawyer?

Your should contact a business litigation attorney when a dispute threatens your money, decision-making authority, 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, finding company funds used without permission, seeing customers solicited away, or facing missed payments that jeopardize operations. Business owners should retain counsel if they think a court order is necessary to halt ongoing harm, if key records must be preserved, or if arbitration, venue, or fee-shifting clauses will shape their strategy. Early engagement of a business litigation attorney preserves leverage, keeps costs predictable, and gives you actionable choices before problems escalate.

What damages and remedies are available in business litigation?

You can typically pursue direct damages for actual out-of-pocket losses and consequential damages for harms that were reasonably foreseeable. Proven lost profits may be recoverable; when they cannot be shown with reasonable certainty, reliance damages can reimburse reasonable expenses incurred because of the transaction.

 

Courts can also order restitution or disgorgement to prevent unjust enrichment, and an enforceable liquidated damages clause may set 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 particularly egregious cases, exemplary or punitive damages may be available within legal limits.

How Roquemore Skiersi approaches business litigation

We treat litigation as a business problem that should be managed with discipline and clarity. Our immediate goals are to stabilize operations, preserve cash, and create leverage at every stage so your company can keep operating while the dispute is resolved.

Litigation Planning:

We begin by reviewing governing documents, creating 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 serves a concrete objective.

Strategic Demand Letters:

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

Evidence Preservation and Early Court Relief:

After assessing the dispute, we move quickly to preserve evidence. When money, property, or trade secrets face immediate risk, we seek temporary restraining orders or injunctive relief to stop further harm and secure the claim.

Negotiation or Mediation:

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

Focused Litigation:

If litigation is unavoidable, we narrow issues 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 coherent business narrative that ties 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 brief initial consultation, be ready to explain the timeline of events, the amount at issue, and your desired outcome.

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 complexity, the volume of evidence, the number of witnesses, and how long the case lasts. Simple matters can be resolved for a few thousand dollars; complex, prolonged litigation can reach tens or hundreds of thousands. Typical costs 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 permits recovery of reasonable fees in certain contract claims.
