Hear from our happy clients

When should you contact a business litigation lawyer?

You should contact a business litigation lawyer when a dispute begins to threaten your money, decision-making authority, or reputation. Typical triggers include receiving a demand letter, being served with a lawsuit, 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 endanger operations. Reach out if you believe a court order is required to stop ongoing harm, if critical records must be preserved immediately, or if arbitration, forum-selection, or fee-shifting clauses in a contract will shape strategy. Early involvement preserves leverage, limits unnecessary expense, and gives you tactical options before problems escalate.

What remedies and damages can you pursue with business litigation?

You can generally seek direct damages for actual out-of-pocket losses and consequential damages for harms that were reasonably foreseeable. When lost profits can be proved with reasonable certainty, those may be recoverable; when they cannot, reliance damages can reimburse reasonable costs you incurred because of the transaction.

 

Courts may also award restitution or disgorgement to prevent unjust enrichment, and an enforceable liquidated damages provision may fix the remedy for certain breaches. Non-monetary relief — temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or specific performance — can halt ongoing harm or compel 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 circumstances, exemplary or punitive damages may be available within statutory limits.

Why Plano businesses choose Roquemore Skiersi as their business lawyer

You deserve attorneys who act like members of your leadership team rather than outside trial counsel. At Roquemore Skiersi, we advise across the full lifecycle of a dispute — from early warning signs through settlement, arbitration, or final judgment. We simplify legal complexity into clear choices that map directly to your business objectives, and we keep you ready to settle or try the case without losing operational momentum.

Trial-seasoned attorneys

Our lead lawyers average twenty years of business and commercial litigation experience in Texas courts and have secured millions in recoveries for clients through settlements and verdicts.

Multi-Industry Experience

From enterprise technology to advanced manufacturing, we understand the business models and regulatory pressures common to Plano and Collin County companies.

Meticulous preparation

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail. Early case assessment, tightly-scoped discovery, and decisive motions build leverage well before a case can escalate to a trial.

How we manage business and commercial disputes for Plano clients

We treat litigation as a business issue that should be managed with discipline and clarity. Our immediate objectives are to stabilize operations, preserve liquidity, and develop leverage at each stage so your company can continue operating while the dispute is resolved.

Litigation Planning:

We begin by reviewing governing documents, constructing a timeline, and identifying critical evidence. We confirm dispositive deadlines, analyze dispute-resolution provisions that affect venue and fee exposure, and align legal choices with your commercial priorities so every action advances a practical objective.

Strategic Demand Letters:

After organizing the facts, we prepare a focused demand letter that cites relevant contract provisions and statutes, outlines the breaches at issue, and proposes practical remedies such as staged payments or return of assets. The letter sets a clear deadline and signals that we are prepared to litigate if necessary.

Evidence Preservation and Early Court Relief:

With the dispute assessed, we move quickly to secure evidence. When money, property, or trade secrets are at immediate risk, we seek temporary restraining orders or other emergency relief to prevent further injury and preserve the integrity of the claim.

Negotiation or Mediation:

When settlement is feasible, we negotiate directly or use mediation to pursue confidential resolutions. We continue building the record during talks so leverage remains intact if discussions break down.

Focused Litigation:

If litigation cannot be avoided, 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 coherent business narrative tying facts to measurable harm. After a favorable result we move promptly to enforce the judgment so your company can recover and move forward.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

For a brief initial consultation, be prepared to explain the timeline of events, the amount at issue, and the outcome you want.

Most commercial cases do not reach a full jury trial. Many are resolved through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or early dispositive motions. Trials are expensive and time consuming, so parties often settle once the legal positions and risks are clear. We plan every matter with settlement and trial readiness in mind so you can press or resolve the case from a position of strength.

You may recover attorneys’ fees if your contract so provides or a statute authorizes fee-shifting. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 38.001 allows prevailing parties in certain contract actions to recover reasonable fees.

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 claims involving injury to person or property may have shorter windows. Specific claims vary, so act promptly to preserve your rights.

Yes. We regularly represent clients when an out-of-state company’s conduct affects businesses in Texas. Whether Texas courts are the correct forum depends on jurisdictional rules, personal jurisdiction over the defendant, and any forum-selection or arbitration clauses in the contract. We analyze those factors and advise whether to pursue relief in Collin County, northern District of Texas federal court, or another appropriate forum, and we will litigate or seek enforcement wherever necessary.

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