Commercial Litigation Center

Litigation is not a pleasant process, and it is a process that carries with it certain risks. At the same time, litigation is often the only way available to protect your business interests, and to help your business stay competitive. If your business is involved in a commercial dispute, do not delay in seeking the help of an experienced commercial litigation lawyer. You need to do what you can to protect your interests.


When it comes right down to it, most commercial litigation arises over money; but the issues involved are rarely simple. From our offices in Manhattan, we have litigated national and transnational commercial disputes throughout New York and nationwide. Commercial litigation can be an effective tool in achieving a business goal, but is frequently a costly endeavor. One of our initial goals in commercial litigation is to help a client articulate a realistic business and litigation objective. Once an objective is established, we actively involve clients in decision-making as we pursue an optimal resolution. We do not promote unnecessary business litigation, but we are willing and able to vigorously wage a legal battle when it is in the best interest of a client.

Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial Litigation

Q: How long will the lawsuit take?

A: It varies. The length of time a lawsuit takes depends on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, the willingness of the parties to resolve the case and the court's schedule. A relatively simple suit, not involving any complex legal or factual issues, could be over in a few months, while a complicated, multi-party suit could take years to resolve.

Q: Who will hear the case?

A: Most commercial lawsuits will be heard by a jury. If the parties agree, a jury may be waived, and the case heard by the judge. The decision of whether to have the case heard by a jury or a judge is a tactical one, and depends on the facts and circumstances of each case.
