Frequently Asked Questions on Business Laws in Los Angeles
What is a breach of contract?
When a partnership is formed, an employee is hired, or external services are rendered for a specific business, a contract is formed. It is a legally binding agreement that discerns the business practices the company or the employee will comply with. If one breaks any aspect of the contract, it is considered a breach of contract.
What does a non-compete agreement do?
Usually, when a company hires employees, they sign a non-compete agreement that prevents them from leaving the company to work for a competitor company. It helps the company avoid unfair competition in the workplace.
A non-compete agreement helps safeguard the company’s ideas, trade secrets, or technological advancements. An employee who violates the contract is guilty of breaching the contract.
What is business litigation?
Business litigation is directly related to legal matters of your business. It gives stipulations, guidelines, and legal guidance to any business form, whether it is a partnership, company, organization, or corporation, on how to run the business.
Business litigation also provides the ability to mediate through conflicts that may arise within the company by depicting different laws on contracts, trademarks, and non-compete agreements.
Is litigation right for my business?
Each case is different. Without a business lawyer’s guidance, you cannot determine if litigation is the best option. However, mediation or arbitration may be effective.
Often, complicated problems make it nearly impossible for the two parties to reach a mutual agreement.
If you or the other party has filed a lawsuit, you may settle before going to trial. However, it is important to prepare the case and reach litigation because the counsel on the opposing side may look deeply into the case details.
They may urge their client to settle the case instead of undergoing litigation, especially if your defense is robust.
How long does litigation take?
The duration of the litigation process depends on the problem. A complex and involved problem necessitates in-depth and extended negotiations with stubborn parties. These cases take months, and sometimes years, to resolve.
If the issue involves more than two parties in the conflict, it can be an extra factor extending the duration of the case.
When you have a business litigation lawyer to assist you, expect to accelerate some of the legal procedures and stay informed every step of the way.
