Hot Topics Driving Commercial Litigation and Risk

The legal risks for businesses are increasing, driven by economic pressures, global complexity, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. These are the critical areas demanding immediate attention:

1. Contract Disputes: The Litigation Constant

Breach of contract remains the most common and often the most costly source of commercial litigation. In an era of economic uncertainty and fluctuating supply chains, the likelihood of a vendor, partner, or client failing to meet their obligations has risen sharply.

● Supply Chain Failures: Disputes frequently arise from the enforcement of force majeure clauses, delays in delivery, and material price changes. Contracts must be meticulously drafted to address non-traditional disruptions and clearly define remedies.

● Post-M&A Conflicts: Increased M&A activity often leads to post-closing disputes over working capital adjustments, indemnification clauses, and alleged breaches of representations and warranties. We specialize in rigorous due diligence to prevent these disputes and aggressively litigate them when they occur.

2. Trademark and Intellectual Property (IP) Defense

Your brand, your logo, and your creative content are among your company's most valuable assets. Their protection requires vigilance and a willingness to defend them aggressively.

●Digital Brand Dilution: The speed of online commerce and social media makes your trademark vulnerable to rapid infringement and counterfeiting, often from international entities.

●Enforcement Strategy: We advise clients not only on securing U.S. and international trademark registration but also on developing robust enforcement strategies, including digital monitoring, sending cease-and-desist letters, and initiating infringement litigation when necessary to stop unauthorized use and protect brand integrity.

3. Employment Law and Misclassification Lawsuits

Workforce management is a major source of exposure, as regulators and former workers zero in on classification and compensation practices.

●Worker Misclassification Risk: The classification of employees versus independent contractors continues to be heavily scrutinized by state and federal regulators. A finding of misclassification can result in significant financial penalties, back wages, and exposure to costly class action lawsuits.

●Wage and Hour Compliance: Businesses must navigate complex and changing state and local minimum wage, overtime, and paid leave laws. Non-compliance often leads to protracted wage and hour litigation—a significant financial drain on any company.
