What is Business Civil Litigation?

Business civil litigation refers to legal disputes between companies, individuals, or organizations that do not involve criminal charges. Instead, these cases typically revolve around issues like contract breaches, partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, employment conflicts, and more. The primary goal in civil litigation is to seek monetary compensation, enforce contractual obligations, or obtain court orders to prevent or mandate specific actions.

Unlike criminal cases, where the government prosecutes an individual or entity, civil litigation is initiated by a private party (the plaintiff) against another party (the defendant). Both parties present their arguments, and the case can be resolved through settlement negotiations, mediation, arbitration, or trial.

Common Types of Business Civil Litigation

At Mazarei Law Group, we handle a wide range of business civil litigation cases for clients in Irvine and throughout Orange County, including:

  1. Breach of Contract: Disputes over the failure to fulfill the terms of a legally binding agreement are among the most common types of business litigation.
  2. Partnership and Shareholder Disputes: Internal conflicts can disrupt operations and harm a company’s stability.
  3. Employment Litigation: Issues related to wrongful termination, discrimination claims, wage disputes, and more.
  4. Intellectual Property Disputes: Protecting trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and patents from infringement.
  5. Business Torts: Claims involving fraud, misrepresentation, interference with business relationships, and unfair competition.

The Business Civil Litigation Process

Understanding the civil litigation process can help business owners manage expectations and make informed decisions. While every case is unique, the typical stages of business civil litigation include:

1. Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation

The process begins with a consultation where you meet with an experienced civil litigation attorney, like Attorney Tawny Mazarei, to discuss the details of your case. We review contracts, communication records, and other relevant documents to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your position.

2. Pleadings

The litigation officially starts when the plaintiff files a complaint outlining their claims against the defendant. The defendant then responds with an answer, which may include counterclaims, defenses, or motions to dismiss the case.

3. Discovery

Discovery is a critical phase where both parties exchange information relevant to the case. This may involve:

  • Interrogatories: Written questions that must be answered under oath.
  • Requests for Production: Exchange of documents, emails, contracts, and other evidence.
  • Depositions: Out-of-court sworn testimonies from parties and witnesses.

Discovery helps both sides gather facts, identify key issues, and prepare for trial.

4. Pre-Trial Motions and Settlement Negotiations

Before going to trial, attorneys may file motions to resolve certain issues or even dismiss the case entirely. Many business disputes are settled during this phase through negotiation or mediation, which can save time and legal expenses.

5. Trial

If a settlement cannot be reached, the case proceeds to trial. Both sides present their arguments, evidence, and witness testimonies before a judge or jury. After deliberation, a verdict is issued.

6. Appeals (if necessary)

If either party is dissatisfied with the trial outcome, they may file an appeal to challenge legal errors that may have occurred during the trial process.

Why You Need a Civil Litigation Attorney

Business disputes can have serious financial and reputational consequences. Here’s why hiring experienced civil litigation lawyers is essential for your business:
