What Types of Business Litigation Does Our Vancouver Firm Handle?
Commercial disputes take many forms, and each one requires a litigation team with the knowledge and experience to navigate its specific challenges. At Lam Legal Trial Lawyers, we handle a broad range of corporate and commercial litigation matters for clients throughout British Columbia and other jurisdictions.
- Breach of contract claims. When a party fails to honor the terms of a commercial contract, the financial consequences can be severe. We represent clients on both sides of breach claims, pursuing enforcement or defending against allegations with equal rigor.
- Shareholder disputes. Disagreements between shareholders over company direction, profit distribution, oppression claims, or decision-making authority can paralyze a business. Our lawyers work to resolve these conflicts efficiently while protecting your ownership interests.
- Construction litigation. Payment disputes, defective work claims, lien enforcement, and project delay conflicts require lawyers who understand the legal and practical complexity of the construction industry.
- Professional liability. Claims alleging professional negligence or errors in service delivery can threaten your reputation and bottom line. We provide practical defense strategies tailored to each situation.
- Bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings. When a business partner, client, or debtor enters insolvency, your company’s interests must be protected. We handle creditor claims, asset recovery, and disputes arising from bankruptcy proceedings.
Whatever dispute your company faces, our Vancouver business lawyers bring the focus and litigation experience needed to pursue a successful resolution.
What Should You Do When a Business Dispute Arises in British Columbia?
When a commercial dispute surfaces, the steps you take in the first few days can significantly influence the outcome. Acting strategically from the outset protects your legal position and gives your business litigation lawyers the strongest foundation to work with.
Preserve all relevant documents and communications. Emails, contracts, invoices, corporate records, and internal correspondence related to the dispute should be secured immediately. Courts in British Columbia take document preservation seriously, and destroying or losing evidence, even unintentionally, can damage your credibility and your case.
Avoid making admissions or commitments. In the pressure of a dispute, business owners sometimes make verbal or written concessions to the other party hoping to resolve things quickly. These statements can be used against you in litigation. Before engaging in substantive discussions, consult with a business litigation lawyer who can advise you on what to say and what to avoid.
Assess the commercial contracts involved. Many disputes are governed by specific terms within the contract itself, including dispute resolution clauses, limitation of liability provisions, and indemnification requirements. Understanding these terms early helps your legal team develop an effective strategy.
Contact experienced business litigation lawyers immediately. The sooner your legal team is involved, the more options you have. Early intervention by our Vancouver business lawyers can sometimes resolve a dispute through a demand letter or negotiation before formal proceedings become necessary, saving your company significant time and funds.
