Business Disputes
Every business faces the potential for disputes. When a dispute rises to the level of litigation, having informed legal representation is essential. At Lancaster Tech Law, we have the expertise to prosecute, defend, and negotiate business disputes arising from:
- Breach of contract
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Breach of warranty
- Business collections
- Business fraud
- Employment law disputes – discrimination, sexual harassment
- Fraud and misrepresentation
- Insurance disputes
- Partnership disputes
- Shareholder disputes
We often recommend that clients pursue methods of alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration, to avoid the impact of a protracted legal battle on business operations. But sometimes, litigation is necessary. Using our skills and resources, we manage complex commercial litigation for clients in a variety of industries. We also specialize in using tactical eDiscovery collection to gather emails, chat messages, financial data, and other critical information. Rest assured, we will work to protect your interests in or out of the courtroom.

No matter the transaction, we work to find innovative solutions and help clients achieve success.
