Business Litigation Attorney
in Columbia, South Carolina

Because of Columbia’s central location in the state and its status as the state capital, we see a lot of business pass through the area. Running a business is a full-time task, and the challenges you will face on a daily basis can be varied and unpredictable.

Unfortunately, in the commercial environment, we are in today, legal issues arise frequently with businesses, no matter what type of business they do. These issues, which can range from property disputes to fraudulent claims, and multiple variables of breaches of contracts can severely slow or completely halt the normal processes of an otherwise effective company.

Put a Skilled Attorney on Your Side

Incompetent handling of commercial claims does not just shortchange a company on the resolution of a legal issue, it also hurts the daily capabilities of a business to conduct its routine affairs. Legal malpractice, a very real concern with the representation of commercial enterprises, is the cause for thousands of lawsuits every year in the United States; not only are these lawsuits common, but they can commonly take many years to resolve and be very difficult to handle.

Protecting your investment and your employees necessitates careful consideration and analysis of the issues and evidence. Improper “theft” of your employees, those you trained and chose to represent your company, and yourself by competitors can be actionable when improper means and methods are employed and where the goal of your competitor includes discovering your confidential and trade secret information; their targets could include confidential information, techniques, methods and client lists you spent years developing and carefully protecting.

Your business is not just your livelihood, it is a representation of who you are, your accomplishments and what you stand for. It is important to trust the hard work you have put into running your business to someone who understands the effort necessary to do the same.
