COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LITIGATION
Farrell & Farrell is one of the few firms in the region with a lawyer, Michael J. Farrell, who has been recognized as a ‘business litigator’ by the Best Lawyers in America publication. He has had this distinction for a number of years. Beginning in 2009, the Best Lawyers publication identified Mr. Farrell as a lawyer if your business faced “Bet-The-Company litigation.” Mr. Farrell and his team of commercial trial lawyers have the experience necessary to litigate the commercial disputes which have contributed to the nationwide litigation explosion. Disappointed business partners seek redress for failed expectations. Employees and former employees perceive litigation as the alternative to getting rich through the lottery. Restrictive employment covenants are contested. Stock portfolios lose value, and broker claims require a vigorous defense. Frequently, there is a need for competent and aggressive representation when money is at stake because a contract was breached or business expectation unfulfilled.
A review of the Farrell & Farrell business litigation case listing demonstrates that a diverse array of issues have been resolved for our clients in the courtroom rather than the boardroom. Litigation is always disruptive to the operation of a business. When a business dispute arises, the choice of a mature, competent and experienced lawyer is essential. Very often, a potential client has a problem and consults a business or tax lawyer for advice. In Great Britain, the procedure would be to consult a solicitor (advisor) who will take the client to a barrister (trial lawyer). While Farrell & Farrell has lawyers who can write a contract, as importantly, its lawyers have the skills to evaluate, attack or defend the enforceability of a contract.
The intrusion of government into the business environment creates multiple occasions for defending claims based on non-compliance with federal or state law. Delay in addressing these and other legal problem can be injurious to the capacity to successfully prevail.

Businessmen and women rely on forecasts to guide the development of their businesses.
