San Antonio Business Litigation Attorney

Bexar County Commercial Litigation Lawyer Helping Resolve Business Disputes

Businesses may become involved in legal disputes that may affect their ability to engage in certain types of business activities, their ability to generate income, and their ability to fulfill the terms of contractual agreements. There are a variety of methods that may be used to resolve these disputes, and in some cases, a business may use litigation to recover financial losses or require another party to meet its legal obligations. Businesses that need to address these types of disputes will want to work with a business law attorney who can help them understand their options and provide representation during the litigation process.

At the firm of Geoff Mayfield, Attorney at Law, we work with many different types of businesses to determine the best ways to address and resolve legal disputes. Geoff has more than 15 years of legal experience, and in addition to providing representation in business litigation, he helps address issues related to business formation, business contracts, commercial real estate transactions, and much more. By working closely with you to understand the needs of your business and the issues you need to address, he can make sure you are prepared to defend your rights and interests as you work to resolve business disputes either inside or outside of the courtroom.

Representation in Multiple Types of Business Disputes

Business owners have several different options for addressing and resolving disputes with other people or companies. In some cases, the parties may be able to negotiate a settlement, or they may agree to participate in mediation or arbitration. If disputes cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, a case may proceed to litigation, and a trial may be held in which a judge or jury will decide in favor of one party and order the other party to pay damages or take certain actions.

Geoff can assist with litigation involving disputes such as:

• Owner/partnership disputes - Business partners may disagree about how a company should be managed, or an owner or partner may be accused of misusing a company's assets or failing to uphold their fiduciary duty to other partners or shareholders. Geoff can help partners determine how to resolve these issues in a way that will allow a business to continue operating, or he can help determine the best way to proceed with the dissolution of a partnership.
• Breach of contract disputes - If one party in a contractual agreement fails to uphold their obligations, the other party may seek compensation for financial losses that occurred because of the breach, or they may ask that the other party be required to follow the contract's terms.
• Commercial landlord/tenant disputes - Landlords and tenants may encounter disputes regarding the payment of rent, responsibility for making repairs or improvements, or other matters related to the terms of a lease.
• Employment disputes - Employers may need to address claims that they have not properly compensated employees for the work they have performed, or they may need to respond to claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, or wrongful termination. Employers may also need to take action to address the violation of a non-compete or non-disclosure agreement by a current or former employee.
• Commercial real estate disputes - A variety of issues may arise during a commercial real estate transaction, and buyers and sellers may need to take legal action to protect their rights and interests. Real estate developers may also need to use litigation to resolve disputes related to construction work, property boundaries, or zoning and land use.
