Litigation is not necessarily a “business strategy.” However, successful businesses and their owners are often faced with the decision to assert their rights when they have been wronged or defend themselves against claims from competitors, creditors and vendors. We represent business entities, sole-proprietors, members of LLCs, partners, shareholders, consumers and entrepreneurs in business-related disputes and lawsuits of all varieties. We litigate matters involving claims for fraud; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; false and deceptive advertising; defective construction claims; consumer claims; and all other commercial issues.

The Whitlock Firm will advise and represent clients from the inception of a dispute, to alternative dispute resolution (mediation / arbitration / negotiation), where possible, and throughout litigation.

Although not intended as a comprehensive list, our business litigation practice includes work in the following areas:

• Contract Disputes of all Varieties;
• Landlord-Tenant Disputes – Commercial and Residential;
• Partnership and LLC Disputes;
• Construction Contracts, including Lien/Surety Claims;
• Insurance Claims;
• Landowner Liability; and
• Consumer Protection Cases involving Fraud or Misrepresentation

The Whitlock Firm is sensitive to the high costs of commercial litigation in time, money and stress; thus, we make every effort to ensure the litigation representation in these matters is focused on the “return of investment” with the legal strategy being driven the economic realities of each individual situation. We practice with integrity and do not engage in the filing the frivolous pleadings or "nickle and diming" our clients with unnecessary efforts.
