When business disputes turn ugly, you need a law firm that doesn’t just play the game but changes the rules. At JCJ Law Group, we tackle commercial litigation with an aggressive, no-nonsense approach. If someone is screwing you over, contact us to sort out the mess.
Common reasons for commercial litigation:
Breach of contract
When one party fails to uphold their end of a contractual agreement, it can lead to significant financial and operational damage. Breach of contract cases can involve non-payment, failure to deliver goods or services, or violating any terms outlined in the agreement. We fight to enforce contracts and ensure you receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
Partnership and shareholder disputes
Internal conflicts can disrupt business operations and profits. Disputes between partners or shareholders might arise from disagreements over business decisions, profit sharing, management roles, or alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. We handle these disputes by mediating, negotiating settlements, or litigating in court to protect your interests.
Business torts
Business torts include fraud, misrepresentation, interference with business relations, and unfair competition. These acts can severely harm your business’s reputation and financial health. We aggressively pursue these cases to secure compensation for the damages inflicted on your business and ensure those responsible are held liable for their unethical practices.
Employment disputes
Employment-related conflicts, such as wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and wage disputes, can be complex and costly. These issues can damage employee morale and disrupt business operations. We represent businesses in resolving these disputes swiftly and effectively, whether through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
Debt collection and payment disputes
When clients or partners fail to pay what they owe, it can strain your business’s finances. Debt collection and payment disputes can involve unpaid invoices, breached payment terms, or contested debts. We use all possible avenues at our disposal to pursue debt collection, resolve payment disputes, and recover the money owed to your business.

Our attorneys will thoroughly assess your situation and work to achieve the best possible result.
What if the other party is a much larger company?
