Atlanta Business Law Lawyers

Decatur Contract Disputes Attorneys

There are an infinite number of ways that businesses can lose money or profits as a result of other people's wrongdoing. Cases involving business torts, breach of contract, business fraud, insurance bad faith or malpractice by professionals such as accountants or lawyers can present many complex issues. If your business has sustained a significant financial loss as the result of someone else's wrongdoing, you should contact Charles McAleer for a free consultation.

Our Atlanta business law attorneys have much to offer, including techniques designed to maximize our clients' recoveries in business litigation cases. For example:

• Trial Lawyers - Perhaps the most significant difference between McAleer Law's attorneys and most other lawyers involved in business disputes is that we are trial lawyers.  Most often, parties in business litigation are represented by business or corporate lawyers, who may be excellent at giving business or tax advice or handling business transactions or litigating (handling the paper pushing component of a case), they do not have the expertise at presenting a case at trial. Many times these non-trial lawyers fold before trial, paying substantial settlements. Other times when they do go to trial, they simply are not as adept at presenting a case to a jury. McAleer Law has a proven record of success in business litigation cases built on extraordinarily thorough preparation combined with use of the best experts and creative approaches to communicating our client's story to the jury.

• Contingency Fees - Another thing that sets apart from other firms that handle business litigation is that in certain circumstances we are willing to represent clients who we believe have a winning claim on a contingency fee basis.

• Maximizing Damages - It isn't enough to establish liability in a business dispute, the outcome of a client's case also depends on proving the full extent of damages.  McAleer law knows how to find the best economists and other business experts who can quantify our client's losses sustained as a result of defendant's wrongdoing. More importantly, we at know how to present the damages to juries in a way that makes them understand that our clients have been truly harmed and deserve to be made whole to the full extent authorized by law.

• Examples of Business Cases That Can Be Handled:

  • The two most common losses businesses sustain are the result of third parties breaching contracts or their insurance companies failing to pay benefits due under their insurance policies. Other cases, called business torts, can involve unfair competition, stealing business secrets, stealing customer lists, stealing employees, lost opportunities, etc. Yet another area of losses for businesses is where they rely upon faulty advice or work of professionals they have hired, like lawyers, accountants, insurance brokers, etc. Other types of litigation that business or businesspeople get involved in are related to their business dealings, such as receipt of inadequate goods, real estate disputes, buy-sell disputes, etc.
