When most clients first hear of commercial litigation, it’s often
met with some confusion. What is commercial litigation? The term encompasses
any type of conflict revolved around business issues, such as failing
to fulfill a contract, misleading a customer, or practicing unfair trade acts. At
Hammond Law Firm in New Orleans, LA, we have a long history of experience with cases of
illegal commercial practices. Our seasoned team understands the inner
workings of business practices and can determine if a business or individual
was in the wrong.
Breach of Contract
A breach of contract means that the business or the customer failed to
meet the terms of a written or oral contract that was agreed on beforehand,
and cannot provide a viable excuse for breaching the contract. One reason
for this is not being specific in the contract about the conditions of
the agreement or using the wrong kind of vocabulary. If you feel you may
be a victim of a breach of contract, or are being accused of breaching
a contract,
contact us at Hammond Law Firm and we’ll assist you in determining if the claims are true.
False Advertising
This topic represents clients who have been misled by a company or product
being intentionally misrepresented or deceptive. This could negatively
affect customer relations, including possible future customers, shareholders,
and relations with other businesses if not resolved quickly. If a business
was intentionally deceiving the customer, and the result had the potential
to harm the customer or their assets, then there is grounds for a false
advertising litigation.
Unfair Trade Practices
Unfair trade practices is exactly what it sounds like – trying to
elevate your business through illegal practices such as defamation, wrongful
appropriation of trademarks or trade secrets, false advertising (see above),
boycotting, coercion and intimidation, or actively damaging the reputation
of another business. This topic does not include businesses that have
become successful naturally, but businesses or affiliates that are intentionally
performing illegal actions to gain a leg up in an industry.
