Business & Commercial Litigation FAQs
What is the difference between commercial and business litigation?
The distinction between commercial and business litigation can be nuanced, but it comes down to the scope of the disputes.
Generally, commercial litigation refers to disputes arising from business transactions, contracts, and commercial relationships, while business litigation is a broader term that encompasses a wide range of disputes related to the operation of a business.
Business litigation can include everything from employment disputes and intellectual property rights to regulatory compliance and business dissolutions.
In other words, all commercial litigation is business litigation, but not all business litigation is commercial litigation.
What is considered complex commercial litigation?
Complex commercial litigation generally refers to legal disputes that involve especially intricate and sophisticated commercial issues. These issues often require specialized judicial management and expertise.
Factors courts often consider when designating a case “complex” include the number of parties, the volume of documents, and whether multiple lawsuits are filed regarding the same or similar subject matter.
Essentially, the more moving parts there are, the more likely a case is going to be considered “complex,” requiring careful oversight and expertise to navigate effectively.
Why would a company choose litigation?
There are many reasons why a business may decide to litigate a dispute. Generally speaking, litigation should be deployed only as a last resort due to the time and financial commitment involved. Exhaust every other option before pursuing litigation.
Depending on the specifics of the situation and types of claims involved, businesses may want or be required to explore other ways of resolving the issue first. This could include methods like Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), like mediation.
ADRs can offer a quicker, more cost-effective path to resolving conflicts without having to enter the courtroom.
Why hire an Orange County business litigation attorney?
Hiring an experienced Orange County business litigation attorney can provide invaluable guidance when navigating complex legal disputes. While litigation should generally be a last resort due to the time and financial commitment involved, having a skilled attorney on your side ensures that you make informed and strategic decisions every step of the way.
An attorney can help you assess whether litigation is truly necessary or if alternative options, such as Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADRs), may be more suitable. In many cases, ADR methods such as mediation or arbitration can offer a faster, more cost-effective route to resolving conflicts without stepping into the courtroom.
A knowledgeable business litigation attorney can help you explore these options and determine the best course of action based on the specifics of your case. With their expertise, you can avoid unnecessary legal battles and pursue the most efficient path to resolution.

How long does a business litigation case typically take?
The length of time a case spends in litigation can vary wildly, and several factors play into how long the process takes:
- The number of parties involved can greatly impact how quickly things move forward. More parties often mean more complexity.
- The time needed for essential steps in the process, such as mediation, filing initial pleadings, going through discovery, and handling motions. These are all necessary steps of the process but require time.
- The availability of everyone involved, such as the parties, their attorneys, witnesses, and even the judge’s schedule. If any of these pieces don’t align quickly, it can slow things down considerably.
- The diligence of the attorneys also plays a significant role in how long litigation takes. A proactive, organized attorney can help keep the case moving, but some delays are simply part of the process.
Keep in mind that it is not unusual for a case to take at least two years before it even reaches a jury or another decision-making body.
While this can feel like a long way, this process is all part of ensuring that every detail is carefully addressed and that your case is given the attention it deserves.
