Wherever one establishes a business, commercial disputes are likely to arise. These disputes are more likely to occur in a dynamic and highly regulated environment such as that of Texas.

Houston is a major center where energy, real estate, and corporate businesses converge, making it an exciting place to do business.

What Is General Commercial Litigation?
Commercial litigation refers to legal disputes that arise in the business world. These cases can involve a wide range of issues, including:
- Contractual disputes (breaches of contract, enforcement, and interpretations)
- Commercial torts (fraud, misrepresentation, unlawful competition)
- Partner and shareholder conflicts
- Debt recovery and creditor rights
- Property and real estate disputes
- Compliance with regulations and administrative legal challenges
Unlike standard transactional legal work, commercial litigation is typically high-stakes litigation that requires aggressive representation to protect a company’s financial and operational interests.
