Business Litigation Lawyers in Newcastle

Let's examine a gander at the forms of cases in more detail – but don't hesitate, a phone call to a Newcastle litigation law firm is all it requires to begin the case. 

• Breach of Fiduciary Duty - This form of business litigation comes when a trusted individual, such as an employee or board member, intentionally or negligently does not meet the duties required as part of their role. 

• Derivative Actions - These are suits brought on behalf of a corporation by shareholders, directors, or officers in the event of mismanagement or fraud. 

• Shareholder/Partner Disputes - If partners in an entity can't agree or fulfill their duties, then shareholder or partner disputes can appear. This could include issues such as mismanagement of resources, interference with operations, unequal shares of assets, and failure to disclose material information. 

• Mediation/Arbitration - Additionally, we have mediation and arbitration, which are the cases of conflict resolution outside of a court case. A third-party mediator is selected to monitor communication between the two parties in disagreement and help them reach an amicable resolution. 

• Insurance Disputes - Insurance disputes include disagreements between an individual or entity and an insurance entity. This could include issues with the terms of the policy, coverage amounts, or premium payments. 

• Criminal behavior - Fraudulent behavior cases include a third party who has defrauded the entity or its employees. For example, we've seen misleading advertising, breach of contract, and misrepresentation of facts. 

• Business Dissolutions - Entity dissolutions can include partners or shareholders who want to dissolve their entity partnership and/or entity. 

• Contract Disputes - Contract disputes include any disagreement between two parties in a contract. This could be because of the breach of contract, failure to perform, or lack of understanding as to the terms and conditions of the contract.
