Essex County Business & Estate Litigation Attorneys

Our NJ business litigation attorneys have extensive experience in alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation, which often are utilized as a way to resolve disputes without formal litigation. Individuals and businesses often can benefit from participating in mediation or arbitration, as these methods of dispute resolution can be cost-effective as well as less adversarial than a court proceeding. Alternative dispute resolution is a private method of addressing disputes, whereas litigation in court is a matter of public record.

Our business & commercial litigation lawyers in New Jersey have represented businesses and individuals in private as well as Court-directed mediation and arbitration, and many have served on mediation or arbitration panels.

Bendit Weinstock’s business clients include corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and closely held businesses. Our New Jersey business litigation attorneys are able to counsel our business clients with sensitivity to their unique needs and creative approaches to their problems. We address legal concerns of businesses from the start-up phase, through growth, and in the ongoing day-to-day operation of a business. We offer expertise in a wide range of substantive areas, including formation of the entity, corporate/entity governance and procedures, contract drafting and review, corporate and internal business disputes, transactions, and regulatory issues.

A major component of our firm’s practice is litigation on behalf of businesses in the state and federal courts of New Jersey, including the state Chancery Court. We handle business litigation in a variety of areas, from shareholder disputes, breach of contracts and agreements. We approach business litigation with a practical viewpoint – and the knowledge that the primary goal of a businessperson is to resolve the dispute effectively and with a minimum of time diverted from the operation of the business. We strive to learn the details of our clients’ businesses, to enable us to effectively advocate on their behalf – and resolve their disputes efficiently.

Many businesses face issues, one-time or ongoing, relating to collection of accounts, or after a lawsuit, collection of a judgment. We strive to provide our clients with information to enable them to evaluate the practical aspects of collection issues – whether the debt is worth pursuing, and whether collection from a debtor’s assets is likely. Enforcement of a judgment is sometimes as difficult as the lawsuit itself. If suit is filed, we pursue it efficiently, with the ultimate goal not only of obtaining a judgment, but enforcing it.

A great deal of litigation between business entities involves contracts and agreements which have been crafted to establish the parties’ rights and obligations, but which often need to be enforced, as well as interpreted. Our business litigation lawyers in NJ have expertise in gathering, and sifting through factual information necessary to evaluate breach of contract issues, and in focusing upon contract provisions which may need to be interpreted in litigation. This area of the law often requires in-depth analysis of the purpose of the contract and its provisions, as well as of the conduct of the parties, to determine their rights and obligations. Our New Jersey business litigation attorneys have a proven track record in litigating contract-based business disputes, and in providing practical counseling with respect to resolution of contract-based disputes in non-judicial forums.

Bendit Weinstock is experienced in dealing with all nature of disputes relating to insurance coverage. Denial of coverage, or an insurer’s defense of a matter with a reservation of its rights, at times are matters which our lawyers examine in-depth, from a legal perspective. In the business context, it often is necessary to address and resolve insurance disputes quickly, to enable the business to move forward with certainty relating to potential liability. Our New Jersey insurance litigation attorneys have the expertise to evaluate and advise as to one’s rights under policies of insurance which have been purchased, and under which coverage is expected.
