Through my experience in the legal field, I’ve observed that the terms “business” and “commercial” litigation are often mistakenly used interchangeably. However, it is important to recognize that these terms refer to distinct areas of legal disputes, each with its own implications for your business.
With that in mind, I am reaching out to provide a brief overview of the key differences between these two types of litigation and share some common examples.
Commercial litigation typically involves disputes arising from business transactions or contracts between different companies. This type of litigation often centers on issues such as contract breaches, intellectual property rights, and disputes over leases or the sale of goods.
In contrast, business litigation focuses on internal disputes within a company, often related to compliance with state and federal regulations. These cases may involve employment lawsuits, shareholder disputes, or matters concerning workplace safety rules. Unlike commercial litigation, which usually involves external conflicts between companies, business litigation tends to address internal issues within a single organization.
