The last place you want to be as a business owner is in court. However, a well-drafted agreement can either prevent a courtroom fight or give you the upper hand if the dispute ends up in litigation. In our November Breakfast Briefs, Lavelle Law’s litigation team will show you how key provisions in your contracts – among business owners, between you and your employees, and with your customers, clients, and vendors – can help avoid litigation or provide you with the leverage you need to be successful in court. At Lavelle Law, unlike many other firms, we approach litigation as the “last resort.” We advocate on your behalf and explore all avenues to resolve legal issues before resorting to litigation. Because of this approach, we can typically save our clients time, money, and the headaches that often occur during long, drawn-out court battles.

If you would like to learn more about business litigation or if you want a legal “check-up” to make sure you are protected from unnecessary legal action, don’t miss this informative seminar.

This is a free seminar, but registration is required as space is limited. To register, email Danielle Palermo at dpalermo@lavellelaw.com.
