Does Commercial Litigation Apply to Small Businesses?

Yes, just as much as to large businesses. In fact, for small businesses, being aware of your commercial litigation options may be even more important than for larger businesses.

One of the law's primary functions is to protect the small and disempowered against those who would use their size, their power, their commercial influence to unduly influence the marketplace. As a small business, you will find many situations where others think they can treat you unfairly because of your size, including:

• Distributors who favor their larger customers
• Customers who think they can avoid paying
• Companies that want to steal your intellectual property
• Larger contractors who interfere with your work at shared sites

In any of these situations, the law is your ally and can make sure that you receive the supplies, money, and opportunity you need to compete in a free and open marketplace. If you protect yourself by writing judicious contracts and aggressively resolving contract disputes, you can show that your company is not to be trifled with.
