Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is commercial litigation?

Commercial litigation/business litigation addresses disputes that arise out of commercial relationships, transactions, and internal company matters. These cases often involve corporate and commercial disputes such as breach of contract, governance conflicts, or allegations involving fiduciary duties. The objective remains practical and defined: resolve the dispute through a court process that results in an enforceable outcome based on the law and the underlying facts.

Business litigation lawyers represent companies, shareholders, partners, executives, and other parties involved in business relationships that have broken down or require legal clarification. Representation focuses on evaluating evidence, applying the law, and pursuing outcomes that protect financial interests, enforce agreements, or address misconduct. The work is grounded in strategy and execution, with attention placed on achieving results that a court can recognize and enforce.

At Equal Justice Solutions, our business litigation lawyers do not represent clients who view the legal system as a tool for personal disputes disconnected from legal rights.

It is not a forum for personal validation.
It is not a vehicle for settling emotional grievances.
It is not a strategy for retaliation.

Our work is directed at securing what the law provides, whether that involves compensation, ownership interests, or other defined legal remedies.

That depends on your objectives and your understanding of the process. Business litigation is suited for situations where a legal right must be defined, enforced, or defended. It requires a measured approach, where decisions are guided by facts, risk, and legal standards rather than emotion. When expectations align with what the legal system can realistically deliver, the process becomes more focused and effective.

The timeline varies based on the complexity of the issues, the volume of documents, the number of witnesses, and the court’s schedule. Matters involving multiple parties, detailed financial records, or technical subject matter often require extended discovery and motion practice. If a case proceeds to trial, the process can extend over several years as it moves through the court system toward a final judgment.

Business litigation involves a high level of uncertainty, cost, and time investment. Cases depend on evidence, witness cooperation, procedural developments, and the conduct of all parties over an extended period. A pure contingency model shifts the entire financial burden to the firm, including legal work, staffing, filings, and expert costs, while outcomes remain unpredictable. Our approach supports steady, disciplined work by maintaining a structure where both the client and the firm remain aligned in managing the risks and demands of the case.

Claims under $100,000: These claims are seldom worth pursuing unless the matter involves a clean breach of contract with a solvent defendant and no credible defenses. Spending $100,000 to recover the same amount produces a break-even result before accounting for stress, delay, and uncertainty. While we do offer a Small Business Program to help narrow that gap, even then, most sub-six-figure disputes are better treated as a loss.

Claims over $1,000,000: These claims are almost always worth pursuing. Even if litigation costs reach $400,000 to $500,000 over two years, the return is sound, and the action often protects the business or sets a needed standard within the industry.

Claims Between $100,000 and $1,000,000: This range is the gray zone. The decision turns on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the strength of the expected defenses, the opponent’s ability to satisfy a judgment, the likelihood of success, and the business’s risk tolerance.

Our standard rate at Equal Justice Solutions is $695 per hour. That is modest compared to many top firms, especially in places like New York and throughout Delaware, where hourly rates reach $1,200 to $1,500. Even Delaware courts have stated that $900 per hour is reasonable for commercial litigation attorneys handling significant commercial disputes.

The truth is, complex commercial litigation is labor-intensive. Here is a rough breakdown of how the work typically unfolds:

100 to 200 hours to get past the pleadings (motion to dismiss, etc.)
100 to 200 hours for document discovery
200+ hours for depositions
200 to 400 hours for trial prep
400+ hours for the trial itself

That’s roughly 1,000 hours. Cases involving business torts or other fact-heavy claims often fall at the higher end of this range. If a case requires multiple attorneys, the numbers rise accordingly.
