Commercial & Contract Litigation Attorney

 Commercial litigation covers any legal dispute arising from business contracts, relationships, or transactions. Even small businesses face these issues — from a vendor who didn't deliver to a partner who violated your agreement. Early legal intervention almost always costs less than waiting until a dispute escalates. 

 You must show: the existence of a valid contract, that one party performed (or had justification for non-performance), that the other party failed to meet their obligations, and that the failure caused you actual damages. 

 Most contract actions must be filed within three years of the breach. Some claims for liquidated or determinable sums may have a six-year window. Acting early preserves your evidence and legal options. 

If your operating agreement or partnership agreement doesn't resolve the deadlock, you may need legal intervention. Options include forced buyout, negotiated dissolution, or in some cases, judicial dissolution of the business entity.

 Generally not — unless a specific statute authorizes it or the contract itself provides for fee recovery. However, Colorado's offer-of-settlement statute can shift post-offer costs if the other party rejects a qualifying written settlement offer and then does worse at trial.
