How long does commercial litigation take?
Timelines vary widely. Simple contract disputes may resolve in 3-6 months through negotiation. Complex commercial litigation involving discovery, expert witnesses, and trial can take 12-24 months or longer. We strive for efficient resolution at every stage.
What is the difference between litigation and mediation?
Litigation is the formal court process where a judge or jury decides your case. Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral mediator helps parties negotiate a settlement. Many cases resolve through mediation before trial.
How much does commercial litigation cost?
Costs depend on case complexity, discovery needs, and whether the case goes to trial. We provide transparent fee structures — including hourly and alternative arrangements — and regular budget updates so there are no surprises.
Should I settle or go to trial?
This depends on the strength of your case, the risks of trial, the costs involved, and your business objectives. We present all options with clear analysis so you can make an informed decision. We never push settlement or trial — we advocate for your choice.
What is a non-compete agreement and can it be enforced?
A non-compete agreement restricts an employee or former business partner from competing with you. In Georgia, non-competes are enforceable if they are reasonable in duration, geographic scope, and the legitimate business interest they protect. We help draft and litigate non-compete agreements.
