This can include conflicts over contracts, partnerships, intellectual property, and employment issues. Companies may engage in litigation to protect their rights, enforce agreements, or seek damages for losses incurred due to another party's actions. The process typically involves filing a lawsuit in a court and may include various stages such as discovery, negotiation, and trial. Businesses often seek the assistance of litigation attorneys to navigate the complexities of the legal system and to represent their interests effectively.
