Litigation

Business Litigation

Not every dispute leads to a lawsuit. O’Neill Law helps people and their businesses develop and pursue the strategy that is the most effective for resolving each individual dispute that arises, whether that means negotiating a resolution before a lawsuit is filed or litigating a dispute up through a final resolution. Litigation might also involve enforcing or collecting a judgment once it is entered.

O’Neill Law can help people and their businesses navigate a variety of disputes, including those involving:

  • breach of contract;

  • breach of fiduciary duty;

  • consumer fraud;

  • civil theft;

  • copyright infringement;

  • defamation;

  • and many more.

Contract review

Contract Review

A business is only as strong as the contracts in place to secure its products, sell its services and employ its people. O’Neill Law can advise you and your business about the strengths and weaknesses of contracts in place. These might include:

  • artist agreements;

  • consignment agreements;

  • commercial lease agreements;

  • shareholder agreements;

  • design service agreements;

  • facility rental agreements;

  • event space agreements

  • license agreements;

  • routinely-used service agreements;

  • and many more.

Appeals
