Commercial Litigation

This office’s litigation practice includes Business Litigation, Franchise Litigation and Landlord-Tenant Litigation.

During the life of every company, business disputes are likely to arise.  How disruptive these business disputes become is often based on whether a company can prevent a dispute from escalating to the court system, or, if litigation becomes necessary, how well the company navigates the maze of litigation.   

Rauchway Law counsels businesses on how to avoid litigation where possible.  In the event litigation cannot be avoided, this office works tirelessly to find the best, most cost-effective method to zealously pursue a client’s interests during the litigation process. 

Business Litigation

Typically, the last thing any business owner wants to deal with is incurring the time and expense of dealing with a court case.  That said, during the life of every company, business disputes are likely to arise.  How disruptive these business disputes become is often based on whether a company can prevent a dispute from escalating to the court system, or, if litigation becomes necessary, how well the company navigates the maze of litigation.   

Rauchway Law counsels businesses on how to stay out of court where possible.  Where litigation cannot be avoided, this office works tirelessly to find the best, most cost-effective method to zealously pursue a client’s interests during the litigation process. 

We represent clients in a wide-array of business disputes.Examples of our cases include: a recent complete dismissal of an approximately $1.4 million claim made by one of the largest banks in the country against our client based on an alleged breach of contract; securing a judgment for triple damages for our client in a consumer fraud action, and countless favorable settlements – including against some of the biggest companies in the world -- involving a variety of business disputes.

Commercial Landlord-Tenant Litigation

Businesses often lease commercial space to run their operations.  Unfortunately, landlords and tenants sometimes simply do not see eye-to-eye, and issues can crop up over: rent, noise complaints, snow removal, parking lot maintenance, trash removal, security deposits, early lease terminations, and/or an array of other areas where the tenant and the landlord are not on the same page. 

Our office has a wealth of experience representing commercial tenants in disputes with landlords, with the goal to always try to resolve any dispute as quickly and efficiently as possible.  While we always strive to keep these issues from escalating to the court system through pre-litigation counseling sometimes bringing the matter to court cannot be avoided.  We take pride in crafting a litigation strategy unique to each case, and one aligned with the client’s business objectives.  In cases where going to court cannot be avoided, we aggressively, yet tactfully, pursue tenants’ rights and defenses, and have successfully secured favorable settlements for our tenant clients before trial.
