Commercial Contingency

Even a small business can run into a big problem. In fact, entrepreneurs and small companies are more likely to feel the effects of a dispute involving their business than a large company that can absorb these costs more readily. The typical attorney-fee model of the hourly fee can effectively price small companies out of pursuing legitimate claims. Lear Werts LLP represents small business clients on a contingency basis — not charging a fee unless and until the firm collects for your company. This arrangement allows small businesses to keep much-needed cash in the business to meet existing needs, while allowing the company to address grievances.

Disputes with other businesses

Working with other companies is a necessary part of doing business. Sometimes these relationships break down, though, and litigation may be required.

Bradford B. Lear and Todd C. Werts have helped many clients resolve issues with vendors, contractors and other parties, such as:

• Contract disputes: Lear Werts has resolved problems with contracts disputes. For example, we were able to avert a substantial business loss when another company reneged on a contract to buy products. The client was ready to write off the loss because of the complexity of the case, but Lear Werts was able to secure a favorable settlement.
• Franchise / Franchisee disputes: These cases are unfortunately common. Lear Werts has experience handling breach of contract cases and unlawful termination claims arising from a franchise relationship gone bad.
• Business Torts: There are instances when a business may engage in misconduct that adversely impacts a competitor, such as unfair competition, defamation, tortious interference with contract, or an anti-trust violation. In these instances Lear and Werts will work to make sure that the playing field remains fair and level.
