Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Disputes in Pennsylvania

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 215-610-3440 today!

  • The statute of limitations for commercial disputes in Pennsylvania is four years. You, therefore, have four years within which to file your lawsuit. If you fail to meet this deadline, the court will most likely dismiss your case. This could be disastrous for your business.

    The statute of limitations is also applicable to individuals seeking to take legal action against companies. If you are a former employee of a company and want to file a lawsuit against your former company, you will have to file your lawsuit within four years. You will otherwise be barred from taking legal action against the company.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch with van der Veen, Hartshorn and Levin to consult with an experienced commercial dispute attorney in Philadelphia, PA. We’ll review your case and help you learn about your rights and options. We will get started with working on your case right away so you aren’t locked out by any deadlines.

  • Many people think that commercial litigation and civil litigation are different. However, civil litigation is quite broad. It goes beyond individuals suing individuals. Under civil litigation, an individual can also sue a commercial entity. Therefore, commercial litigation is just one type of civil litigation. Under commercial litigation, two parties that are engaged in a business-related dispute can pursue legal action. This is as long as the dispute is not of a criminal nature.

    Commercial litigation is quite complex. This is because the rights of businesses are different from the rights of individuals. It can therefore be difficult and even overwhelming to try and navigate your lawsuit on your own. It is in your best interests to work with an experienced Philadelphia commercial litigation lawyer and give yourself the best chance at securing a favorable outcome. Contact van der Veen, Hartshron and Levin to learn more about how we can help.

  • Commercial disputes can arise from a wide range of business-related conflicts. Common causes include breaches of contract, disagreements between partners or shareholders, employment-related disputes, intellectual property conflicts, unpaid invoices or collections matters, and disputes involving startups or business breakups. Because these disputes often involve complex business relationships and obligations, they require skilled legal evaluation to determine the rights and responsibilities of each party.
  • Whether a dispute should proceed to litigation depends on several factors, including the strength of your legal position, the financial impact of the dispute, the willingness of the other party to negotiate, and the long-term implications for your business. Many disputes can and should be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration to avoid the time and cost of a trial. However, if the other side refuses to cooperate or your rights are at risk, litigation may be necessary to secure a fair outcome.
