Shareholder disputes | Disputes with suppliers or vendors | Employment or employee-related disputes | Intellectual property or copyright disputes | Funding disputes | Real estate disputes
Contracts are an important part of any business entity; they allow a business to operate while maintaining grounds to remain financially stable and recover financial or other compensation for products, goods, or services delivered. When a contract is breached, it may result in a significant loss of time and revenue to your business. In these cases, it may be necessary to proceed with mediation or arbitration, and, if necessary, litigation, to enforce the terms of the contract and resolve contractual disputes.
The attorneys of Blustein, Shapiro, Frank & Barone, LLP, can provide assistance in a variety of contractual ligitation matters, including:
Employment contracts | Vendor contracts | Nondisclosure/non-compete agreements | Intellectual property contracts

Civil Trials
