WISCONSIN BUSINESS LITIGATION LAWYERS

The Milwaukee Business Litigation Team at Halling & Cayo S.C. handles all types of business disputes. We take on these cases with an eye towards getting the best result possible and we feel that requires the ability and the resolve to take a case all the way to trial.

This does not mean our cases do not settle. Most of them do. Our attorneys found the best way to reach a strong, fair outcome is to stay focused. We keep the case moving forward. Also, we make sure the other side knows we are ready and able to go to trial. That is if we cannot reach an appropriate settlement. Our lawyers have extensive experience in trying, and winning, cases in front of Judges, Juries, and panels of arbitrators.

Halling & Cayo offers traditional hourly representation as well as Transparent Pricing for business litigation cases. You can learn more about our Transparent Pricing on our Business Litigation Made Simple page.

TYPES OF DISPUTES

Commercial Litigation

Often disputes between companies, large or small, simply cannot be resolved without some legal intervention. These cases often focus on services to be provided and an alleged breach of contract by either party. They can also include disputes about future duties.

They may also seek to define each company’s duties under the current business arrangement. These are known as declaratory judgment cases. When these cases escalate to “bet the company” litigation, you need counsel experienced with high-stakes commercial litigation cases.

Breach of Contract

Whether it is a service provider, professional services (engineering, architectural, accounting, etc.), the sale of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code, these disputes can take all forms. Sometimes there is a written contract, other times there is simply invoices and purchase orders to reflect the parties’ agreement.

Often the issue revolves around What Constitutes a Breach of Contract and other times the main issue is How are Damages Measured in a Breach of Contract case.

Products Liability Defense

We defend businesses that make, sell, and distribute products against liability claims. In addition, focus on Food & Beverage Litigation (UPF), Chemical Exposure & Toxic Tort (diacetyl cases), and Failure to Warn cases. Also, we provide Strategic Product Liability Defense if your company is facing a products liability claim.

Non-Compete Litigation

These disputes encompass both the company seeking to enforce a non-compete agreement or an employee or executive seeking to invalidate the restriction or clarify the restrictions.

Corporate Shareholder or LLC Member Disputes

These cases can run the gamut from protecting minority shareholder rights, to enforcing a buy-sell provision, all the way to seeking judicial dissolution of the company to force a sale and winding up. Learn more about Corporate Shareholder or LLC Member Disputes here.

Trade-Secret Litigation

Trade Secrets are a legal term and do not cover every part of a business. Therefore, include things not generally known.

The owner must also try to keep them secret. Think of the Coca-Cola formula as a trade secret. A customer list likely is not a trade secret under Wisconsin law. Our Trade-Secret Litigation team can help evaluate your case.
