A business dispute refers to any disagreement or conflict between parties involved in commercial activities. This can include disputes between business partners, issues with contracts, disagreements with suppliers or customers, and other conflicts that impact business operations. Recognizing the nature of the dispute is the first step toward resolution.
Resolving business disputes typically involves identifying the core issues, evaluating the facts, and exploring possible solutions.

Familiarity with common legal terms can help you better understand your case and the options available. Below are definitions of key terms frequently encountered in business dispute matters.
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations under a legally binding agreement. This can lead to legal claims and remedies such as damages or specific performance.
