When You Are Faced with “Bet the Company” Litigation

When You Are Faced with “Bet the Company” Litigation.

There are times when individuals are faced with a situation where they have no alternative but to go to court to fight for their business or their ownership rights in a business. These kinds of cases often arise as disputes among the owners of the same business, but can also occur with outsiders who are trying to take away the business that you built.  Whether you own a start-up company or have an established organization, the future of your business can sometimes depend entirely on the cost and outcome of a single lawsuit. These are “Bet-the-Company” cases, and they go beyond traditional commercial litigation matters. They are often highly complex and present unique challenges. They require an in-depth analysis of risk and reward, complex discovery, and often involve multiple parties.

Having the right strategy is often the difference between winning and losing. When you are interviewing experienced attorneys for legal representation in your “Bet the Company” case, you need to look for a lawyer and a law firm that has three things:

1. A track record of success.
2. The experience to find a solution where the “cure” is not worse than the “disease.”
   
3. The willingness to fight for you to get you what you deserve.

When your company’s survival depends on victory, it is imperative to go to trial with a seasoned trial attorney who has the confidence and experience to navigate the course of your “Bet the Company” litigation.
