Business Litigation Information Center

Business litigation is a complex area of law that deals with contractual and tort lawsuits. Commercial litigation involves lawsuits related to commerce and business-related issues. These closely aligned areas of law address a wide range of cases, including lawsuits filed between businesses as well as lawsuits filed by individuals against businesses. Some examples may include contract disputes, insurance disputes, class actions, construction defect litigation and allegations of professional negligence or securities fraud. At DominaLaw Group pc llo, we handle all areas of complex commercial litigation for clients across Nebraska and throughout the United States.

Our Commercial/Business Litigation Services

Founded in 1975 and with locations in Omaha, Nebraska and Southfield, Michigan, our firm handles business and commercial litigation involving the following:

Business Disputes
When disagreements arise in a business setting, they may have a profound impact on business operations and may threaten the financial security of the company as well as any individual employees, business owners or managers involved in the dispute. DominaLaw Group litigates all kinds of business disputes with professionalism and the utmost attention to detail.

Shareholder Disputes
Minority, majority and equal shareholders in a company may have disputes amongst one another or may disagree with the conduct of the company officers. We represent shareholders in derivative actions as well as shareholder oppression, corporate waste and breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits.

Partnership Disputes
Disputing business partners may face a considerable challenge in attempting to resolve their conflict, particularly if they share equal control of a company. Our attorneys litigate on behalf of business partners to protect their interests and legal rights to the fullest extent.

Professional Negligence
Professionals in all fields, such as doctors, surgeons, accountants, stockbrokers and dentists, have an obligation to use their training and knowledge to forward the best interests of their patients, clients or customers. Any act or inaction that constitutes a failure to provide proper care may be considered negligence and may grant the injured or wronged party the opportunity to file a civil lawsuit to seek compensation for damages suffered.

Contract Law
Businesses of all kinds and sizes deal with contracts on a regular basis. Written and verbal agreements dictate how a business is run from day to day, how much its goods or services cost, how employees are compensated and so much more. When a breach of such contracts occurs, the wronged party or parties can take immediate action to hold the at-fault party accountable for their violation. We handle all kinds of contract lawsuits in Nebraska.

Construction Defects
Construction companies, contractors and sub-contractors work off contracts. If they provide substandard or faulty work, use inferior materials or do not design new structures, renovations or additions in accordance with building codes, the property owner may be able to file suit to remedy the matter.

Insurance Disputes
Insurance providers have an obligation to act in good faith when dealing with policyholders and investigating and paying claims. If an insurer tries to find ways to deny valid claims, wrongly delays payment, retroactively cancels a policy or otherwise acts in bad faith, the policyholder may be able to file a lawsuit to seek the full and fair value of the claim, plus damages.

Securities Fraud
Just like other professionals, brokers, brokerage firms, financial advisors and analysts have a duty to their customers to put their interests before their own in managing their accounts and recommending trades. Our team handles securities fraud litigation related to unsuitability, churning, unauthorized trading, negligence and all other forms of broker or brokerage firm wrongdoing.

Class Actions
A class action lawsuit is a single suit brought against a defendant or defendants on behalf of a class of plaintiffs. Highly specialized proceedings, they serve important purposes by streamlining litigation and providing results in cases that would otherwise be nearly impossible to litigate because of their massive numbers and modest individual damages. Injured and wronged parties may find strength in numbers in a class action lawsuit, holding large corporations accountable for their negligence and wrongdoing.

Contingency Fees
In certain areas of business and commercial litigation, our firm is able to work on a contingent fee basis. This typically applies if we serve to recover funds for a client. This fee structure offers a number of advantages for our clients and is yet another way we show our drive to secure a swift resolution and the highest possible jury award.
