Types of Business Disputes Our Attorneys Handle
At Wilson Legal Group P.C., we represent business owners, partners, executives, and corporate entities in resolving a wide range of complex legal disputes. Our Dallas business litigation attorneys combine legal precision with real-world business sense to resolve conflicts that threaten your bottom line, relationships, and long-term growth.
Partnership & Shareholder Disputes
When business owners or investors reach a breaking point, the legal and financial implications can be significant. These disputes are often deeply personal and require not just litigation experience but a strategic, practical approach.
We represent clients in matters involving:
- Breach of partnership agreements
- Misuse or mismanagement of business funds
- Frozen-out minority shareholders
- Deadlock between equal partners
- Derivative lawsuits brought on behalf of the company
- Valuation disagreements during ownership exits or buyouts
We help clients enforce partnership and shareholder rights, negotiate buy-sell arrangements, pursue dissolution if necessary, and protect business continuity.
Breach of Contract
Contracts are only as strong as their enforcement. When one party fails to uphold their end of a business agreement, swift legal action may be necessary to avoid further losses.
Our team handles breach of contract cases involving:
- Service agreements and purchase orders
- Vendor and supply chain contracts
- Franchise or licensing agreements
- Business acquisitions or asset purchases
- Construction contracts
- Real estate leases and commercial transactions
We provide thorough contract analysis, identify all legal remedies available (including specific performance and monetary damages), and pursue resolutions through negotiation, mediation, or trial.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Fiduciary duties are legal obligations to act in another party's best interest—often owed by business partners, officers, directors, or managers. A breach can lead to severe damage and loss of trust within an organization.
We litigate fiduciary duty claims involving:
- Self-dealing or conflicts of interest
- Misuse of corporate funds or opportunities
- Failure to disclose material information
- Mismanagement of partnership or corporate affairs
- Abuse of control by majority owners
Our attorneys know how to pursue or defend against these serious claims while protecting the legal and reputational interests of our clients.
Business Fraud & Misrepresentation
Fraud claims often arise in transactions involving large sums of money, incomplete disclosures, or intentional deception. Whether you’ve been accused of fraud or need to bring a claim, we understand how to investigate, litigate, and defend fraud cases effectively.
We handle:
- Investment and securities fraud
- False or misleading financial representations
- Fraudulent inducement in mergers or acquisitions
- Embezzlement or diversion of business assets
- Fraudulent concealment or omission of material facts
Fraud litigation often involves significant forensic review, expert witnesses, and urgent motions for injunctive relief. Our firm is equipped to respond quickly and aggressively when fraud threatens your business.
Non-Compete & Restrictive Covenant Litigation
In today’s mobile workforce, protecting sensitive business interests while respecting employee mobility is a delicate legal balance.
We litigate disputes over:
- Non-compete agreements – including challenges to geographic scope or duration
- Non-solicitation agreements – including former employees poaching clients or staff
- Confidentiality clauses – involving the misuse of proprietary business information
Texas courts scrutinize these agreements for reasonableness. We know how to draft, enforce, or challenge restrictive covenants in a way that protects your business without overreaching.
Trade Secret & Confidential Information Disputes
Trade secrets—formulas, customer lists, pricing strategies, or proprietary software—are critical to maintaining a competitive edge. When that information is misappropriated, immediate legal action is essential.
Our firm helps businesses:
- Respond to data theft or unauthorized disclosures
- Enforce non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
- Seek emergency injunctive relief to stop further misuse
- Sue for damages under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (TUTSA) and the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA)
We move quickly to protect your most sensitive assets and pursue all available legal remedies.
What does a business litigation attorney do?
A business litigation attorney represents companies, business owners, partners, and executives in legal disputes involving contracts, partnerships, fraud, employment, and more. Their goal is to protect your interests through negotiation, mediation, or litigation—whether you're enforcing your rights or defending against a claim.
When should I hire a business litigation lawyer in Texas?
You should hire a business litigation lawyer as soon as a dispute arises or if you believe litigation may be on the horizon. Early legal involvement can preserve evidence, avoid missteps, and increase the chances of a favorable resolution. If you’ve been sued or served with a demand letter, don’t delay—speak with a qualified attorney immediately.
What are the most common types of business litigation cases?
The most common cases include:
- Breach of contract
- Partnership and shareholder disputes
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Fraud and misrepresentation
- Employment disputes
- Non-compete enforcement or defense
- Trade secret misappropriation
Each of these issues requires a tailored legal strategy based on the facts and applicable Texas law.
Can a business litigation attorney help with non-compete agreements in Texas?
Yes. A business litigation attorney can help you enforce or challenge a non-compete agreement. Texas courts only enforce non-competes that are reasonable in scope, geography, and duration. Whether you're a business protecting its interests or an individual facing unfair restrictions, legal guidance is essential.
What happens if a partner breaches a fiduciary duty?
If a business partner breaches their fiduciary duty—by misusing company funds, self-dealing, or withholding critical information—you may be entitled to legal remedies. A business litigation attorney can help you pursue damages, force a buyout, or take other corrective action to protect the business.
How can I protect my company’s trade secrets if an employee leaves?
If a former employee takes confidential information or trade secrets, you can file for injunctive relief and seek damages under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act (TUTSA) and the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). Your attorney can also help you strengthen non-disclosure agreements and internal safeguards to prevent future leaks.
What’s the difference between a shareholder dispute and a partnership dispute?
A shareholder dispute typically involves disagreements between individuals who own stock in a corporation, often over dividends, management decisions, or control. A partnership dispute involves co-owners of a partnership or LLC and may center on responsibilities, authority, or profit-sharing. Both require detailed contract review and often litigation to resolve.
