A commercial dispute is worth litigating when the money at stake clears the cost and the time of chasing it, and the contract or the conduct gives you a claim. Breach of contract, partnership fallouts, fraud and unfair competition are the usual grounds. California allows four years to sue on a written contract and two on an oral one. Etehad Law reads the agreement and the correspondence before advising on which route makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Litigation in California

These are the questions that come up most often. They are general information about California law, not legal advice for any particular matter.

Four years on a written contract under Code of Civil Procedure section 337, two years on an oral one under section 339. The clock generally starts at the breach, not when you noticed it. Because the written and oral windows differ so sharply, the first thing worth establishing is what form the agreement actually took.

When the amount at stake clears the cost and the time of pursuing it, and the contract or the conduct gives you a claim. That is a commercial judgement as much as a legal one. We look at the agreement, the correspondence and the counterparty's ability to pay before advising on whether to file, negotiate or walk.

Three years, and it runs from when you discovered the fraud or reasonably should have, under section 338. Discovery matters here more than in contract cases, because fraud by its nature is concealed. Establishing when you could first have known is often the fight.

Only if a statute or the contract says so. California follows the American rule, where each side pays its own lawyers by default. Many commercial agreements include a prevailing party fee clause, which changes the economics of a dispute considerably. It is one of the first clauses we read.

Partners and members owe each other fiduciary duties, and excluding you from information, distributions or decisions can breach them. Remedies range from an accounting through to dissolution. What fits depends on the operating agreement and whether you want out or want the business.

California's Unfair Competition Law reaches business practices that are unlawful, unfair or fraudulent, which is broader than it sounds. It carries a four year limitation period and allows restitution and injunctive relief rather than damages. It is often pleaded alongside a contract or fraud claim rather than on its own.

If the contract contains an arbitration clause, usually yes, and California courts enforce them readily. Arbitration is typically faster and private, with limited rights of appeal. Whether that favours you depends on your position in the dispute, so it is worth understanding before signing anything.

It applies where someone owed you loyalty rather than merely a contractual obligation: partners, officers, majority shareholders, trustees, sometimes agents. The duty is higher than good faith, and the remedies can include disgorgement of profits. The limitation period is generally four years.

Sometimes. California courts can issue temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions where money damages later would not be an adequate remedy, for instance where trade secrets or a going concern are at risk. These move quickly and the evidence has to be ready on day one.

It depends on the matter. Some are suited to contingency, others to hourly or a hybrid where the arrangement follows the risk. The options get set out at the first meeting rather than one structure being presented as the only one.
