What Are the First Steps in a Complex Commercial Litigation Case?
The first step in any complex commercial litigation case is to consult with an experienced complex commercial litigation attorney. A commercial litigation attorney will be able to review the facts of your case and advise you of your legal options.
What Are Some Common Complex Commercial Litigation Strategies?
There are many different complex commercial litigation strategies that can be used in a complex commercial litigation case. Some common strategies include:
- Settlement negotiation: The attorneys on both sides will try to reach a settlement agreement that is acceptable to both parties. This can often be done without going to trial.
- Mediation: Mediation is a process where a neutral third party will try to help the parties reach a settlement agreement.
- Arbitration: Arbitration is similar to mediation, but the arbitrator will make a binding decision if the parties cannot reach an agreement.
What Are the Complex Commercial Litigation timelines?
The complex commercial litigation timelines can vary depending on the facts of the case and the strategies used by the attorneys. However, complex commercial litigation cases can often take months or even years to resolve.
What Are the Steps in a Complex Commercial Litigation Case?
The steps in a complex commercial litigation case will vary depending on the specific type of dispute and the jurisdiction in which the case is filed. However, there are some general steps that are typically followed in complex commercial litigation cases:
- Investigation and Discovery: The first step in most complex commercial litigation cases is the investigation and discovery phase. During this phase, both sides will investigate the facts of the case and collect evidence. This may involve things like interviewing witnesses, reviewing documents, and taking depositions.
- Pretrial Motions: Once discovery is complete, each side may file pretrial motions. Pretrial motions are typically used as a way to narrow the issues in the case or to exclude certain evidence.
- Trial: If the case is not resolved during discovery or through pretrial motions, it will likely go to trial. The trial is where each side presents its evidence and arguments to a judge or jury.
- Appeal: Either side may appeal the decision if they are unhappy with the outcome of the trial.

How We Give Clients The Advantage In Business Litigation
At its most fundamental level, commercial and business litigation is the result of breakdowns in relationships and communication between people. Whether it is a dispute over the language in a contract or ill-advised decisions, the issues often are very complex and there is a lot at stake.
At the law firm of Michael L. Feinstein, P.A., in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, our commercial and business litigation attorneys are veterans of business battles — we have been to trial more than 100 times. We know what to expect and we embrace the hard work that is required with complex cases. As a result of this experience, we put our clients in the best possible position to achieve a favorable result.
The “Secret” Business To Litigation

- Construction and real estate disputes

What Sets Us Apart From Other Firms?
At Michael L. Feinstein, P.A., we take a disciplined approach to litigating commercial and business disputes and we relish every step of the process.
On the surface, the way we approach litigation appears to be simple:
- We analyze all of the facts surrounding the case. Drawing on our experience with hundreds of business formations and transactions, we know where to look for important information.
- We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each side’s case. Based on that, we form a strategy. Oftentimes, there is more than one possible strategy. When that is the case, we assess the risk and reward that is associated with each option — always keeping our clients informed and seeking input on how much risk they are willing to accept.
- We prepare for trial. Our attorneys begin with the assumption that every case will go to trial. As a result, we are thoroughly prepared for anything that could happen in the courtroom.
The reality is that the majority of cases do not reach trial, because it is often in the best interests of both sides to reach an agreement, often through mediation.
The Negotiating Never Ends
A major part of trial preparation is negotiation — communicating with the other side’s lawyers about a settlement. When does negotiating to happen? It can happen at any time, including before and during a trial.
We embrace negotiating and have a passion for it. Unlike many law firms, though, we never accept low offers. We fight for what our clients deserve and remain in close communication throughout the legal process. Call us now at 954-767-9662, or contact us online to start the process.
