Business Litigation

When a dispute threatens what you've built, you need counsel who prepares every case to win — and settles only from strength.

Litigation built around your business outcome

Lawsuits are business problems before they are legal ones. Itkin Law represents plaintiffs and defendants in business and civil litigation across California state and federal courts — breach of contract, partnership and shareholder disputes, fraud, unfair competition, and commercial torts.

Our approach is simple: build the case as if it is going to trial from day one. Thorough early case assessment, disciplined discovery, and aggressive motion practice create the leverage that produces favorable settlements — and win verdicts when settlement isn't the answer.

Disputes we litigate

  • Breach of contract and breach of warranty claims
  • Partnership, LLC member, and shareholder disputes
  • Business fraud and misrepresentation
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Unfair competition and trade secret matters
  • Collections and commercial debt disputes
  • Business torts, including interference with contract
  • Pre-litigation demand letters and dispute resolution

Trial-ready, settlement-smart

Most cases should settle — but only on terms that reflect the strength of your position. We give you a candid assessment of exposure and upside early, then revisit it at every stage so litigation spend always tracks a business rationale. Mediation, arbitration, and trial are all tools; the strategy is yours.

Common questions

How long does business litigation take in California?

Most California business cases resolve within twelve to eighteen months, though complex matters can take longer. Many resolve earlier through demand letters, mediation, or targeted motions — we push for the fastest path that doesn't sacrifice leverage.

What does business litigation cost?

After a free case assessment, we scope a litigation budget with you and revisit it at each phase. You will never be surprised by an invoice.

Do you represent both plaintiffs and defendants?

Yes. We prosecute claims for businesses that have been wronged and defend companies and owners who have been sued.
