IS IT POSSIBLE TO AVOID BUSINESS LITIGATION?

Stachler Harmon Attorneys at Law July 5, 2019

No business wants to become involved in a dispute. Not only can it be costly from a financial perspective, but it can also damage public perceptions of the organization, increase internal conflicts and distract from the key business goals.

If your organization has become involved in a dispute, it is important that you try to reduce the risk of litigation early on. It's better to try to prevent a fire than to wait for it to ignite. The following are some key ways that you can put measures in place to avoid business litigation in the future.

Get an Objective View on The Situation

When emotions become heated, it's so easy to defend ourselves and aggressively believe that we are right. But this says nothing about how the law would view the situation. This is why it is important to step back and consider who is in the right objectively speaking. You may want to seek guidance from a third party to help you do this.

Identify Risk

All disputes present some level of risk to the company in question. However, the level of risk will differ between disputes quite greatly. You should evaluate the potential consequences of the dispute, as well as the evidence and resources that could be utilized.

Improve Communications Between Stakeholders

Poor communication is often the cause of a dispute, but effective communication can be all that is needed to resolve them. For this reason, good communication should never be underestimated.

If you are dealing with a dispute in your organization, it is important that you take immediate action to address it appropriately.
