Commercial Business Disputes
When you take a case to trial, you want to make sure you have as many odds in your favor as possible. That’s why it’s essential to make certain your commercial law attorney can represent you aggressively in a courtroom situation. At SEG Law, we have experience in courtroom litigation. Contact us if you or your business is threatened by or are considering action in legal issues such as:
Contractual Disputes
To protect the rights of each party, business relationships should be defined and conducted according to a contract. A contract details the responsibilities of each party, and sets out what behaviors are considered harmful to the other party.
When one party believes the other has broken the contracted agreement, a contractual dispute arises. SEG Law’s commercial attorneys know the requirements of every step of the contractual dispute process, and offer you sound legal advice and representation. Contact us today to discuss the details of your case for free.
Civil Fraud
When a commercial entity intentionally makes a false representation of a material fact, such as the safety or durability of a product or service, with the intent to deceive, and that false representation causes a party financial or physical harm, a civil fraud, also known as “tort” has occurred. The law provides remedy for those who have been harmed through civil fraud, and our commercial lawyers will represent clients in an effort to receive compensation for negligence.

Breach of Fiduciary Duty
In a fiduciary relationship, a Fiduciary (or Trustee) has a duty to protect the interests of the Principal (or Beneficiary) above the interests of anyone else, including his or her own. Some examples of fiduciary relationships include Real Estate Agents and their clients, or Attorneys and their clients.
When a Fiduciary breaks one of these three rules, a breach of fiduciary duty has occurred and the Principal has a right under the law to seek remedy:
1. Conflict of Interest and Duty—If a Fiduciary puts himself in a position where his duty to the Principal conflicts with his own interests, a conflict of interest and duty has occurred.
2. Conflict of Duty and Duty—If a Fiduciary puts himself in a position where his duty to the Principal conflicts with his duty to another Fiduciary, a conflict of duty and duty has occurred.
3. No Profit—If a Fiduciary receives any profit from his duty, or any profit from any opportunity related to his duty, and does not report that profit to the Principal he has broken the No Profit rule. He also breaks the No Profit rule if he reports the profit to the Principal but the Principal does not consent to him keeping the profit and he keeps it anyway.
