What to Do in a Business Dispute?

The first step when involved in a business dispute in Spartanburg, South Carolina should be to review any documents relevant to the matter, such as contracts. It might have already been determined in these documents how disputes will be handled. If the contracts do not have resolution clauses, or neither business has any recorded documents relevant to the dispute, then the matter might need to be taken to court. Where the parties have not agreed beforehand about how to handle disputes, legal principles have been designed to determine the resolution. When they are called upon, South Carolina courts try to discover the best resolution by looking to the facts of the specific situation presented. The fields of contract law and dispute resolution are defined by local state law. Spartanburg Lawyers are accustomed to handling disputes under South Carolina law, and can offer personalized advice for all types of business disputes. An attorney's knowledge of the law may also lead to a more streamlined discussion with the other business about how to resolve the dispute. Negotiations might even enable you to resolve the dispute without going to court.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Disagreements in contracts must often be resolved outside of court according to a dispute resolution clause. Methods of resolving a conflict outside of court are called Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR. These methods include Mediation, Arbitration and Collaboration. ADR eradicates the need to go to court, while attempting to reach the same resolution that a court would have. Different types of ADR involve their own procedures, however, and they often include a neutral third party making a decision based on local law. If your business dispute is to be resolved by ADR, an attorney experienced with these methods in Spartanburg can counsel you throughout the process and develop the case you will present.
