Business Disputes We Handle in Midland

Commercial litigation covers a wide range of disputes. Below are the primary categories we handle for Midland businesses and business owners.

Breach of Contract Claims

Contract disputes are among the most common sources of commercial litigation in Texas. We handle breach of contract claims involving service agreements, vendor relationships, purchase and sale contracts, partnership and joint venture agreements, employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and lease agreements, covering disputes over performance, payment, and contract interpretation.

Fraud & Business Misrepresentation

When a party is deceived into a contract or business relationship, the resulting harm is often substantial. We represent businesses pursuing fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, and fraudulent inducement claims. We also handle tortious interference claims when former employees, competitors, or outside parties disrupt existing contracts or business relationships.

Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act Claims

The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) prohibits false, misleading, or deceptive business practices and provides remedies for businesses harmed by them. Businesses that qualify as “consumers” under the Act (generally those with assets below $25 million) may bring DTPA claims when harmed by such conduct. We handle DTPA claims on behalf of eligible businesses.

Partnership Disputes & Business Departures

Leaving a business partner or separating from a closely held corporation or LLC is rarely straightforward. These situations typically involve disputes over valuation, ownership percentages, fiduciary duties, and the division of business assets. Non-compete and non-solicitation obligations add another layer because Texas law imposes specific enforceability requirements under the Texas Covenants Not to Compete Act. We represent business owners on both sides of these disputes.
