Every business owner wants to do everything they can to move their business forward. This involved keeping employees happy, solving customer problems, keeping a close eye on the business’ finances, and managing the day-to-day details that make a business tick. If you’re a business owner, one of the last things you need is a wrench thrown into the system in the form of a court case.
Sometimes, all it takes for a business to face a court case is disagreements between partners and shareholders. Other times, it’s scenarios where contracts are broken or trade secrets are shared.
