What Commercial Contract Arbitration and Litigation Involves<\/h2>\n

A commercial contract dispute is a disagreement between businesses about what a contract requires or whether it was followed. Common examples include nonpayment, breach of contract, disputed work, and disagreements over contract terms.<\/p>\n

This page is for business owners, managers, and entrepreneurs facing these disputes. Contractors and subcontractors in construction disputes fit here too.<\/p>\n

Start by pulling the contract’s dispute clause. That clause often decides whether the matter goes to arbitration or to court. In Basulto v.
