Business litigation is a lawsuit or arbitration over a company’s contracts, ownership, or business relationships. Ayala Law PA focuses on these disputes for businesses in Tampa Bay and Hillsborough County, in Florida courts and arbitration. Our bona fide office is in Tampa, at 1646 W Snow Ave. Eduardo A. Maura is the responsible lawyer for this page.<\/p>\n

What Business Litigation Covers for Tampa Bay Companies<\/h2>\n

Business litigation covers disputes a company cannot settle across the table. The dispute may go to a court or to an arbitrator.<\/p>\n

Owners, partners, shareholders, contractors, subcontractors, and real estate investors often face these disputes. We serve businesses in Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and across Hillsborough County.<\/p>\n

Florida law also limits where a case can be filed. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 47.011<\/a>, actions must be brought only in the county where the defendant resides, where the cause of action accrued, or where the property in litigation is located; this section does not apply to actions against nonresidents.<\/p>\n

Arbitration is another route. Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 682.02<\/a>, a written agreement to arbitrate existing or future disputes is valid and enforceable, except on grounds that allow any contract to be revoked.<\/p>\n

Disputes often start long before a lawsuit. A late invoice or a fight between partners can often be addressed early, when more options may still be open.<\/p>\n

If you’re not sure whether your problem is a litigation matter, reach out and talk it through with our team.<\/p>\n\n
