Civil Law and Commercial Law pertain to the bodies of law covering a broad scope of legal matters involving individuals and businesses. While commercial law encompasses a wide scope of business entity relationships, civil law concerns the relationship between individuals or individuals and businesses.
We represent clients in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and across Texas in a diverse range of civil and commercial law matters.
CIVIL LAW
Civil law relates to contracts and suits that do not involve criminal charges. A civil action is generally brought by a person who has been injured or otherwise suffered loss as the result of a wrong, which only directly affected him, such as negligence or breach of employment contract.
While civil litigation is undertaken to reclaim money, property or services owed, civil action may also involve cases of:
- Fraud
- Breach of Non-disclosure Agreements
- Violations of Fair Trade Practices
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty Contractor/Builder Controversies
- Buy-Sell Agreements
- Deferred Compensation Agreements
