Business litigation encompasses a wide range of issues. The types of litigation include director, stockholder or partner disputes, simple and complex contract disputes, derivative suits, claims involving breach of fiduciary duties, oppression of minority stockholders, usurpation of business opportunities, exercise of the business judgment rule, Title VII discrimination, sexual harassment cases, personal injury actions, employment contracts, unfair business practices, covenants against competition, injunction actions, zoning disputes, and real estate litigation.
