Business Litigation
Resolving disputes
Contract disputes can threaten the stability and future of any business, and resolving them efficiently requires attorneys who are as prepared for the courtroom as they are for the negotiating table. At Simmons Dallas PLLC, our business litigation attorneys bring extensive experience resolving a wide range of commercial disputes, and in every case we prepare as though we are going to trial. That level of preparation gives us a decisive advantage at every stage, from preliminary negotiations through final verdict.
Nearly every facet of the business world is governed by contract, and our attorneys are well-versed in the language and terms that drive all types of business agreements, including contracts between businesses for services or products, partnership agreements, non-compete and confidentiality agreements, buy-sell agreements, and commercial leases and real estate contracts.
Whether you believe the other party has breached your contract or you are defending against a breach of contract accusation, we are equipped to protect your interests at every turn. Our track record speaks for itself, including a $9.6 million verdict secured on behalf of a small business against a larger corporate entity.
Negotiators
and litigators
Whether you need a legal advisor to review a contract before signing, determine liability in an existing dispute, or aggressive representation in active business litigation, our attorneys are equipped to handle it. We represent clients across a full range of commercial disputes, including contract disagreements, employment law matters, workers' compensation issues, and wrongful denial of insurance coverage, including crop insurance claims.
The best time to engage a business litigation attorney is before a conflict arises. By consulting our team early, we can identify contractual vulnerabilities, flag potential points of dispute, and help you avoid the costly mistakes that lead to litigation. If a dispute has already developed, our attorneys move quickly to resolve it through mediation or trial, whatever path best protects your interests.
Insurance disputes deserve particular attention. These policies are often highly complex, and insurance companies do not always honor the coverage their clients are entitled to. Our attorneys have more than 25 years of experience negotiating with insurance companies on behalf of policyholders, and we are fully prepared to take your case to court to enforce your rights under your policy if negotiation falls short.
Breach of contract
A breach of contract can disrupt operations, damage business relationships, and cost your company significantly in time and money. When a dispute arises, you need attorneys who understand both the technical language of commercial agreements and the litigation strategy required to enforce or defend them.
Our business litigation attorneys have extensive experience resolving breach of contract claims across a wide range of agreement types, including contracts between businesses for services or products, partnership agreements, non-compete and confidentiality agreements, buy-sell agreements, and commercial leases and real estate contracts. In every case, we prepare as though we are going to trial, giving us a distinct advantage whether the matter is resolved through negotiation or in the courtroom.
Whether you are pursuing a breach of contract claim or defending against one, our attorneys are ready to protect your business interests at every stage of the process.
Denial of insurance
You pay your premiums to be protected. When an insurance company wrongfully denies a valid claim, it is not just frustrating, it can be financially devastating. Our attorneys have extensive experience challenging wrongful insurance denials across a wide range of policy types, and we know how to hold insurers accountable when they fail to honor their obligations.
Our team is well-versed in the complex terms and conditions that govern insurance policies, and we will conduct a thorough evaluation of your claim to determine the strength of your case and the best path forward. We handle wrongful denial claims involving health insurance, life insurance, and business insurance, as well as a particular focus on agricultural insurance disputes.
We proudly represent farmers, ranchers, growers, and other agricultural operations throughout Mississippi and Tennessee who have been wrongfully denied crop insurance coverage for losses caused by fire, hail, flooding, and other storm damage. If your insurer has denied a claim you believe is covered under your policy, contact our attorneys today to protect your rights and pursue the recovery you are owed.
