In business and in life, not everyone honors their word. Whether someone owes you a large sum of money, refuses to fulfill the terms of a contract, or your company is in a serious dispute with another business, civil litigation gives you the power to enforce your rights and recover what you're owed.
At our firm, we represent individuals and businesses in high-value legal disputes across New York and New York City. With a focus on contract enforcement, unpaid debts, and business-to-business litigation, we help our clients secure financial recovery—and keep their operations strong and stable.
What Is Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation refers to legal disputes between individuals or entities where money damages or specific performance (forcing someone to do or stop doing something) is sought. Unlike criminal cases, civil litigation is about protecting your interests, your business, and your bottom line.
Common examples of civil litigation include:
A contractor or freelancer who completed work but was never paid
A company that delivered goods or services and is still waiting on payment
A broken contract where the other party failed to perform or follow through
A business partner who violated an agreement or misappropriated funds
Vendors, clients, or service providers refusing to honor terms
