Business & Civil Litigation

The attorneys at Adcock & Associates understand how important it is to protect what you’ve built. Whether it’s your business’ reputation or its bottom line, we know how hard you’ve worked to earn it, and we pride ourselves on working just as hard to help you protect and defend it.

When you’re in business, disputes happen. How well they are resolved can turn on how well you are represented – both at the negotiating table and in the courtroom. Your choice of attorney is critical in handling these complex cases, and you should have an experienced and zealous advocate equipped with the skills and resources necessary to successfully represent your interests on the often uneven playing field of business litigation.

The attorneys at Adcock & Associates are experienced at handling a wide variety of business disputes in mediation, arbitration, and all levels of North Carolina’s trial courts, including complex cases before the North Carolina Business Court.

Business litigation varies in complexity, scope, and size. Our attorneys are courtroom lawyers, and have decades of experience representing small businesses, individuals, corporate directors and officers, and shareholders in many types of disputes, from business torts like fraud and breach of fiduciary duty to commercial actions such as breach of contract and unfair and deceptive trade practices.

Litigation is time-consuming, expensive, and a distraction from your company’s normal operations.

Our attorneys begin by evaluating your matter and developing a plan designed to achieve a swift and effective resolution without resorting to litigation.

When litigation becomes unavoidable, we pride ourselves on our reputation for handling litigation on behalf of our clients in an aggressive, efficient, and professional manner. If you are being sued, our attorneys can help you analyze the merits of the claims against you and work with you to develop a solid defense strategy.

If you are weighing whether to attempt litigation to enforce your own rights, our attorneys will evaluate your issue and potential claims to determine not only the merits of your claims and the likelihood of success, but also whether the expense involved with obtaining any potential remedy makes good financial sense for your business.

Our clients appreciate that we are outcome-focused, and work closely with our business clients to manage their litigation in a goal-oriented and cost-effective way to achieve the best possible results at a reasonable cost.

Let us partner with you on the legal matters facing your business, so you can get back to focusing on what you do best – growing your business.
