Business-to-business litigation can take a variety of forms, but one thing remains constant: business litigation requires the right legal counsel. Routine commercial matters require skill, experience, and a commitment to serve the client’s interests efficiently. A high stakes “bet the company” lawsuit, where a company’s survival depends on the outcome of the dispute, requires sound, aggressive counsel, a deep knowledge of the substantive law, as well as strategic acumen. Serna Vethan’s capable business litigators operate in this full range, delivering results and clarity, in the face of all business legal challenges, to clients of all sizes in Harris County, Bexar County, Dallas County, and throughout the country.
At Serna Vethan, our experienced business lawyers have successfully represented commercial clients in state and federal courts, and before arbitration panels of the American Arbitration Association. We always work hard to obtain the best possible results for our clients.
Some law firms just work files or manage risk, touting their predictability. In contrast, the lawyers at Serna Vethan actually try and arbitrate cases and have an outstanding public record to back up our claims. If you have been dragged into a lawsuit, or put in a position where you must initiate litigation, speak with VLF about how we can provide the legal counsel and advocacy your business needs to compete at the next level.

Most of the business disputes our clients encounter are conflicts between businesses, such as failures to perform or provide services agreed upon, and other breaches of contract or warranty. Regardless of the specific issue in dispute, our business litigation lawyer team helps our clients to prosecute and defend complex business and commercial law matters, such as the following:
