Aggressive and practical business litigation services

In the world of business, there sooner or later will be a transaction that erupts into a legal dispute. When that happens, you need capable legal counsel who can immediately take decisive steps to protect your interests. A business litigation attorney can devise creative resolutions of controversies, and, if necessary, advocate aggressively in court in your behalf. At Yanagida & Associates in Maui, we have the knowledge, experience and skill to deliver the results your business needs.

Experience resolving a wide range of controversies

The litigation law firm you choose must be able to manage disputes that arise in various aspects of your enterprise, such as:

Ownership and corporate governance — Lawsuits may allege violations of corporate bylaws or breaches of fiduciary duty.
Compliance — Liability may ensue for alleged errors and misstatements in required reporting.
Partnership and shareholder disputes — Equity holders in a company may contest management’s policies or actions.
Professional liability — A lawsuit may allege substandard performance by a licensed professional, such as an accountant, architect, engineer or attorney.
Post-acquisition disputes — Discrepancies may come to light after a merger or acquisition.
Breach of contract — Lawsuits can allege nonperformance or substandard performance of contractual obligations.
Commercial disputes — A broad variety of controversies can arise under the Uniform Commercial Code.
Employment law claims — Employees may allege sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour violations, discrimination and other workplace violations.
Unfair business practices — Lawsuits can allege infringement of intellectual property, trade secret misappropriation, violations of covenants not to compete, antitrust violations and other causes of action.

Our litigation team has experience across a wide range of industries, so we can quickly grasp the essential issues in any business controversy. We dive deeply into the facts of every dispute, since the smallest details can make a difference in resolving a conflict. Once we thoroughly review and assess the facts and circumstance, we explain how the law applies and suggest a strategy that can best deliver the results you seek.

Seeking optimal remedies in breach of contract disputes

When a breach of contract is evident, you have numerous concerns. Can you mitigate losses? Can you salvage the affected project? Can you resolve the issue and maintain the business relationship? What damages are possible to recover? Our attorneys have the experience to assess the situation and pursue a resolution that upholds your rights and allows your business to move forward.

Potential remedies in a breach of contract dispute include:

Damages — The nonbreaching party is entitled to recover for losses that were reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was formed.
Liquidated damages — The contract might specify amounts that compensate the nonbreaching party for the other party’s failure to perform.
Rescission and reformation —This remedy releases parties from obligations under the old agreement and binds them under a rewritten contract that more accurately reflects their deal.
Restitution — When a nonbreaching party has partially performed its duties under the contract, the breaching party may pay the value of that work as a cure for the breach.
Equitable relief — Courts sometimes order specific performance of a contractual obligation or may issue an injunction to prevent further harm.

Our business litigation attorneys examine controversies from all angles to determine the best options for our clients. We offer a knowledgeable appraisal of each situation along with litigation strategies focused on achieving the results our clients need.
