How Our Firm Manages Business Litigation
At Schneiders & Associates, we guide our clients through all phases of business litigation, including:
- Filing a complaint: The process begins with filing a formal complaint, which outlines the dispute and desired outcomes.
- Discovery: Both parties exchange relevant information and documents. This phase is critical for gathering evidence and preparing for trial.
- Motions: Before trial, we may file motions to resolve the case or limit issues for trial.
- Trial: If a settlement is not reached, the case goes to trial, where each side presents its arguments and evidence.
- Judgment: The court delivers a decision that may include financial compensation or other remedies.

Alternatives To Business Litigation
At Schneiders & Associates, we encourage alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration as they often provide more cost-effective and less adversarial solutions.
Mediation
Mediation involves a neutral third party, known as a mediator, who helps both sides reach a voluntary, negotiated resolution. The mediator does not decide the case but facilitates a dialogue to find common ground and mutual benefits. This highly flexible method can preserve business relationships by fostering cooperative problem-solving.
Arbitration
Arbitration is a more formal process where a neutral arbitrator acts similarly to a judge but in a less formal setting. The arbitrator listens to both parties’ arguments and evidence before making a binding decision. Arbitration is typically faster than court litigation and can be kept confidential.
Both mediation and arbitration can be tailored to your business’s specific needs, providing a discreet and efficient way to resolve disputes. Our team is well-equipped to guide you through either process and protect your interests.
