Common Types of Business Litigation in Oklahoma

1. Breach of Contract

Broken promises, missed payments, and delivery failures are at the core of many business lawsuits. We review the agreement, analyze damages, and enforce your rights in court or through arbitration.

2. Partnership and Shareholder Disputes

Family businesses and closely held companies can be especially vulnerable to internal conflict. We represent clients in buyout negotiations, dissolution proceedings, and claims for breach of fiduciary duty.

3. Trade Secret and Unfair Competition

In a digital age, protecting your confidential information and proprietary business assets is critical. We pursue and defend against claims of misappropriation, unfair competition, and IP theft.

4. Real Estate and Leasing Disputes

From rent arrears to property damage, our team resolves complex real estate conflicts for commercial landlords, tenants, and investors.

Case Studies: Results That Matter

• Shareholder Buyout for a Family Business: Our team guided a family-owned company through a contentious shareholder exit, protecting the company’s assets and resolving personal conflict.
