Business litigation can be broadly defined as the legal processes for resolving disputes involving a business, and may include lawsuits, arbitration, mediation, and administrative law proceedings. These business disputes may involve customers, vendors, other businesses, members of the public, insurance companies, or state and federal government agencies.

In Maine, business litigation encompasses a variety of legal disputes that businesses may encounter. This includes conflicts with customers, suppliers, other businesses, the public, insurers, and government entities. The resolution of these disputes can occur through several avenues such as lawsuits in state or federal courts, depending on the nature of the dispute and the parties involved. Maine also recognizes alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration and mediation, which are often encouraged to resolve disputes more efficiently and with less cost than traditional litigation. Additionally, administrative law proceedings may be relevant for disputes involving state or federal agencies, where businesses may need to engage with regulatory bodies or appeal against administrative decisions. Maine's court system and statutes provide the framework for these processes, and businesses typically engage attorneys to navigate the complexities of litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
