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 Tennessee, 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. Alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration and mediation are also commonly used to resolve business disputes outside of court, offering a potentially quicker and less costly resolution. Additionally, administrative law proceedings may be relevant for disputes involving state or federal regulatory agencies. Tennessee follows the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure for litigation in state courts, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for matters in federal courts. Businesses operating in Tennessee should be aware of these processes and consider seeking advice from an attorney with experience in business litigation to navigate these complex legal issues.
