Legal Malpractice in Business Litigation
In some business situations, litigation may be the best way to resolve disputes. Contract disputes, shareholder disputes and business dissolutions are just a few of the areas where business litigation may be appropriate to obtain the necessary outcome. Unfortunately, business litigation attorneys can add to the problems of their clients by committing legal malpractice.
Attorney Mark W. Long represents individuals who have suffered significant damages as the result of business litigation malpractice in the state of Texas. Legal malpractice may result from a variety of actions and/or inactions and may entitle clients to pursue compensation for their damages. If you believe that your attorney committed legal malpractice, we can assess your case and determine if pursuing compensation is in your best interests.

Most Common Types of Business Litigation Malpractice
In cases of business litigation, the most common types of mistakes that may qualify as legal malpractice are:
- Administrative errors, including failure to meet deadlines and clerical errors
- Substantive errors, including conflicts of interest or a failure to understand the legal area of business litigation
- Client errors, including not following client instructions or improper withdrawal
- Intentional errors, including fraud and dishonest communications with clients
Simply being dissatisfied with your attorney and/or the outcome of your case is not grounds for a malpractice suit, but actions that fall below established standards of legal professionalism and lead to damages may allow you to seek compensation.
