Disputes between businesses often arise in the course of business. Some of these disputes are simple; many of them are complex and involve hundreds if not thousands of pages of documents. As with any other case, an experienced trial lawyer can help you evaluate the business dispute that you are facing and give you advice on the best course to pursue to resolve the dispute in a manner favorable to you.

Business Litigation Cases
Remember that each case is tried on its own merits and that a successful result in one case does not guarantee a successful result in your case.

Alabama Farmers Cooperative v. Bobby Davis, et al.
Verdict of $15,400,000. A jury awarded $9,600,000 in compensatory damages and $5,800,000 in punitive damages (Circuit Court of Morgan County, 2003). Dixieland Trucking, a division of Alabama Farmers Cooperative, brought this case against its former general manager and several companies with whom the manager had business dealings.
The former manager admitted embezzlement, falsifying financial statements, and deceiving management at Alabama Farmers Cooperative. Davis leased unneeded trucks from defendants and then hid leases from his own bosses. Defendants attempted to purchase Dixieland when deceptions were uncovered.
Plaintiff brought suit under claims of fraud, intentional interference with business relations, breach of fiduciary duty, and other claims. The verdict came after a three-week trial.
