Handling Disputes Over Leases, Other Contracts, Competition and Employment

Whatever the nature and substance of your business dispute, we will prioritize maximum protection of your rights and target a favorable outcome through negotiations or mediation if possible. We will not pressure you to pursue costly litigation — although attorney Mummert is a proven trial lawyer — and our foremost goal is helping you emerge with the confidence to maintain an ongoing relationship with our firm.

Our real-world legal experience extends to many types of business disputes including:

• Contract disputes including allegations of commercial lease violations by either the landlord or tenant
• Other breach-of-contract allegations such as the failure to deliver promised goods or services
• Employment disputes including disputes over the use of company assets and alleged violations of a non-compete or nondisclosure agreement
• Competitive disputes including tortious interference or unfair competition
• Partnership disputes that may call for a soundly executed business dissolution or negotiated division of assets

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Full-scale litigation is not a remedy to every business dispute. In fact, many businesses find it better to resolve their issues through alternative dispute resolution. Commonly referred to as ADR, alternative dispute resolution refers to the techniques and meetings conducted outside of Maryland’s judicial system. These methods offer a quicker, less expensive means to exercise your legal rights and reach mutual agreements. Tim Mummert is experienced in arbitration, mediation and collaborative civil law. He can advise you of the proper avenues to resolve your dispute and represent you in either forum.
