Litigation & Arbitration

At Crestview Legal, we represent franchisors, business owners, and investors with a balanced, business-minded approach. Our firm is experienced in handling litigation, arbitration, and mediation in a variety of forums, and we partner with trusted local counsel when disputes arise outside our primary jurisdictions.

We understand that legal disputes don’t happen in a vacuum—they impact operations, reputation, and long-term goals. That’s why we focus on resolving conflicts in a way that aligns with our clients’ broader business interests.

We advise and represent clients in a range of commercial disputes, including:

• Business fraud and misrepresentation
• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Unfair competition and trade secret issues
• Breach of contract claims
• Violations of the duty of good faith and fair dealing
• Franchise-related statutory claims and enforcement matters

We litigate aggressively when necessary, but always with strategy, discipline, and your broader business goals in mind. We often help clients explore alternative dispute resolution, including negotiation and mediation, and were often successful in negotiating creative business resolutions to help clients keep their business relationship.

Our goal is not just to win cases—but to help our clients make informed decisions. We offer honest, practical advice on risks, costs, and outcomes. When litigation is the best option, we advocate vigorously. When negotiation is wiser, we help clients reach effective resolutions with minimal disruption.

• We assess legal exposure and advise on likely outcomes
• We develop tailored strategies based on the facts, the forum, and the client’s goals
• We coordinate with local counsel where needed to ensure efficient, jurisdiction-specific representation
• We communicate clearly and promptly at every step

Let Crestview Legal help you navigate it strategically.
