Business & Commercial Litigation
Strategic, steady representation for high-stakes business disputes.
At HLH Attorneys, we represent business owners, partners, and executives across Oregon and Washington in complex commercial litigation. Whether it’s a contract that’s gone sideways, a partner who’s acting in bad faith, or a vendor dispute threatening your operations, our attorneys know how to assess risk, protect your interests, and fight for your best outcome—without making the problem bigger than it needs to be.
We’ve built a reputation for handling business conflicts with focus and precision. Our job is to help you resolve the dispute and get back to business.
Our Approach to Business Litigation
We focus on what matters: protecting your interests and moving the business forward. Every move we make is grounded in experience, timing, and a deep understanding of what’s at stake for your company.
When you work with HLH, you get:
-
Experienced litigators who know the courtroom—and how to avoid it when possible.
-
Clear, honest guidance rooted in your goals, not ours.
-
Well-prepared arguments supported by real documentation and legal precedent.
-
Practical solutions that take into account the broader implications for your business.
Whether we’re sending a demand letter, preparing for trial, or resolving matters through mediation or arbitration, our goal is the same: position you for the best possible outcome with the least amount of disruption.
We Handle a Wide Range of Business Disputes, Including:
Breach of Contract
When a party fails to live up to its obligations, we pursue damages or enforcement based on the contract’s terms and the law.
Partnership & Shareholder Disputes
We represent business owners in internal conflicts involving fiduciary duty, mismanagement, and disputes over control or equity.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
When a corporate officer, partner, or trustee acts against the best interests of the business or its stakeholders, we hold them accountable.
Commercial Lease Disputes
We advise both landlords and tenants in lease enforcement, defaults, and real estate-related commercial conflicts.
Vendor & Supply Chain Disputes
Broken contracts, non-performance, and delivery failures can disrupt business operations. We help you hold the right parties responsible.
Trade Secrets & Unfair Competition
If a former employee or competitor is misusing your proprietary information or violating a non-compete, we’ll take swift legal action.
