For more than 30 years, Sack Rosendin Inc. has specialized in representing business owners, land developers, contractors, corporate entities, and individuals in contract disputes and litigation. Our civil litigation attorneys have earned recognition for delivering exceptional results that protect our clients’ business interests.
We are experienced trial attorneys. This means you are not paying us to learn our job. We utilize our experience to determine which strategies will truly be in our clients’ best interests. We understand that legal services are a necessary expense in the course of business that you need to control. That is why we are dedicated to providing cost-efficient and effective outcomes for your business endeavors.
Skilled Litigators And Negotiators
California is a mandatory alternative dispute resolution (ADR) state. Whether you are the plaintiff or a defendant in your litigation case, a negotiated settlement is often the most likely outcome. In most cases, settlement is in your best interests as it provides certainty while avoiding the time and expense of trial.
By preparing our cases for summary judgment or trial, we show opponents we are ready to go to trial. We are tough, intelligent negotiators with experience at the national litigation level. When a negotiated settlement is not possible, we go to court to win.
We understand that a business dispute can hinder your production. It can also slow down your financial gains. That is why we quickly and effectively work to resolve your issues as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Litigation
Our clients often have questions about the litigation process and how it can best serve their business interests. Below are answers to common questions we receive.
Why is litigation more suitable for resolving certain business law matters than mediation or arbitration?
Litigation provides formal discovery procedures to gather comprehensive evidence. It creates binding, enforceable court judgments with appeal rights. It is particularly valuable when dealing with uncooperative parties and complex legal issues. It is also helpful when there is an urgent need for injunctive relief.
What is the typical process and timeline for a business lawsuit in California?
A business lawsuit in California starts with filing a complaint and entering a discovery phase that typically lasts six months to over a year. After mandatory settlement conferences, the case may proceed to trial if the parties cannot resolve. The entire process usually takes 18 months to three years from filing to resolution, depending on case complexity.
How can a business litigation lawsuit compensate my business for its losses?
Business litigation can recover compensatory damages for lost profits, unpaid contract amounts, and other direct losses. It may also cover consequential damages for foreseeable harm. Courts may also award equitable remedies. These may include specific performance or injunctive relief. In cases of fraud or malicious conduct, punitive damages may be available.
