Business & Commercial Litigation in the Bay Area

Full-Service Business Law Counsel for Companies, Founders & Investors

When a business dispute emerges, the attorney who already knows your contracts, governance structure, and operating history is a different resource than one meeting your business for the first time. 

At Strategy Law, LLP, the team that advises Silicon Valley companies on entity formation, contracts, and governance is the same team that steps into litigation when a dispute requires it. That continuity shapes how we assess risk, frame strategy, and pursue resolution. We’ve served businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors throughout San Jose and California since 2014, and we hold a Martindale-Hubbell® AV® Rating reflecting peer recognition for professional excellence and ethical standards.

We offer virtual consultations for convenient access across San Jose, Silicon Valley, and the Greater Bay Area, and our team provides bilingual representation in both English and Spanish.

If your business is facing an active dispute or a threatened claim, contact Strategy Law, LLP at (408) 478-4104 to schedule a consultation. Litigation matters require a minimum $10,000 retainer.

Business & Commercial Litigation Matters We Handle

Commercial disputes take many forms, and the legal complexity often matches the stakes. We represent clients across the full range of business and commercial litigation matters that arise in San Jose and throughout Silicon Valley.

• Business Disputes: Conflicts between companies, partners, vendors, and counterparties arising from business relationships and commercial dealings.
• Contract Disputes: Breach of contract claims arise when a party fails to perform a material contractual obligation. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants.
• Partnership & Shareholder Disputes: Disagreements over equity, distributions, management authority, or allegations of breach of fiduciary duty among co-owners.
• Corporate Governance Disputes: Conflicts involving board authority, officer conduct, voting rights, or an entity’s internal governance.
• Business Tort Claims: Civil wrongs committed in a commercial context, including interference with business relationships and economic harm caused by wrongful conduct.
• Breach of Fiduciary Duty: Claims against officers, directors, or partners who failed to act in the best interest of the company or its stakeholders.
• Fraud and Misrepresentation: Matters involving material misstatements, concealment of facts, or deceptive conduct that caused financial harm.
• Unfair Competition and Trade Practices: Claims under California Business and Professions Code section 17200, which provides a broad right of action for unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices.
• Class and Complex Commercial Litigation: High-stakes, multi-party, or procedurally complex matters, including cases that may be designated as complex under California Rules of Court rule 3.400.

We advise clients across industries, from early-stage startups and closely held businesses to established corporations and institutional investors. For disputes centered more directly on real property, see our Real Estate Litigation page.

A Business-Minded Approach to Litigation

Litigation is rarely just a legal problem. It carries operational, financial, and strategic consequences that affect how a company functions during and after a dispute. We evaluate all of those dimensions alongside the legal claims themselves, because the right litigation strategy has to account for where your business is going, not only where it stands today.

We build genuine relationships with the clients we represent. That means being approachable when you have questions, communicating clearly about developments in your matter, and staying invested in outcomes that align with your long-term interests.
