The Commercial Litigation Process in Miami
Navigating the stages of commercial litigation involves several key steps:
- Case Evaluation and Pre-litigation Strategy: Initial assessment of the case to define the strategy, potential outcomes, and costs involved.
- Pleadings: Each party files initial documentation, which includes complaints, answers, and possibly counterclaims.
