Contracts are, in simple terms, agreements between two or more parties to engage in some activity in exchange for some benefit. This document legally binds two entities into an agreed obligation. When one party fails to uphold their end of the deal, it is considered a breach of the agreement.
A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care a service provider owes to someone on whose behalf they are working. If such a relationship exists, one party is obligated to act in the best interest of the other.
A legal issue may arise when the fiduciary duty is breached by not putting the client's best interests first. This can take the form of misappropriating a financial opportunity or outright stealing money with which they were entrusted. If you have a case involving a claim that a professional failed to uphold their fiduciary duty, our business law attorney might be able to help.
Commercial disputes are disagreements between businesses. These legal battles can be complex, and the consequences of losing could be catastrophic to your company.
Our law firm represents clients in various commercial disputes. Whether you are a small business owner or the C.E.O. of a sizable corporate entity, we can help you pursue commercial litigation for your case.
A covenant not to compete is an agreement between an employer and an employee. In this document, the employee agrees not to work for a competitor of the employer when the employment relationship ceases.
This type of agreement is usually found in contracts for high-level executives or employees with access to sensitive information. If you have been requested to sign a covenant not to compete or are facing legal action from a former employer, our attorney can help you find the best legal option for your specific situation.
According to A.C.A. § 4-88-107, it is unlawful to advertise a product or service to deceive or mislead the customer. This act also makes it illegal to use false information or "click-baits" when selling a product.
Our business law attorney also tackles issues involving the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. If you have been victimized by false advertising or deceptive trade practices, we can help you submit a claim and retrieve the compensation you deserve.
Employment law is an extensive area that covers multiple legal facets of the employer-employee relationship. Most cases involved in employment issues are a breach of employment contract or related agreements, and workplace discrimination or retaliation.
Whether you faced mistreatment and a business did not hire you when they should have, improper dismissal, wage discrepancies, or other workplace issues, there's potentially a legal solution. Our experienced employment lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue the best one.
Business fraud is a broad term that can encompass many different types of misdeeds. In commercial and business law, fraud generally refers to someone saying something that is untrue in order to get your business and/or money. Fraud cases in Arkansas can occur in real estate matters, operations of businesses and companies in different industries, and investments. This is unfair and wrong.
With our attorney's experience and knowledge in business law, we can help you identify and pursue the best legal options for your case.
Insurance disputes can be related to a failure to pay life insurance benefits, homeowner's claims, commercial policies, etc. We strive to be able to provide legal assistance and representation in all manner of different insurance cases.
An insurance company may deny coverage for losses or damages, leaving you feeling as if you have no recourse. Do not assume you do not have a way to receive the compensation you believe you are owed. If you face an insurance dispute, our law office can help you understand your options and negotiate with your insurer and, if necessary, file suit against them.
Business law is a broad term, and can encompass many types of cases other than those discussed above. If you believe you have a business law case and need an attorney, feel free to reach out for a consultation.
Often the best way to get the best resolution in an Arkansas business litigation case is to be ready and willing to go to court, which our firm prides itself on being. However, many such issues are handled in alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, where facilitators help parties reach agreements on their issues, or arbitration, where a neutral third party will decide the case. Parties can also engage in negotiations without the assistance of a judge or alternative dispute professional. Counsel at our firm are comfortable in all such situations.
Depending on the nature of the case, we accept some Arkansas business litigation matters on a contingency fee basis. For these sorts of cases, our firm is not paid unless we obtain a settlement or court award in your favor. For other matters, we work under a flat or hourly fee arrangement.
Arkansas laws in this area can be complex and hard to navigate. It is our mission at The Law Office of Geoffrey D. Kearney, PLLC to assist business owners and individuals in understanding the relevant legal questions, deal with the other party's attorneys, engage in negotiation or judicial process, and resolve the problem. The goal is to help our clients manage their legal cases so they can protect their futures and to prevent someone else's mistake, greed, or bad act from costing them.
If you are experiencing a legal dispute, please contact The Law Office of Geoffrey D. Kearney, PLLC at (870) 376-3068, for a free consultation.
We would love the opportunity to hear about your case and provide personalize attention where needed most.
