New Jersey Business Law Attorneys

Small businesses are the heart and soul of this country. Competition with large corporations often pushes down profit margins to razor thin levels. Thus, expensive litigation can cripple a small business. This makes effective, aggressive and cost-effective representation important. However, in the world of business litigation, representing large corporations and municipalities can be the main focus for some attorneys as these clients can have an endless supply of billable hours and the money to pay for them. As a result, small businesses can be thought of as "lesser clients" who get pushed to the back burner. That's where our New Jersey business law attorneys come in.

Courts in New Jersey

A small business owner can find themselves in several different courts in New Jersey. If the dispute is over money damages, you will be in New Jersey Superior Court. If the amount if under $15,000, you will be in the New Jersey Superior Court, Special Civil Part. If the amount is over $15,000, you will be in the New Jersey Superior Court, Civil Part.   In New Jersey, special civil cases are handled much faster than other civil cases in New Jersey. However, not all disputes concern money damages. Some parties may be seeking to enforce their rights; that is, they want a court to order a defendant to do something.  In New Jersey, these cases are called General Equity cases. Due to the complexity of these cases, usually some of the best judges sit in the General Equity Part.

Administrative Courts

In New Jersey, the executive branch has numerous departments and agencies that can stop a business from doing something, force them to do something or fine them for numerous violations. When a business owner disputes their actions, the case is brought before a New Jersey Administrative Law Judge. This is a completely separate court system than the New Jersey Judiciary. There is no jury and the ALJ issues a decision at the end of the case. A New Jersey executive department or agency then has the power to accept or reject the decision. Some of the entities that a small business may encounter include the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development and the New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs.  Our team of tough, smart New Jersey business law attorneys can represent you in any administrative court in New Jersey.
