Business Litigation Services in Texas
When Texas businesses face legal disputes, they need more than attorneys—they need strategic partners who understand both law and business. Mark A. Alexander, P.C. provides comprehensive business litigation services throughout Texas, representing companies in Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and surrounding areas. For over 20 years, we’ve handled complex commercial disputes where significant financial interests and business relationships are at stake.

Comprehensive Business Litigation Services
Business Litigation
Our general business litigation services handle disputes that threaten your company’s operations, relationships, or financial interests. From corporate governance conflicts to shareholder disputes, we represent Texas businesses in complex commercial litigation requiring both legal expertise and business judgment.
Business disputes rarely resolve themselves. Early strategic legal counsel can often prevent costly litigation or position your case favorably if trial becomes necessary. We handle matters ranging from small business disagreements to multi-million dollar corporate conflicts.
Partnership Disputes
When business partners can no longer work together, partnership disputes threaten everything you’ve built. We handle partnership dissolutions, shareholder oppression claims, LLC membership disputes, and complete business divorce proceedings. These sensitive matters require protecting business value while resolving fundamental conflicts between owners.
From negotiating buyouts to pursuing judicial dissolution, we guide business owners through separating intertwined business interests while preserving operational value.
Breach of Contract
Every Texas business runs on contracts. When contracts are breached—through non-payment, non-performance, or delivery of defective goods—we enforce your rights or defend against claims. Our contract litigation experience includes our recent victory defending clients against $17 million in claimed damages.
We handle all contract disputes: purchase agreements, service contracts, supply agreements, construction contracts, and complex commercial transactions. Understanding when to pursue litigation versus settlement often determines ultimate outcomes.
Business Torts
Not every business dispute arises from contracts. When competitors engage in unfair competition, when partners commit fraud, or when third parties interfere with business relationships, tort law provides powerful remedies including punitive damages.
We pursue and defend business tort claims: commercial fraud, tortious interference, business defamation, conversion, unfair competition, and conspiracy. These claims often support broader damages than contract actions.
Trade Secret Protection
Protecting confidential information and trade secrets is critical to maintaining competitive advantage. Our business litigation services include developing protection protocols, drafting confidentiality agreements, and taking swift action when trade secrets are threatened.
When employees leave for competitors or confidential information is at risk, we help evaluate options and develop strategic responses to protect valuable business information before competitive advantage is lost.
Non-Compete Agreements
Non-compete disputes create complex issues balancing business protection against employee mobility. We represent both employers enforcing reasonable restrictions and employees defending against overreaching agreements. Texas non-compete law continues evolving, requiring current knowledge and strategic thinking.
Whether pursuing injunctive relief or defending enforcement actions, we understand both legal requirements and practical realities of non-compete litigation.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
When someone in a position of trust—a partner, director, officer, or trustee—puts personal interests ahead of their duties, the betrayal cuts deeper than simple contract violations. We handle fiduciary breach claims involving self-dealing, usurped opportunities, conflicts of interest, and violations of loyalty and care duties.
These cases often involve complex damage calculations, profit disgorgement, and equitable remedies requiring sophisticated legal strategies.
Securities Fraud
Investment fraud destroys financial security and retirement plans. We represent investors who’ve lost money to Ponzi schemes, broker misconduct, unsuitable investments, and securities fraud. From FINRA arbitrations to federal securities litigation, we understand specialized procedures governing investment disputes.

The Business Litigation Process
Commercial disputes require prompt attention to preserve evidence, protect rights, and prevent escalation. Our business litigation services begin with thorough case evaluation:
Initial Consultation: We analyze your situation, explain legal options, discuss strategic approaches, and provide honest assessment of likely outcomes and costs.
Strategic Planning: Not every dispute requires litigation. We evaluate settlement possibilities, alternative dispute resolution, and litigation positioning to develop cost-effective strategies.
Aggressive Advocacy: When litigation is necessary, we pursue your interests vigorously through discovery, motions, trial preparation, and courtroom advocacy.
Efficient Resolution: Whether through negotiated settlement, mediation, arbitration, or trial, we work toward efficient resolution that protects your business interests.
Taking Action on Business Disputes
Delay in addressing business disputes can result in lost evidence, expired statute of limitations, and deteriorating negotiating positions. Early consultation allows strategic planning and often enables resolution before litigation costs spiral.
Business litigation services that truly serve Texas companies focus on outcomes, not just legal process. We combine aggressive advocacy with practical business judgment to achieve results that matter to your bottom line.
