Business Contract Disputes
A contract dispute, accusation of fraud or breach of fiduciary duty can have the effect of putting your business on hold until the matter is resolved.
Has a supplier or customer failed to honor the terms of a contract? A business litigation lawyer can effectively represent your business.
Partnership Disputes
When partners disagree, we will look for solutions and, when necessary, litigate the matter in court. Are you being accused or sued over a partnership agreement? If so, we can assist in representing you at the courthouse. Likewise, if you have been damaged by breaches of a partnership agreement by your partner, we can advise and, if necessary, seek damages for such wrongful conduct.
Real Estate Contract Disputes
Disputes arising from a purchase and sale contract dispute or other real estate breach of contract claim in Houston or throughout Texas. If you have purchased property and discovered that the seller misrepresented the property condition or failed to disclose defects, I may be able to assist you in seeking compensation for your damages. Likewise, if you have sold property and are now being accused or sued for alleged failure to disclose, please call my office to see how we can assist in defending you in court.
Trade secrets and non-compete agreements
Trade Secret Protection Litigation
Mahendru P.C. will work closely with you to determine whether the best way to protect your confidential or proprietary information is through the law of trade secrets. A fundamental principle of trade secret law is a contractual agreement, whereby your employees and/or vendors agree not to disclose any confidential information. Trade secrets can also be improperly obtained by third parties who have unauthorized access to the information, including individuals who hack into company Web sites.
Mahendru P.C. handles situations where there has been a theft of trade secrets or a disclosure of the company's confidential and proprietary information. In such circumstances, Mahendru P.C. works with clients to seek injunctions to prevent the disclosure of trade secrets, company confidential and proprietary information.
Non-Compete Agreement Litigation
The firm represents plaintiffs or defendants in situations involving allegations of breach of a non-compete agreement. If you have a former employee who signed a non-compete, or if you have previously worked for a company and want to use your knowledge and experience to establish your own business, Mahendru P.C. can help protect your interests.
Interference of business
I can represent either the plaintiff or defense:
Has your business been accused of actions that harmed other businesses or individuals? I can help you deal with the matter quickly.
Has another company or individual interfered in your business relationships? I may be able to assist you in collecting the damages caused to your company by the wrongful conduct of another.
Requests for injunctive relief
Monetary damages cannot solve all problems. An injunction may be permanent or it may be temporary. A preliminary injunction, or an interlocutory injunction, is a provisional remedy granted to restrain activity on a temporary basis until the court can make a final decision after trial. It is usually necessary to prove the high likelihood of success upon the merits of one's case and a likelihood of irreparable harm in the absence of a preliminary injunction before such an injunction may be granted; otherwise the party may have to wait for trial to obtain a permanent injunction.
Attorney Mahendru maintains flexible office hours and is available to meet with you outside traditional business hours. The firm meets with clients by appointment.
