Tennessee Business Litigation

"Burr & Forman's Nashville office is committed to serving clients based in or doing business in Tennessee. The Nashville office is home to 20 highly skilled attorneys (with plans to expand), each focused on meeting the diverse needs of our business clients. Firm-wide we have 42 attorneys licensed to practice in Tennessee. We created this blog for Tennessee business owners and non-Tennessee companies doing business in the state. We will report on legal developments affecting businesses in Tennessee at the state and federal levels. We will also discuss developments in other states and nationally and how those issues affect businesses in Tennessee. Business litigation is a very broad topic, and the topics we cover in this blog will be just as broad. Among the many subjects related to Tennessee businesses, you will see posts on contract issues, including formation, interpretation, performance and breach; the Uniform Commercial Code; lease and purchase agreements; and enforcement of alternative dispute resolution agreements. We will also look at business torts, such as interference with business relationships, contracts, and economic advantage; issues which implicate the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act and common law claims for fraud and misrepresentation; unfair competition; and breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, we will address employment issues, including discrimination (sex, age, disability, etc.); overtime pay; non-competes, non-solicitation, and trade secrets; whistleblower protection; and work-related injuries. Finally, we will report on liability claims, such as product liability, personal injury and property damage, and how they affect companies doing business in Tennessee. We hope you will subscribe to our Tennessee Business Litigation Blog and check back often, as you will no doubt find some topic or insight that will relate to your business. We appreciate you reading our blog and hope it will benefit your business. If you would like to discuss a post or any other business need, please contact one of our Nashville business litigation attorneys.
