Our economy is fueled by the millions of businesses in the U.S., and the countless number of transactions those businesses make every day.
Behind every business is an often-complex framework of state laws, federal regulations and, for businesses that operate internationally, foreign rules and policies. Business contracts and agreements create another layer of complexity. Every business – big or small – needs competent legal counsel and representation to help them stay compliant.
At Hamra Law Group, our skilled commercial law attorneys advise business leaders on a variety of business law matters, providing dedicated representation when commercial disputes arise.
Litigation solves everything - Jon Cryer
We provide services designed to help businesses continue operating smoothly, even when faced with contentious and/or trans-border legal disputes.
Issues we handle for business clients include vendor disputes, import-export issues, disputes related to letters of credit, factoring agreement problems and more.
Companies use vendors and third-party providers for the products and services the business needs to provide their own products. Vendor relationships are usually governed by contracts and legal agreements. However, disputes can arise when one party isn’t meeting its obligations, commits a fraudulent act or otherwise acts outside of the terms of the legal agreement.
Hamra Law Group team of legal professionals can help you resolve disputes with your vendors, or help you defend against claims brought by a vendor.
Businesses that import or export goods from foreign countries often run into disputes and legal issues arising from transactions or agreements.
Legal issues and disputes may stem from contractual violations, tariff classifications, duty reductions and exemptions, seizures and forfeitures, customs valuations, Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certifications, and more.
Our skilled attorneys represent manufacturers, importers, exporters and other parties to international trade disputes. With a solid understanding of the government agencies and laws underlying imported and exported goods, we are positioned to help businesses protect their interests and minimize their risks.
Nearly every type of business uses letters of credit, which are legal documents designed to provide sellers with the assurance they will be paid for their goods or services. If a transaction goes awry, a letter of credit ensures the buyer’s bank will pay the seller’s bank if certain conditions occur and requirements are met.
Letter of credit disputes can arise in several scenarios, including when goods are defective or damaged or when fraud in the transaction or documents is alleged. Claims may also involve issues with collecting on letters of credit, misdirection of payments, or breach of contract matters. Disputes often involve the two business parties to the transaction, but they can also involve the banks that issue and collect on the letters.
Similarly, legal issues and disputes can arise related to the use of factoring agreements. With this type of contract, a finance company pays its client early for its receivables in exchange for a percentage of the receivables.
Hamra Law Group represents all types of parties to letters of credit and factoring agreement disputes in litigation and arbitrations.
