Dealing with pending litigation during the outbreak of Coronavirus can be a hard task to manage. Courts across varied cities have been closed for essentially everything but criminal and family matters. So, what’s the best way to deal with your litigation?
Be Aware of Deadlines
While most in-person appearances have been postponed, there are other matters outside of the courtroom that continue. Things like evidence exchange, responses to motions, submitting complaints are still happening.
The best thing a person can do right now is stay on top of deadlines that don’t require a court appearance. Attorneys can still coordinate with each other regarding litigation matters. At the same time, keep in touch with your attorney about your litigation. Your lawyer will more than likely still answer your questions as most firms have turned to social distancing and remote working.
Coronavirus is unpredictable, and so is the way it affects your business and litigation. If you cannot meet one of your deadlines then the best option is to file an extension with the courts, once they reopen for non-essential matters.
Problems During Coronavirus
Just because your business slowed down doesn’t mean problems will stop. A few issues you could run into during Coronavirus could be:
- Shareholder disputes
- Breach of contract litigation
- Property disputes
- Employment disputes
- Product tort
- Corporate disputes
- Defamation
- Unfair competition
- Fraud
- Disputes with banks or lenders
Whether it be the problems above or a different issue you’re dealing with, all of it can lead to potential litigation. The problem could be big or small, but don’t panic. Finding the right attorney to handle the pressure during these difficult times is more important than ever.
