Commercial disputes with customers, suppliers, competitors or employees can get real complicated, real fast. We bring a combination of legal expertise and business common sense on behalf of our clients. We explore every avenue for delivering verdicts, judgments or settlements that bolster or protect the client's bottom line.

Account Collection

Services Offered: Through negotiation and/or litigation, our attorneys collect outstanding receivables for our clients.

Unlike "collection firms" we make certain of direct attorney involvement and oversight in all debt collection cases. Through long-standing relationships with major corporations like Sysco Food Services of Detroit, LLC, Wright Penning & Beamer has successfully handled thousands of collections matters.

Business Disputes and Litigation

Services Offered: Our attorneys work diligently to find the most comprehensive, cost-effective resolutions to business disputes. We aim first to negotiate and enforce win-win solutions for our clients and those they do business with. When necessary, however, we develop and implement aggressive trial strategies to protect our clients' legal rights and business interests.

At heart, our lawyers are business people. We analyze each dispute thoroughly to understand the legal options and the business ramifications. In courtrooms across the state and across the nation, Wright Penning & Beamer attorneys deliver results. When those results are challenged on appeal, we prevail nine times out of ten.

Construction

Services Offered: Our attorneys represent both contractors and property owners in construction disputes -- whether commercial or residential in nature -- including proceedings under Michigan's Construction Lien Act.

Wright Penning & Beamer has solid relationships with several national lien firms who engage us to file and enforce construction liens in Michigan.

Contract Disputes

Services Offered: Our attorneys craft effective resolutions to contract disputes that may arise between our business clients and third parties. If the other party will not entertain reasonable, joint solutions, then we bring and/or defend lawsuits to enforce contract terms on a state and national level.

Our attorneys work with supplier contracts, personal service contracts, verbal and written contracts, software and technology contracts, confidentiality and non-compete agreements, and everything in between.

Insurance Coverage Disputes

Services Offered: If your insurance carrier won't honor its obligations to you by denying coverage under your policy, our attorneys will pressure them.

We have experience representing insured parties, insurance carriers, and insurance agents. So we thoroughly understand all aspects of the insurer/insured relationship. We have served as general counsel to the National Association of Professional Allstate Agents for nearly ten years.

Landlord/Tenant Disputes

Services Offered: Our attorneys have represented clients on both sides of these disputes. On behalf of landlords, we act to enforce rights for payment of rent or possession of property. On behalf of commercial tenants, we act to protect their rights if landlords fail to live up to their lease obligations.

We handle dozens of landlord/tenant disputes for business clients every year.

Sales Representative Contracts

Services Offered: Our attorneys develop clear agreements with your sales force in order to minimize the chance of disputes should you part ways. If disputes materialize, we provide you with experienced representation.

We have litigated millions of dollars in disputed commissions over the past ten years, covering topics ranging from auto parts to holographic images.

Unfair Competition

Services Offered: When competitors engage in unfair business practices – whether violations of a non-compete agreement, misappropriation of proprietary information, or tampering with customers -- our attorneys act quickly on our clients' behalf.

Wright Penning & Beamer attorneys have both initiated and defended claims of this kind in state and federal courts across the country for clients such as Toshiba Business Solutions-Michigan, Masters Green and Chemco Products. Dirk Beamer has written and published about rights and risks under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
