(ThySistas.com) Believe it or not, you stand a large chance of being sued as a business. Whether you’re a large business or a small business, lawsuits of any kind are quite common. It’s just the price of doing business as anyone reserves the right to take legal action against you for a valid reason. This could be when a customer is unsatisfied with a product because it hurt them, didn’t do what it was apparently supposed to or advertised as, or on the other hand it could be another business that wants to sue you for allegedly copying their design. Whatever the reason, it’s always best to have some kind of legal procedures and tactics in place. Yet, for tactics you really need knowledge of the process.
When you learn more about what actually happens to a business during a lawsuit, you realize it’s not straightforward. Much like a maze, there are many false flags, deceptions and trickery that goes on in order to have you make a mistake. So keep your cards close to your chest using these techniques.
Don’t say more than you need to
Usually, you will be ordered by a court to make a preliminary statement regarding the lawsuit. This will be in writing, making your brief case of innocence. This is usually for you to set out your base position, such as the terms and conditions you specify, the 
warning labels or instructions of caution for the use of your product or service. It’s also when you proclaim your not guilty stance and make a formal point to fight the case in court if it reaches that point.
Only ever say what you need to, never get emotionally involved in your communication. Only give paperwork that you have been ordered to and nothing more or less. In most cases, courts of law will throw out a case that doesn’t stack up to business law. This could be that a customer or business did not follow the terms and conditions of a contract, product or service to begin with. So rather than say too much, say just what you need to.
Plugging the leak
It’s a dark and mysterious world out there in the land of business lawsuits, and whenever and wherever large sums of money are potentially up for grabs you can expect dirty tactics. The other party might be spying on you, they will dig up your history and see if there is any dirt they can use against you. There have been cases where the party sueing, even pays off a member of the opposition’s legal team in order to get inside information.
That’s why you should consider Process Servers that will personally serve court documents to the other party instead of having the police or other legal teams. They will even locate the party for you, in case you are having troubling finding them since they could be avoiding you by not answering voicemails or responding to letters.
Keep your cards close to your chest when you’re being sued or are sueing someone else. Only supply information that you need to as to not give too much away and falter your own case.
