A Full Range of Business Litigation Services

The business litigation team at the Kline Preston Law Group represents clients in the full spectrum of commercial disputes. No matter the nature or circumstances of your case, attorney Kline Preston dedicates the time, resources, and attention to detail to ensure you understand your next steps.

Mr. Preston brings business experience from multiple industries—including alcohol, publishing, real estate, and import-export—in addition to his legal expertise. He started his own lawn mowing business at the age of 10 and has worked ever since. Among other types of business disputes, look to Kline Preston Law Group for assistance with:

• Breach of contract claims: Contracts form the foundation of most commercial relationships. A breach of an agreement can cause significant damage to the nonbreaching party. In Tennessee, a company can be held legally liable for damages stemming from a contract breach. At the same time, valid defenses exist for breach of contract claims. At Kline Preston Law Group, Mr. Preston has extensive experience representing clients in complex contract disputes.
• Shareholder and partnership disputes: Disputes between shareholders or partners can severely damage a business. These disagreements arise for many reasons—from good-faith differences of opinion regarding the future of the business to allegations of fraud or misconduct. With experience advising Tennessee business owners and entrepreneurs on business structure and entity formation, Mr. Preston is prepared to assist you.
• Intellectual property cases: For many companies in Tennessee, their intellectual property portfolio is just as valuable as their tangible assets—if not even more so. Intellectual property includes copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets. Get experienced assistance if your company faces IP disputes, including copyright infringement, trademark infringement, IP licensing disagreements, and trade secret misappropriation claims.
• Employment law matters: For business owners, employment law disputes can be frustrating. Attorney Kline Preston assists Tennessee companies and organizations with employment law issues, including defense against employment law claims, severance agreements, and nondisclosure agreements.
• Business and consumer fraud claims: Business and consumer fraud cases take many forms. In Tennessee, the primary legal protection for consumers is the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. Cases under this law include false advertising, material misrepresentations or omissions, and bait-and-switch tactics. Attorney Kline Preston provides experienced counsel for bringing or defending fraud claims under Tennessee and federal law.
• Real estate and commercial property disputes: Are you involved in a dispute over a commercial real estate transaction or commercial property? If so, it is imperative that you take action to protect your personal and business interests. Attorney Kline Preston offers experienced advocacy for Tennessee business real estate issues, including disputes over transactions, lending arrangements, commercial leases, and property matters.
• Regulatory issues: Tennessee businesses sometimes face problems with federal, state, or local government agencies—from permit denials to alleged regulatory violations.  In some cases, the government may pursue financial penalties or other sanctions against your business. If you or your company face a dispute over a regulatory matter, such as a Lacey Act violation, you will need an experienced attorney.
• International commercial disputes: With extensive experience in international law, attorney Kline Preston has conducted business in countries including Russia, Ukraine, the Philippines, Cuba, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the Cayman Islands. Mr. Preston’s experience in international business—attracting capital, product sales, navigating different legal environments, and currency arbitrage—provides a unique advantage when handling business matters for his clients.
• Business arbitration and mediation: While the Kline Preston Law Group is made for litigation, attorney Kline values settlement or alternative dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration, which sometimes offers more cost-effective solutions. The utilization of arbitration is a complex matter. Attorney Kline Preston has litigated many arbitration cases while successfully challenging compelled arbitration when appropriate.
