G&P also represents clients in contract negotiations and disputes.  G&P handles contract disputes from the initial investigation through trial, and on appeal, if necessary.  G&P's philosophy is litigation is rarely good for business, which is why we provide our clients with a cost-benefit analysis of litigation.  At the end of the day, the client's bottom line must be investigated to determine whether any judgment is collectible.  If there is nothing to collect, the client is just throwing good money after bad and is better off using that money for more productive endevours.  It is also important to do a cost-benefit analysis not only before commencing litigation, but also during litigation, because financial positions change.

Most business disputes in Texas have a 4 year statute of limitations.  Some fraud and deceptive practices have only a 2 year statute of limitations.  A statute of limitations requires a lawsuit within a certain period of time after the breach; otherwise, you will be forever barred from bringing a lawsuit to protect your rights.
