How Long Does The Business Or Commercial Litigation Process Take?

In Rhode Island, the duration of the business and commercial litigation process can vary widely based on several factors. Typically, it ranges from a few months to several years. At McIntyre Tate LLP, our objective as qualified business litigation lawyers is to provide you with a realistic expectation of what to expect throughout the process.

  • Pre-Litigation Phase: This first stage entails research, discussions, and even mediation. Depending on the parties' willingness to reach a settlement and the intricacy of the dispute, it may take a few weeks to several months.
  • Filing and Pleadings: The exchange of pleadings (complaint, answer, and counterclaims) starts as soon as a case is filed. This phase may extend for multiple months.
  • Discovery: The longest portion of a lawsuit is usually the discovery phase, during which the parties exchange pertinent data and documents. It may take up to a year and a half, particularly in complicated circumstances.
  • Pre-Trial Motions and Trial: A few more months may be added for pre-trial motions, hearings, and the trial itself. Anticipate more time for court dates and possible appeals if the case gets to trial.

We are committed to making the litigation process efficient and effective as possible for your. Contact McIntyre Tate LLP today for tailored guidance and expert representation from skilled commercial litigation lawyers in Rhode Island.
