1. What Is Commercial Litigation?

2. Introduction
• Based in Sacramento, California, Mr. John Poulos is a skilled
federal and state court trial lawyer. He spent 15 years at
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in Sacramento and is
currently a partner at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith. After
years of handling binding arbitrations, successfully resolving
complicated disputes, and settling inefficiency claims, John
Poulos now focuses primarily on commercial litigation.
Much like real estate lawyers who focus on housing contracts,
agency fees, and other real estate claims, commercial
litigation pertains only to business transactions. A
commercial litigation lawyer is a type of business litigation
lawyer, who gives legal representation when an individual is
looking to settle a business dispute.

3. Commercial Litigation
• However, a commercial litigation attorney differs in
that he or she does not specialize in every area of the
laws of business. Rather, they focus on one or more
aspects of business law and are chosen based on
their specified area of expertise.
Depending on the area for which an individual is
seeking legal assistance, a lawyer that has
considerable experience dealing with their specific
claims would be the best choice. Commercial law
includes such aspects as marketing, fund transfers,
advertising, banking, securities, bankruptcy,
contracts, bank deposits and collections.
