How Long Does The Litigation Process Usually Take In A Business Dispute? – Perez Mayoral

In this video, I talk about the litigation process in a business dispute and how they can vary based on the complexity of the case. In Florida, the bar recommends that commercial litigation typically lasts between 12 to 18 months, but simpler cases might be resolved in 6 to 12 months. This timeframe includes completing discovery, drafting initial pleadings, and preparing for resolution, usually culminating in mediation. More complex cases often require extensive discovery, may involve dispositive motions, and could face evidentiary issues, leading to timelines closer to 18 months. Additionally, factors like the availability of judges and the parties involved can also influence how long the case takes.
