What is the typical timeline of a business litigation case?

The typical timeline for a business litigation case in New Hampshire depends on the circumstances of the case and the amount of time it takes to complete the necessary steps. Generally, a business litigation case may take anywhere from several weeks to several months or even several years to conclude. The process typically begins with the filing of a lawsuit in the appropriate court. Once the lawsuit is filed, the parties will often engage in a period of discovery. During this time, the parties exchange documents and will likely conduct depositions of witnesses. This can take anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on the complexity and size of the case. After the completion of the discovery process, or any motions to dismiss or for summary judgment, the parties may go to mediation or enter into negotiations. Depending on the circumstances, these can be quick or lengthy negotiations that can take several weeks or even months before a resolution is reached. Finally, if a resolution is not reached, the case may go to trial. Depending on the complexity of the case, a trial may take days or even months to conclude. After the conclusion of the trial, a verdict is issued by the court and the business litigation case is finally concluded.
