Dispute Resolution For Salt Lake City Businesses
Business disputes can threaten your company’s operations, reputation and bottom line. Terry Jessop & Bitner helps Utah businesses resolve conflicts efficiently and strategically. We recognize that litigation is expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable, so we explore every option to settle disputes before they reach the courtroom.
Our attorneys use creative approaches tailored to your business needs. We pursue negotiation, mediation and Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods that can save you time and money while achieving favorable outcomes. When these strategies don’t produce results, we stand ready to litigate aggressively in state and federal courts.
Whether your dispute involves contracts, partnerships, employment matters or other commercial issues, we develop a resolution strategy that protects your interests and keeps your business moving forward.

Navigating The Utah Appellate Process
When a trial court decision goes against you or when you need to defend a favorable verdict, our appellate attorneys provide skilled representation before the Utah Court of Appeals and the Utah Supreme Court. Appeals work differently than trials. You don’t present new evidence or call witnesses. Instead, appellate lawyers review what happened at trial, find legal mistakes and explain to higher courts why those errors matter.
Our appellate attorneys start by carefully studying the trial record, every document, transcript and piece of evidence from your case. We identify where the trial court made legal errors that affected the outcome. Then we write detailed briefs that explain these mistakes in clear, persuasive language. Appellate judges read these written arguments closely, so we craft each brief to address the specific legal standards the court will apply.
Many appeals also include oral arguments, where our attorneys present your case directly to a panel of judges. We prepare thoroughly for these hearings, anticipating the judges’ questions and presenting compelling answers that strengthen your position. Timing matters in appeals. Utah law sets strict deadlines for filing notices of appeal, submitting briefs and requesting oral argument. So if you miss a deadline, you can lose your right to appeal entirely.
We handle appeals in commercial disputes, contract cases and other business matters through focused, strategic representation designed to protect your rights and achieve an ideal outcome.
