Corporate litigation can have significant consequences for a company, including financial losses, reputational damage, and loss of customers and partners.

All of the above consequences are possible if a lawyer breaches their duty of competence or diligence. The client could lose their case if the lawyer makes mistakes that harm the client's case. The lawyer could be sued for malpractice if the client suffers damages as a result of the lawyer's negligence. The lawyer could be disbarred if the lawyer's conduct is found to be unethical.
