lawsuits

Small businesses the world over are susceptible to lawsuits. But they can also be the plaintiffs who brings suits against others. For some people, lawsuits are a legitimate way to raise capital. For others, lawsuits buys time. And still others use the lawsuit as a PR strategy.

Getting sued also has its perks. When a small company in the Indian Ocean was recently sued by the first lady of France, they got millions of dollars worth of free publicity. And you know what they say about publicity.

What about you? Why do you sue?
