Chancery Litigation Lawyer Serving Metuchen, NJ

When relationships turn into disputes or when financial and property interests are threatened, it’s more than just a legal issue—it’s personal. High-stakes legal challenges involving equity, trusts, contracts, and corporate governance require precision, strategy, and experience. At ASK Law Firm, we are prepared to help you navigate chancery litigation with clarity and strength.

What Is Chancery Litigation?

Chancery litigation refers to disputes that are heard in the Chancery Division of New Jersey’s Superior Court. These cases involve matters where equitable relief—not just money damages—is sought. This can include issues like:

• Business and partnership disputes

• Trust and estate litigation

• Contract reformation or enforcement

• Injunctions and restraining orders

• Corporate governance disputes

• Fiduciary duty breaches

These cases require not only a deep understanding of the law but also careful tactical planning—something our firm excels at.

Why You Need a Strategic Approach

Unlike typical civil litigation, chancery matters often involve complex facts and relationships. Whether you’re trying to stop an unfair business transaction, protect your role in a family trust, or assert your rights in a dissolving partnership, the decisions you make today will shape the outcome tomorrow.

ASK Law Firm treats each chancery case like a chess match—analyzing every move, predicting counter-moves, and positioning you for success both in and out of court.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chancery Litigation in Metuchen, NJ

What types of cases are handled in the Chancery Division in New Jersey?

The Chancery Division deals with cases that seek remedies other than monetary damages. This includes business breakups, contract enforcement, estate disputes, injunctive relief, and issues involving trusts, fraud, or fiduciary responsibility.

How is chancery litigation different from civil litigation?

Chancery cases focus on fairness and equitable relief—such as orders to do or stop doing something—whereas civil litigation often seeks financial compensation. Chancery court judges have broader discretion to craft tailored remedies that suit the complexities of a dispute.

I’m involved in a trust or estate dispute—do I need a chancery lawyer?

Yes. Estate and trust litigation typically falls under chancery jurisdiction. If you’re disputing the actions of a trustee or executor, challenging a will, or asserting your rights as a beneficiary, a chancery litigation lawyer can help you protect your interests.

Can I get an emergency order to stop someone from doing something?

In certain situations, you can request a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to prevent harm while your case is pending. Our attorneys can evaluate whether your case qualifies and file swiftly when necessary.
