It is commonplace for one company to sue another, or to sue an individual for breach of contract.
It happens all the time. The widget company orders some thing-a-ma-bobs from a second company, because widget's utilize thing-a-ma-bobs.
Unfortunately the shipment is late and when it arrives it turns out they're metric and don't fit the specification. The thing-a-ma-bob company spent a lot of time and money meeting that order. They claim they met the contract. The widget company claims not. Business is impossible without the infrastructure of law (and the other services that government provides) to straighten out these sorts of messes. Corporations can't survive without contracts and it's the network of laws, lawyers, courts, judges and enforcement that insure reasonable contracts are binding.
Some of these suits go to trial and are argued by trial lawyers. But generally we understand trial lawyers as being something different.

Why else would they be in the game? Isn't that what capitalism is all about? You argue all sort of outrageous things in favor the product you're selling and hope for a profit. In spite of her claims to be a libertarian, I've notice other places that Jelena really has a socialist conception of the social values markets should observe.
