Certainly. Wikipedia does not pause for lawsuits, and a legal fight that draws press coverage will typically show up in the article while the case is still live, cited to that coverage.
For the company, being in litigation narrows what is wise more than what is possible. Straightforward factual corrections remain fine, made through Wikipedia's open process of posting suggested changes on the article's talk page. You may decide it's not a great time to be posting edit requests, but you certainly will want to avoid commenting on the case. That is your right, including on Wikipedia.
How lawsuits end is another matter. Just as filings are often widely covered; resolutions typically do not. This is all the more true when a suit names an individual person, which means an article can carry the accusation indefinitely while no source ever exists for the outcome. This is a recognized problem on Wikipedia, and editors know the asymmetry; sometimes they choose not to add a lawsuit at all until it produces a reported outcome, though that is a judgment call and highly situation dependent.
The rules add one more twist: for claims about a living person, court documents alone generally cannot be used as sources, so if your case ends without fanfare, fixing the record may depend on getting the resolution reported somewhere reliable first.
