While many breach of contract claims are resolved through negotiation or mediation, having representation through a reputable law firm that will not hesitate to pursue litigation (when necessary) helps clients feel confident. If you are in the middle of a contract dispute, contact our office today to attain legal counsel.
When all terms of a contract are not honored, a breach has occurred and a lawyer who is well-versed in business law needs to review the situation. While there is times when the breach is obvious, other times great effort is required to prove that contractual duties were breached. This holds true especially when it involves the quality of service, materials or completing a project in a timely fashion.
Review of Leases and Current Contracts:
After signing a lease or contract, it becomes a legally binding document. If you violate this document, you are putting yourself at risk for a lawsuit: Violating this binding document is considered a breach of contract. If the lease or contract relates to your business, you could suffer major financial losses, sever business ties as well as damage the reputation of your company: Taking these issues into consideration, hiring a business law attorney to review leases and current contracts may be extremely beneficial for the health of your business.
