What Is a Breach of Contract?
When one of the parties fails to live up to its contract obligations, a breach is said to have occurred. The other party has various rights, which may include suing for damages resulting from the contract’s breach. In typical cases, plaintiffs can sue for lost profits, lost value of time, out of pocket expenses, attorney fees, and, possibly, other types of damages. Depending on the industry, there can be other rights to sue to find a contract void, to retract it via a “rescission,” or to get an injunction, which is an order from a court telling another party to “do” or “not do” a particular thing.

On the opposite side, if you are being accused of breach of contract, we are well versed in defense of contract breach claims.

In those types of cases, we aggressively defend our client from these types of claims.
