Drafting contracts for a variety of business and commercial purposes

Too often parties to an agreement sign a contract that fails to accurately reflect their understanding, to contain clear enough terms to put each party on notice, or to contain contingencies to protect their rights if something goes wrong. This results in wasting company resources and losing the benefits of what would have been a favorable deal.

To prevent such problems, our business law attorneys take proactive steps to ensure that your contracts are sound, explicit and enforceable. We are transparent and plain-spoken in negotiations so there can be no misunderstanding of terms. We draft contracts that are clear and comprehensive, addressing foreseeable circumstances that could affect each party’s performance. We also review existing contracts to uncover areas where your company is exposed to liability or unprotected in the event of another party’s breach.

Enforcing existing contracts to protect your rights

Our business litigation attorneys have handled countless contract disputes over the years, representing plaintiffs and defendants. Many disputes arise before a breach occurs and require clarification of certain terms. Often, it’s necessary to rescind and reform a contract that does not clearly recite the parties’ understanding. In other cases, parties anticipate a breach, and steps can be taken to enforce performance according to the obligations of the contract or to minimize the damage to the nonbreaching party.

Essentially, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform a material part of the contract. The breaching party may then be liable for the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract or the actual damages the nonbreaching party suffers. However, the nonbreaching party has a duty to mitigate losses. Whether a breach occurred, whether the nonbreaching party is entitled to damages, and whether the nonbreaching party was reasonable in the attempt to mitigate damages are all matters for the court to determine. Breach of contract litigation tends to be more complex than parties anticipate, so it’s vital to have a knowledgeable legal team supporting your side.
