It is rare today for individuals and businesses to form commercial relationships without signing of a contract which sets forth the conditions of that relationship. Most businesses negotiate and draft contracts with the help of a lawyer. A contract is a binding agreement between two parties that sets the terms for a transaction such as the price, delivery conditions and the number of items to be provided. There are many situations where contracts are essential to help ensure that business relationships are conducted smoothly.

Even though contracts offer a semblance of order to a business relationship, litigation for breach of contract commonly takes place and the only way to solve the dispute is to contact an experienced contract disputes lawyer who will find a resolution as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, not all individuals or businesses who are party to a contract always adhere to the conditions laid out in the contract. It might be that one of the parties has misinterpreted the conditions of the contract or has made a genuine mistake. It is also possible that one of the parties has blatantly disregarded one or more of the contract’s conditions.

A breach of contract takes place when one of the parties to the contract fails to follow the terms of the contract. This inevitably involves additional expenses to resolve a dispute. When this takes place, the affected party may have the legal right to file a claim for damages that the individual or business may have incurred due to that breach. If a party fails to comply with their obligations in relation to a contract then a lawyer can assist in negotiating and/or litigating disputes in relation to the breach.
