Businesses enter into numerous contracts in the course of formation, dissolution, and often as a part of daily operations with many different parties, including business partners, suppliers, vendors, customers, and other businesses. When a party does not fulfill its promises and duties as agreed in a particular contract, they have committed a breach of that contract. Contract breaches can be extremely costly to business owners if not handled appropriately and in a timely fashion. For this reason, you should always discuss a possible violation of contract provisions with an experienced Baltimore breach of contract lawyer as soon as possible.
Pursuing a Wide Range of Breach of Contract Claims
Contracts come in a wide variety of forms and each breach of contract case will have its own unique legal questions and issues. The following are some examples of contract breaches our firm handles:
- Commercial lease agreements
- Commercial real estate transactions
- Bill of sale
- Purchase orders
- Partnership agreements
- Buy-sell agreements
- Employment contracts
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Service agreements
- Construction contracts
- Non-compete agreements
- Independent contractor agreements
No matter what type of contract you have, a breach can have serious financial and legal consequences, so you should consult with a qualified contract dispute lawyer regarding your particular situation.
Finding Efficient Solutions for your Breach of Contract Case
Many business owners may be hesitant to pursue a breach of contract claim due to the potential expense of going to trial. Fortunately, many contract disputes can be settled out of court if you have the assistance of an attorney willing to explore alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods. Some ADR methods include:
Arbitration
Mediation
Negotiation
While some contracts specifically set out the method through which an arising dispute must be resolved, others do not and an attorney handling your case should be knowledgeable regarding all of these possible methods to try to save you the time, energy, and money involved in trial. If trial is necessary to solve your dispute, however, our attorneys have the litigation experience necessary to provide zealous representation for your interests in court.
Defending Breach of Contract Claims Against Your Business
A dispute may also arise in which you are wrongfully accused of breaching a business contract. If a court finds in favor of the other party, you may be facing serious financial penalties. If you have been accused of breaching a contract, you should seek representation from a business attorney who understands how to successfully and efficiently defend against this type of claim so you can avoid the potential legal consequences of such allegations.
