Breach of Contract Disputes Can Get Nasty

An oral or written contract creates an obligation between two or more people or companies. If one these people or companies fails or even refuses to honor the terms of a contract, this is known as a breach of contract.

As experienced business people, our attorneys understand the importance of a sound and enforceable contract. We believe that a persons' word and a solid handshake should mean something.

Because there are many kinds of contracts, there are different definitions for breach of contract. If one party fails to perform a specific act on time, does not do it as required by the agreement, or does not perform the obligations called for in the contract at all, this may be a breach of contract.

A breach of contract may be categorized as a "material" or "immaterial" breach of contract . A breach of contract may be categorized in these two ways for the purpose of determining the proper course of legal action, or a remedy for said breach. In many instances, legal action may need to be taken to rectify the situation. There are many situations that may result in a breach of contract, and it is best to schedule a free initial consultation with your breach of contract attorney at The Spitz Law Firm to determine your options.

Additionally, there may be certain circumstances that may cause a contract to be null and void. If this is the case, it may be possible to get out of your contractual obligations or being sued for breaching a contract. There are many grounds that may be used to void a contract. A contract may be voided under certain circumstances if a person is under duress or under the influence to sign a contract, a party misinterprets a material fact, a party misrepresents themselves or their company, a party commits fraud, a party wrongfully withholds or fails to disclose information, if one or more of the parties have made certain mistakes as to critical facts or terms, if the contract violates existing laws, if one of the parties is a minor or lacked necessary mental capacity to enter the contract, and in other situations.
