Resolving Breach Of Contract Issues
Is your business experiencing financial damages because another party has broken the terms of a signed legal contract? When a contracted party fails to fulfill obligations as outlined in the contract, damage caused by the breach can lead to significant financial loss. It may also result in damage to the reputation of your company and the leaders within it. If you require representation for complex legal issues, call my Woodbury firm, Goerlitz Law, PLLC. I am a breach of contract attorney with more than 15 years of experience in resolving contract disputes across a broad range of industries and commercial concerns.
The Three Elements Of A Breach Of Contract Claim
To successfully claim a breach of contract, there must first be a valid contract in place. This means both parties agreed to the terms and intended to create a legally binding agreement. Second, one party must have failed to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the contract. This typically involves not delivering goods, services or payments as promised. Third, the nonbreaching party must have suffered damages as a result of the breach. This means they experienced some form of loss, whether financial or otherwise, due to the other party’s failure to meet their contractual obligations. If all three elements are met, a breach of contract claim can be pursued to seek compensation or other remedies.
Solutions To Contract Disputes
I work hard to resolve breach of contract matters efficiently through negotiation. However, I am always prepared to take your case to court if the issue cannot be settled at the negotiation table. If a breach has occurred, I can help you sue for breach of contract and pursue punitive damages against the breaching party.
My experience includes resolving commercial contract disputes related to:
- Partnership agreements
- Licensing agreements
- Noncompete agreements
- Real estate contracts
- Shareholder and partnership agreements
- Sales and purchase agreements
- Delivery and installation contracts
- Employment and executive agreements
As an experienced breach of contract attorney, I understand you need to get past issues as quickly as possible and will work for a timely resolution. I work with individual business owners, groups of shareholders and inside corporate counsel requiring a local litigation legal adviser for contract enforcement.
What Are The Damages For Breach Of Contract In Minnesota?
Generally, the injured party can seek compensation to put them in the position they would have been in if the contract had been fulfilled. This often includes direct financial losses, like the cost of finding a replacement service or product. Sometimes, lost profits or opportunities may also be recoverable if they were reasonably foreseeable when the contract was made. In certain cases, specific performance might be ordered, requiring the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations. It’s important to note that punitive damages are rarely awarded in contract cases unless there’s evidence of fraud or other exceptional circumstances. Each situation is unique, so the exact damages will depend on the specific details of your case. If you’re dealing with a breach of contract, I can help you understand your options and pursue the most appropriate action.
