Failure to perform on a business contract is considered a breach of contract, and can result in time consuming and expensive litigation.  What should you do if you are concerned about non-performance or poor workmanship on one of your business contracts?  Can you force them to perform the services or provide the quality of product specified in the contract itself?

In California, and here in San Diego it is usually not possible to force a party to perform on a contract unless the issue involves real estate.  The issue is going to be measured in “damages” – the financial consequence of the failure to perform on a business contract.  Is the issue poor workmanship?  If so, did the contractor use lesser quality materials than those specified in the agreement, or is the issue the quality of the work itself?  Did the other party in the contract promise to perform a specific service or provide a product by a certain date and fail to do so?

The Watkins Firm employs a unique approach to resolve contract disputes which is specifically designed to manage the process in a cost-effective and timely manner.  Most contract disputes can be resolved by the Watkins Firm with a well-crafted demand letter and skilled leveraged negotiation.
