What are Some of the Steps to Defend a Breach of Contract?
What happens when you are the party who has breached a contract? The other business is threatening legal action and throwing all kinds of numbers and threats at you. What action should you take?
There are several steps our experienced attorneys can take to defend a breach of contract and efficiently resolve a business contract dispute. We work to develop a thorough, well-documented chronology of events and a mastery of the potential financial damages associated with the dispute at hand. This provides the leverage necessary to gain the attention of opposing parties and their counsel and work to resolve the matter.
The first and most important thing to know is the Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of these cases through effective, leveraged negotiation. This is the fastest and least expensive strategy to defend allegations of a breach of contract. What caused the challenges that lead to the breach? Does the solution lie in additional time to deliver upon the promises made within the contract, or has an important component become unavailable or back ordered?
The party who is upset by the breach of contract does not hold all of the cards. In fact, the “victim” of the breach has a legal obligation to take immediate, prudent and reasonable action to mitigate the damages associated with the breach. Failure to mitigate their losses reduces or eliminates the potential financial damages they may be able to recover in a legal action.
One of those “reasonable” actions is to work with our attorneys to negotiate an amended agreement that allows you the time to resolve the challenges you face and ultimately fulfill the terms of the agreement. The cause of the breach of contract may not be entirely one-sided. Our lawyers stand up for our clients and take a strong negotiating stance to protect their interests and increase the incentive for the other party to agree to a reasonable and cost-effective solution.
