Are you searching for attorneys with extensive experience in how to defend a contract breach in San Diego?  The Watkins Firm protects you from extensive exposure and liability for damages associated with the contract breach.

We work to negotiate a positive resolution, and when possible protect existing valuable business relationships.  These cases do not have to go to expensive and time consuming business litigation.

The vast majority of cases where the Watkins Firm Firm will defend a contract breach in San Diego can usually be resolved through negotiation.  We work with our clients to construct a thorough, well-documented chronology of events as well as a mastery of any potential or actual damages.  This provides the leverage to approach the other party and work to resolve whatever issues have led to the potential breach.  Our work helps to minimize further exposure to damages while seeking a positive resolution.  The attorneys at the Watkins Firm have more than four decades of experience and expertise in these cases, and can help to protect your interests at every step of the process.  We are able to resolve the vast majority of our breach of contract cases through effective, leveraged negotiation.  This is the fastest and least expensive path to resolve these matters.

We employ effective leveraged negotiation, business mediation and arbitration representation to bring the dispute to a productive resolution as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

Our ability to defend a contract breach in San Diego also requires the ability to counter punch.  The other party has legal responsibilities as well, and we can use their failure to adequately mitigate their losses or cooperation to offset or eliminate your exposure in the case.  We approach other contract parties in a spirit of cooperation and with an attitude of finding common ground to resolve the dispute.  There may be other alternatives we can explore to ensure that the original party receives the “benefit of the bargain” established by the business contract without the need for litigation.

Pro-Tip: “Damages are what the law can afford you in a civil case. In a criminal matter, the law can afford you incarceration of the offending criminal, but in a civil matter, since your contract and your agreement was mostly about money, then you get money back. And the only time you don’t just get money is when it’s a case where a law will afford you an injunctive or provisional remedy, which is for unique types of damages and unusual circumstances.

Mastery of the potential damages is so important in these cases. First of all, when you are in a lawsuit over a breach of contract or anything, you are investing money to get money. So if you don’t know how much you’re fighting for, how can you know how much you should spend?

Secondly, if you master the damages, if you can prove what the damage to you is (or the limitation of actual damages to the other party), if you obtain and collect all the evidence about the damages, even before you worry about why you were damaged or what the law was breached, you can understand the case, the way a litigator understand understands it. You can help your lawyer and in the long run, you’ll be more successful in your case, by thinking about how you were damaged for, and then working it way back to who breached what and who broke what law.”
