Breach of Contract is All About the Damages
Breach of contract cases and all business litigation comes down to a central issue: damages. A court isn’t going to order a party to fulfill their obligations or uphold their end of the agreement. The remedy for a breach of contract is damages (read: money).
The opposing party (the party who claims to be the victim of the contract breach) is required by law to take immediate, effective and prudent steps to mitigate the damages and reduce the costs associated with the breach of contract dispute. Failure to do so can relieve our clients of part or all of their exposure when defending breach of contract allegations in San Diego. There are often issues with the contract itself, as well as the communications (written and verbal) that have occurred between the parties.

Leveraged, effective negotiation is the fastest and most efficient way to resolve a breach of contract dispute. Our skill enables the Watkins Firm to master the damages and engage opposing parties in productive negotiations. Defending our client in a breach of contract case often involves mediation or arbitration.
Mediation in a Breach of Contract
Usually, if a lawsuit has been filed the next step is mediation. Mediation provides the protection of confidentiality for our clients. What happens in mediation literally stays in mediation. Important facts and revelations which might be harmful to a business reputation are kept out of the public record in the privacy of mediation. This is the next most likely scenario for resolving a breach of contract dispute.
Your contract may specify arbitration as an alternative to taking the case before the Court. Our skilled trial attorneys provide strong representation and sound advice and counsel at each step of the process. We are prepared to take the case to trial if necessary, but we are able to resolve the vast majority of these cases through effective, leveraged negotiation or mediation.
