Key Takeaways About  How Effective Breach of Contract Attorneys Resolve Business Contract Disputes:

• Business contract disputes distract the company management team and business ownership from the primary focus of the company: growing and expanding the success of the enterprise.
• When a breach of contract occurs the victim of the breach is responsible for taking prompt, prudent and substantial action to reduce the impact of the breach upon their business, reduce financial losses and mitigate the damages associated with the breach.
• What was the original “benefit of the bargain” you anticipated when you entered into the contract, and what will it take to achieve the result anticipated in the original agreement?

Resolving Contract Disputes Quickly and Efficiently

Business contract disputes affect far more than the immediate issues at hand. They can interfere with the core mission of the companies and create consequences that extend well beyond the contract itself. In practical terms, business contract disputes:

• Distract management and ownership from their primary focus: growing and strengthening the enterprise

• Divert executive attention away from strategic planning and operational oversight

• Tie up valuable financial resources due to contingent liabilities and ongoing legal risk

• Create uncertainty that can delay investment, hiring, or expansion decisions

• Strain or permanently damage important business relationships

• Jeopardize future opportunities that depend upon stability and credibility

We understand these business realities. Our objective is to resolve breach of contract and business disputes promptly and cost-effectively, restoring stability and allowing profitable operations to resume without unnecessary delay.

Pro-Tip: “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?  This is why it is important to develop a thorough, well-documented chronology of events and a mastery of potential damages in the case.

Secondly, if you organize and document the damages, if you can prove what the damage to you is, 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, and then working it way back to who breached what and who broke what law.

So, if you’re the party that’s caused the breach, you’ll want to minimize the risk of the damages downstream, however, its even more complicated and deeper than that. You don’t have to decide that you are the person that breached. But if you’re being accused of breaching a contract, the first thing you and your lawyer should talk about or think about is how much are the potential damages the other party is alleging that I caused and how can I, with very little expense, limit those damages?” – Dan Watkins, Founding Partner
