Are you searching for an experienced, proven attorney for breach of contract in San Diego? Breach of contract is one of the most common disputes within the San Diego and Southern California business and healthcare communities. The Watkins Firm has more than four decades of experience resolving breach of contract disputes in San Diego and throughout Southern California. Our unique approach to contract disputes ensures resolution in a timely and cost-effective manner.
The first question for our breach of contract clients is fairly straight forward: “What would you like to see happen here?”
The most common answer we receive is “I’d like to receive what we’ve contracted for!”
That’s real, and a great place to start. The majority of breach of contract cases here in San Diego are actually resolved through effective, leveraged negotiations.
Resolving Breach of Contract Starts with Leverage
Instead of charging in threatening a world of trouble it is usually more productive to contact the other party to find out what they perceived has happened, why things are off schedule and what it’s going to take to complete the terms of the agreement, if possible. In many cases there has been a challenge relating to supply channels or labor.
Perhaps the specific widget contracted for has simply become unavailable. The proposed settlement would either negotiate an end to the agreement with consideration for the failure to deliver on the contract or agreement to a replacement widget in a specific time frame while reflecting a financial consideration for the damages associated with the breach.
As your experienced attorney for breach of contract in San Diego I’m going to review the contract and dig into what has happened. The experienced breach of contract attorneys at the Watkins Firm work to develop a thorough and documented chronology of events as well as a mastery of the damages associated with the breach of contract. The leverage in these cases comes from our strong chronology and the implication of “damages” – the financial value or impact due to the breach of contract.
Damages are an effective tool for gaining the attention of an uncooperative party and getting them to the table. This provides the leverage needed to gain the attention of opposing parties and their counsel and drive the issue toward a negotiated resolution. Negotiation is the fastest and least expensive strategy to resolve a breach of contract case.
Your Experienced Attorney for Breach of Contract in San Diego
As your experienced attorney for breach of contract in San Diego the one thing I cannot do is force the other party to perform (unless it is a real estate matter). If there is an absolute failure to deliver and a significant breach of contract is at hand there are actions the injured party must take to protect their legal and financial interests down the road. This is known as “mitigating the damages.” The party who is the victim of a contract breach has a legal obligation to take prudent, reasonable and timely action to mitigate the damages. We provide insight into the steps you can take to protect your interests and achieve a positive outcome.
