What are the elements of a proven defense of a breach of contract in San Diego? The short answer is prompt action and a very skilled attorney. Breach of contract cases can become quite expensive very quickly for the party who is in breach of a business contract. The experienced litigation and breach of contract defense attorneys at the Watkins Firm have more than four decades of experience in these matters successfully defending clients in contract disputes.
A Good Defense Starts with a Good Offense
The other party must take “prompt, prudent and reasonable action” to immediately mitigate their losses in a breach of contract case. This provides not only a valid defense which can prevent them from pursuing economic losses known as “damages,” it offers an excellent opportunity to open constructive and fruitful negotiations. Your Watkins Firm breach of contract attorney is able to resolve the vast majority of these cases through effective, leveraged negotiations. We are often able to modify the existing contract to allow both parties to receive the “benefit of the bargain” anticipated in the original agreement or a “settlement agreement” that resolves the matter once and for all. This proven defense of a breach of contract saves our clients a substantial amount of money, time and valuable business relationships.
We work with our clients to understand their goals for the dispute, and the flexibility they have or do not have to fulfill the underlying contract. We gain an understanding and document any unforeseeable market changes or supply disruptions to aid in our defense. Our persistent willingness to help to defray or eliminate resulting damages goes a long way if the case cannot be resolved through negotiation, mediation or arbitration.
Finally, there is a business relationship to consider. In many cases the parties know each other quite well and each values the other as a supplier or customer. It is important to preserve these relationships while providing a proven defense of a breach of contract in San Diego.
We represent clients in all aspects of a breach of contract defense, including mediation and arbitration.
