What do you need to know about resolving your business dispute in San Diego quickly and cost-effectively? Business disputes and lawsuits are usually the result of gaps in the contract governing the transaction or relationship at hand. When legal contracts are well crafted, the language of the contract clearly establishes all aspects of the transaction or relationship, and how to handle things that don’t go as expected. If a dispute arises, the contract should clearly establish the process for resolving the dispute, while continuing the momentum of the work being performed.
Business Disputes Often Go Back to the Underlying Contract
Does it surprise you to learn business disputes of go back to the underlying contract? Many disputes are usually based upon areas in a contract that are unclear – allowing for various interpretations according to the perspective of the parties involved. For example, when inexperienced business owners and entrepreneurs attempt to save a few dollars by downloading a boilerplate contract (or finding one on the web and attempting to alter it) they open themselves to disputes and lawsuits.
California has its own unique laws and is one of the most progressive states in the union. When contracts fail to incorporate appropriate legal and descriptive language it provides gaps in the agreement that easily lend themselves to the development of a dispute. Legally speaking, when a contract is “mute” on a point the disagreement must be argued before a neutral party or judge. The judge must attempt to “reconstruct” the original intent and actual agreement of the parties before issuing a ruling. This is quite time-consuming and expensive for all parties involved.
