What are the best steps to take in a San Diego breach of contract dispute and what is the fastest way to resolve the dispute cost-effectively?  The experienced attorneys at the Watkins Firm take a unique approach to resolving disputes to help our clients quickly and efficiently resolve these cases.  The first step is to review the underlying contract governing the transaction or relationship, and take immediate action to mitigate losses and calculate the potential financial damages caused by the breach of contract.   Damages are the key to any business litigation or dispute, and provide the greatest source of leverage to encourage the other side to open immediate, constructive settlement negotiations.

The majority of business breach of contract cases are resolved through effective leveraged negotiation.  The Watkins Firm attorneys have decades of experience in business to business disputes in the San Diego area.  We understand the value of the relationships associated with contractual agreements and work quickly to resolve the breach of contract but to repair any damage to the relationship between the parties.  We work to negotiate a “work-around,” a contractual agreement that resolves the issues which caused the breach while providing appropriate compensation for the interruption in delivery of the benefit of the bargain promised within the contract.

When issues of principled disagreement arise, mediation is an excellent alternative to arbitration or ultimately litigation of the case in a court of law.  Business litigation in San Diego can take more than a year to bring the case before the court, resulting in significant expense and a long-term contingent liability.  Most of our clients wish for the matter to be resolved as quickly and affordably as possible while attaining the goals established at the outset of the dispute.
