Protecting Your Interests When Contracts Head South
Every business contract is subject to breach — it's that simple. Parties will either perform their commitments or they won't, and the range of reasons for unfulfilled obligations is practically infinite. In some situations, market conditions might make performance highly disadvantageous or even impossible for the party under the gun, while once in a while — questions of integrity aside — breach of contract can make sound business sense, whenever the gain outweighs the liability.
If you need advice about your legal options on either side of a contract dispute, contact an experienced business litigation attorney at Escandari & Michon in Beverly Hills. Our knowledge of the law of contracts and contract damages can help you make sound strategic decisions if you're facing the possibility of an unsatisfied commitment. At the same time, our negotiation skills and trial experience can help you salvage what appears to be an impossible situation.
We Can Advise You About Your Rights and Duties in Any Business Contract
Our lawyers can give you a good idea of what to expect in any contract litigation. We analyze your case to see whether a breach can be proven, whether you can obtain injunctive relief to compel the performance of a particular term, or whether any counterclaims are available to the party charged with breach.
We also know how to identify legally sound bases of damages calculations, which can vary a great deal depending on the terms of the contract and its subject. Obviously, the better idea you have as to the potential gain or loss in contract litigation, the sounder your strategic decisions are likely to be.
Our careful attention to both the facts and the law from the earliest stages of the case not only helps us prepare for motions hearings and trial, it also gives us important leverage toward achieving an early negotiated resolution on satisfactory terms.
