Breach of Contract and Contractual Disputes

Occurence of breach of contract and contractual disputes

Breaches of contractual obligations and contractual disputes are sadly a regular occurrence in many business relationships. However, some breaches are so severe that they may necessitate legal action on your part, in which case you will need the advice of a solicitor.

Contract disputes occur for all types of contract and in each industry. This is why if you are the subject of a contractual dispute we will make sure that we put you in touch with a solicitor who has experience of your business so that they can give you the most relevant and up to date advice. A solicitor will quickly be able to advise you whether you have a claim and if you are likely to be successful and recover damages.

Using a specialist solicitor

Our solicitors can advise you on all types of contract disputes, including:

• Sale of goods
• Supply of services
• Agency
• Distribution and franchise agreements
• Business to business collaborations, including joint ventures
• IT software agreements
• Marketing and sponsorship agreements

For any dispute relating to a contract, we will be able to put you in touch with a solicitor who has the relevant commercial background in your area.

Finally, whilst taking action for breach of contract is sometimes necessary, effective drafting of contractual agreements can serve to minimize any ambiguity in contractual arrangements and therefore reduce the potential for misunderstandings and disputes. Seeking a solicitor’s advice at the drafting stage can therefore help to reduce the possibility of contractual disputes and the associated costs (please see our contracts solicitors page for further information).
