Breach of contract occurs when a party fails to perform a material obligation under a valid agreement. The result can be damages, specific performance, or contract rescission, depending on the circumstances and California law.
The remedies pursued depend on the nature of the breach, the contract terms, and whether the breach is material or minor. Our team helps you evaluate options and choose the best path forward.
In California, a breach of contract is a failure to perform a promise in a contract, where non-performance causes harm to the other party. The contract must be valid, enforceable, and supported by consideration.
To prove a breach, you generally show: a valid contract, an obligation, performance or a breach, and damages. The process often involves drafting demand letters, settlement discussions, and, if necessary, litigation in the appropriate court.
