An action for breach of contract arises when one party fails to perform a promised obligation under a valid contract. The nonbreaching party may seek remedies such as damages or rescission. Remedies depend on the terms of the contract and applicable law.
The duration of a breach case varies with complexity, court schedules, and whether the matter settles. Some cases resolve in a few months; others may take a year or more.
Damages may include compensatory, consequential, and, in some situations, punitive damages. Specific performance or injunctions can be sought when monetary relief is insufficient.
Many breach disputes settle through negotiation or mediation. Litigation is an option when a fair agreement cannot be reached.
Bring the contract, related amendments, communications, invoices, and records of performance or nonperformance to the consultation.
In California, attorney’s fees may be recoverable in some contract cases, depending on the contract terms and governing law.
