Breach of contract occurs when a party fails to meet an obligation in a valid agreement, whether written or oral.
Remedies include damages, rescission, or specific performance, depending on the contract terms and the impact on your business.
A breach is a failure to perform as promised. The law provides remedies to return you to the position you would have had if the contract were performed, or to compensate for losses.

A breach occurs when a party fails to perform a contractual duty. The breach can be material or minor, and remedies depend on the contract terms and the impact on your business.
Damages typically include monetary compensation for losses. In some cases, specific performance or injunctive relief may be available.
Duration varies with case complexity, court availability, and activity by the parties. Simple breaches may resolve in months, while complex disputes can take longer.
Settling can save time and preserve relationships. Court resolution may be appropriate when damages are uncertain or performance is essential.
Bring copies of contracts, amendments, correspondence, and a list of damages. Be ready to discuss your goals and constraints with your attorney.
Attorney fees depend on the contract and governing law. We review fee recovery options and may seek it where allowed.
Specific performance can be available in California when the contract involves unique goods or real property and damages are inadequate.
Mediation is a facilitated settlement process. Arbitration is usually private and binding. Both can be faster and less costly than traditional litigation depending on the agreement.
To start a breach claim, you typically file a complaint or demand letter and begin gathering supporting documents. Consult a local attorney to determine the best steps for your situation.
