Answer 1. In many cases, a breach allows the non-breaching party to pursue remedies such as damages or termination under the contract. The appropriate remedy depends on the terms and circumstances. The goal is to restore or compensate for losses.

Answer 2. Yes. Depending on the contract and law, remedies can include damages or specific performance. A lawyer helps assess feasibility and likelihood of success.
