Contract Disputes

Contracts are the foundation of business relationships, from non-compete agreements to sale of goods and services. Contract disputes occur when one party fails to meet their obligations under the terms of the contract or there is a disagreement regarding the implementation, intent or structure of the agreement. Businesses and individuals can suffer significant financial harm as the result of contract disputes as well as loss of reputation, business relationships and more.
