Contract disputes, from either side

For the company owed money, the company accused of breach, and the people who signed for either.

Most business lawsuits are about a contract: a supplier who stopped delivering, a customer who stopped paying, a former employee who took the client list. We read the agreement first, then the emails around it, because the case is usually in the gap between the two.

We act for the side bringing the claim and the side answering it. Before anything is filed, we tell you in writing what the contract supports, what it would cost to prove, and whether a demand letter is likely to end it.

What a contract case can turn on

  • Unpaid invoices and accounts

    Collecting what a customer owes, or answering a claim that you owe more than you do.

  • Supply and service agreements

    Missed deliveries, failed software projects, terminated distributors and price disputes.

  • Non-competes and client lists

    Enforcing a restrictive covenant, or defending the employee or the new employer against one.

  • Deals that came apart

    Asset purchases, earn-outs and letters of intent where one side says the other walked away.

Sample matters

Three contract cases, start to finish

  • Settled, $86,000

    Unpaid software services, for the vendor

    Settled at mediation after written discovery

  • Dismissed

    Non-compete claim against a former sales manager, for the employee

    Dismissed on a motion before discovery began

  • Judgment, $41,500

    Supply agreement dispute, for a food distributor

    Two-day bench trial

Sample matters, for illustration. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome; every case turns on its own facts, its law and its court.
