Handling breach of contract cases

If a contract dispute does arise, we can help. One of the most common causes of business disputes is breach of contract. When one party fails to uphold their end of a contract, you need an attorney to manage and resolve the dispute.

Two of the most common contract breaches are:

  • Material breach. This is a breach where one party fails to reach their end of an agreement, rendering the contract “irreparably broken.” The wronged party can go to court to pursue damages for the losses the breached agreement caused.
  • Anticipatory breach (repudiation). This occurs when one party involved in a contract makes it known that they will not be upholding their part of the agreement. The other party can then claim a breach of contract before it is technically broken.
When you are in a contract and feel as though the other party is not upholding their responsibilities, your next step is to send them a notice of breach. This notice explains why you feel the other party has breached your contract and what needs to happen next to either fix the problem or end the contract. When sending a notice of breach, you must include:
  • The date that you are sending the notice
  • A description of the breach
  • The type of breach (material or anticipatory)
  • A way to fix the problem or terminate the contract

It is important to send a notice of breach before you go to court, to prove that you properly informed the other party that they were in danger of breaking your contract.

Once a contract dispute goes to court, there are certain defenses the accused party is likely to make. These are called “affirmative” defenses,” meaning the person who is being sued for the breach will defend their actions by saying the other party does not deserve damages. Common affirmative defenses include:
  • The contract was not in writing
  • The terms were never officially agreed upon
  • There is a mistake in the contract
  • One party was fraudulently induced to sign the contract

Whether you have been accused of breaching a contract or are accusing someone else, our attorneys have the in-depth understanding of contract law to handle your case.

Using collaborative law to resolve business and commercial disputes

If you are in the midst of a business dispute, you probably want to avoid going to court. Litigation can be timely, expensive and stressful. Our attorneys are experienced in collaborative law, meaning that we guide you through the process of resolving your issues outside of court. We work with you, the other party and their lawyers to find the best possible compromise for everyone involved. This process saves time, money and relationships. By working with the other party toward a resolution, you are creating a foundation to possibly work together in the future. If collaborative law does not work, our commercial litigation lawyers can take you through the next steps of the legal process.

Barak Lurie and his team were outstanding. Quality legal representation isn’t cheap, and I went in knowing that — but the results spoke for themselves. They took over my case and had it settled in roughly three months. Matt and Dayne in particular deserve real credit for how they handled it. If you need a firm that moves decisively, this is the one.

We reached out to Lurie and Associates because of all the great things we had heard about them. After the initial conversation, we knew we would be in the best of hands. Every step of the way continued to prove that our chose was the best one. Their professionalism, expertise and commitment was shown at every step towards our final resolution. And that final resolution was a really good one. Thank you Lurie and Associates for all you did, your dedication and care you showed. We would recommend them 100%.
