Corporate Commercial Litigation
Calculate, evaluate and respond to all types of claims of contract damages
Contact usContractual agreements form the principal basis for most businesses and business relationships. After entering the contract, disputes may arise when the parties later disagree regarding the meaning and/or intention of certain terms, provisions, obligations or compensation due under the subject contract. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute at hand, it may result in arbitration proceedings or litigation in federal or state courts.
In addition to the legal and liability issues, contract disputes often result in a claim of monetary losses in the form of economic damages.
