Understanding Contract Disputes & Breach Of Contract

Contracts are legally binding agreements that require all parties to uphold their obligations—or face potential legal consequences. For businesses, contracts serve as the foundation for nearly every operation, from client relationships and vendor agreements to employment terms and service delivery. Without these enforceable documents, trust between parties would erode and essential transactions could break down.

Fortunately, Texas law upholds the enforceability of valid contracts. If a dispute arises, the harmed party has the right to pursue legal action. At Grisham & Kendall, PLLC, we assist clients in all phases of contract disputes, whether through pre-litigation negotiation or formal contract litigation. Our goal is to resolve conflicts efficiently while protecting your financial and legal interests.

Contract Dispute Resolutions

The economy relies on contracts to ensure that parties who enter into contracts are accountable for their promises. In many contracts, there are already terms and conditions in place concerning what will happen to a party if they fail to fulfill the terms of the contract. Such self-enforcement techniques often include loss of equity, repayment, and asset redistribution.

If the self-enforcement terms are not enough to get both parties to cooperate, contract law is in place to process any claims regarding contract disputes in local courts. Judges will review the contract and listen to each party’s defense before determining if a breach of contract occurred. While these court proceedings are typically quicker than other legal cases, the costs associated with them are significant and can easily make legally enforcing a contract inefficient.

When To Hire A Breach of Contract Lawyer

Before pursuing litigation in a contract dispute, it is important to consider alternative dispute resolution methods. Arbitration and mediation allow many parties in contract disputes to settle their claim without incurring the high costs of court fees and spent time. However, if a party refuses to consider renegotiating the terms of the contract, litigation may be the only remaining option to enforce a contract.
