Commercial Litigation & Contract Disputes
Contracts are legal instruments by which parties exchange promises, services, or goods. Although these agreements are typically entered into with the expectations of a beneficial relationship, disputes arise nonetheless. Contracts are broken for a variety of reasons which sometimes include intentional breaches due to the economic benefits one party may incur by breaching rather than honoring the contractual obligations. Other reasons include breach due to unexpected events/ conditions and the unwillingness of one contracting party to satisfy the contractual arrangements. These contractual arrangements are legally enforceable and therefore, more often than not, lead to litigation.
