Commercial Litigation: Breach of Contract Claims

Contracts are involved in most business relationships and form the basis of lawsuits where one or both parties have breached the terms of the agreement. H. Benjamin Sharlin counsels clients through the pursuit or defense of these claims and provides guidance as to the most cost-effective and practical options. There are many types of breach of contract cases and some examples include: breach of shareholder agreements, breach of buy-sell agreements, breach of construction contracts, breach of service contracts, breach of commercial leases, breach of partnership agreements and breach of loan agreements. At the core of a breach of contract claim are three basic elements: (1) a valid and enforceable contract; (2) breach of the contract; and (3) damages.
