Contracts are everywhere. Almost every time you agree to do something for someone else in exchange for them doing something for you, you've made a contract.

A contract involves provision of value on each side. A mere promise is not a contract. So, for example, a friend's promise to give you his car, unless you have promised to do something in return, cannot be enforced under contract law.

Because there are so many contracts, breaches of contract are also frequent. Normally these are trivial and you ignore them, but when they are not, you need expert representation.

There are many ways to resolve contract disputes arising from a breach of contract.

Expert Legal Advice and Representation for Contractual Disputes

We know that contract disputes can be costly and can prevent you carrying out your business as usual. What begins as a minor disagreement, can evolve into a large-scale dispute that you were not expecting causing both parties financial and logistical difficulty. As a result, you should contact a specialist contract disputes solicitor as early as possible to find out your position and what your options are moving forward. Outlined below are the key things to consider in any contract dispute.

Who are the parties to the contract?

The terms that will be accepted by the courts will often depend on who the parties to the contracts are. Courts are less willing to accept exclusions and limitations in employment contracts and consumer contracts where one party may have much better bargaining power. We have experience representing all sides in contract disputes and will be able to advise you of the best course of action for your circumstances.

What are the terms of the contract?

This is possibly the most basic area to examine when a dispute arises – what does the contract say? This will identify the type of breach that has occurred, whether it is a fundamental breach, and whether the contract terms may have been varied. Contract terms can be varied either expressly in writing, or by the conduct of the parties. Therefore, the terms of the written contract are not always what the court will determine that parties’ obligations are under the contract. Only expert contract disputes solicitors have the practical know-how and litigation experience to fully advise you of your obligations, and the other party’s obligations under the law.

Has the contract been breached?

In a contract dispute, it can often be unclear as to whether the contract has been fundamentally breached, or which party is at fault. Where there is no fundamental breach of contract, the contract may continue, and the parties will still be bound to perform their obligations. This is where contract disputes can become complex and why it essential to instruct a contract disputes specialist, who can represent your interests with confidence end expertise.

What loss has been suffered?

There are a number of remedies available for breach of contract. However, the appropriate remedy will depend on the loss that has been suffered as a result of the breach.
