Contract Disputes

A contract is a written or spoken agreement.  People and businesses can have a variety of different legal disputes that involve contracts. Contracts can touch all areas of life and they are a fundamental feature of large events in our lives. Whether you are buying a home, finding or giving employment, buying or selling a business, or arranging for complex business deals that involve trade secrets, the language of a contract is one of the most important details to ensure is correct.

Contract disputes can involve simple matters such as collection of money that is owed to very complicated agreements with lenders or partners in a business partnership. What happens when the person or business you had a contract with is refusing to follow the terms of the agreement?
