What Breach of Contract Cases Do We Handle?

We assist businesses in various industries and of all sizes in handling breach of contract disputes, including the following.

Minor Breaches

This is a partial breach of the contract, where an immaterial provision of the contract was not performed.

For example, let’s say you hired a landscaper to do your backyard. The job was done on time, but there were errors in the use of certain plants. Due to these errors, you may be able to ask for monetary damages or corrections to the landscape.

Anticipatory Breaches

Parties can claim that a contract is broken when it is clear the other party will not be able to fulfill their end within the allotted time.

For example, suppose you hired a painter to complete a portrait of you by February 1, but the painter hasn’t even started it by January 31. In that case, you can try to collect monetary damages, as it is clear the painter won’t finish on time.

Material Breaches

This refers to the failure of one party to perform a contract’s essential duties. Because material breaches are considered serious, you can seek damages in court.

For instance, let’s say you hired a contractor to paint your home for $8,000. The contractor completed painting your home, but you have not paid him, and therefore, did not hold up your end of the contract. The contractor can take this to court and demand higher monetary compensation.

Fundamental (Total) Breaches

This is an extremely serious breach, allowing an injured party to not only sue for damages but also terminate the performance of the agreement.

To illustrate, imagine you have a lease agreement to rent a property. However, when you show up at the property, you find it has already been leased to someone else. As the “injured party,” you can sue the property manager and terminate your lease agreement.

Legal Remedies Available in Contract Disputes

Depending on the situation, your business may be entitled to several forms of relief. Our Pasadena breach of contract lawyers can help you pursue the remedies that best serve your financial and operational interests.

Monetary remedies include:

Compensatory damages to recoup losses directly caused by the breach
Consequential damages for additional financial harm stemming from the breach
Liquidated damages when pre-agreed amounts apply

Non-monetary remedies include:

Specific performance, which compels the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations
Rescission, which involves canceling the contract entirely
Reformation, a process that modifies the contract to reflect what the parties originally intended
