If you’re facing a contract issue that threatens your company’s success, our legal team is here to protect your rights and help you find a path forward that minimizes disruption to your business.
What Is a Breach of Contract?
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform any term of a contract without a valid legal excuse. Common examples include:
- Failure to deliver goods or services
- Missed deadlines
- Non-payment
- Providing substandard work
- Violating confidentiality or non-compete clauses
Breaches are typically classified as:
- Material breach: A serious failure that undermines the contract’s purpose
- Minor breach: A technical or partial failure that may still cause disruption
- Anticipatory breach: When a party indicates they won’t fulfill their obligations in the future
Regardless of the type, breaches can lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and lost business opportunities. Timely, strategic action is essential to protect your interests.
