When Does Breach of Contract Litigation Become Necessary?

Business contracts and commercial agreements are the foundation of all functioning companies and business entities. However, it is inevitable that at some point there will be a breach of contract due to bad faith or extenuating circumstances. Therefore, businesses should seek to use well written contracts to provide for remedies involving breach. Common issues that arise in commercial litigation include:

  • Interpretation issues of contract provisions

  • Bad faith breach

  • Unwillingness or inability to cure

  • Need for injunctive relief or restraining order

  • Unjust harm and loss

  • Intellectual property infringement
