Breach of Contract Lawsuits

Many business disputes involve breach of contract or disagreement about what a contract with a party outside the company calls for. Contracts are legal agreements between two parties that give rise to duties and obligations for both of them. If your company enters into a contract, you will not only have a legal obligation to fulfill requirements under the contract, but also the right to expect that the other party or parties will also fulfill their end of the bargain. Contractual breaches occur when one party to the agreement doesn’t fulfill a legal obligation created by the contract. Breaches may involve major or minor failures to perform obligations.

When a party fails to fulfill obligations under the terms of the contract, and there was no legal justification for the breach, the other part to the agreement may sue for damages and other relief, including, in some cases, specific performance. The other party may elect not to perform his obligations, but in some cases, one party has already performed, and in that case, non-performance is not a possibility.

Ownership Disputes

Many businesses are formed due to the shared dreams of founders. However, within a company, among partners, shareholder or LLC members, differences of opinion may arise about the business’s operations or next steps. Common ownership disputes may center on unfulfilled business goals, disputes about important decisions, business failures, economic pressures, and personal life challenges, as well as other pressures from those outside the company, such as those who with whom the company does business.

While a company’s behavior may be determined by the terms of a written agreement, such as a partnership agreement, there are also situations in which those terms are ambiguous such that the parties disagree about what they mean. In other cases, the agreement may not have been put into a writing at all. Ownerships disputes can involve complex human relationships, and it is crucial to select a business litigation attorney based in Los Angeles who has a savvy understanding of competing interests, as well as the law, and can use those to achieve the best results in your case.
