Breach of contract
Action against breaches of contractual obligations in sales, leases, construction contracts and commercial agreements. Involvement in pre-litigation demand and negotiation, as well as judicial defence to enforce performance, rescind the contract or claim damages.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Contract and conduct review
We analyse the breached contract, communications between the parties and available evidence to precisely identify the extent and nature of the breach.
Demand and negotiation
We issue a formal demand for performance or termination and actively explore a negotiated resolution that minimises costs and time for the client.
Litigation strategy and claim
We determine the most appropriate action — specific performance, termination or damages — and prepare the claim with a robust evidentiary basis.
Defence in counterclaim or appeal
We manage the response to any counterclaims and, where necessary, prepare the relevant appeals to defend the client's position at all levels.
Who this is for
Companies across all sectors that have suffered a breach of a commercial, construction, distribution or services contract. Also individuals with breached sale or lease agreements who need advice to assess their options before resorting to litigation.
