Breach of Contract
The rules of contract interpretation vary from state to state, but all states have remedies for people and business entities that have been damaged as a result of a breach of contract. If you are involved in a contract dispute, the best way to protect your rights is to contact a lawyer.
Depending on the facts of your case, an attorney may be able to help you seek money damages or specific performance of a contract term. In some cases, you may also be able to recover reasonable costs and attorney's fees associated with a breach of contract lawsuit.
Although it is impossible to provide a comprehensive list of business and commercial contracts, some of the most common types of contract claims involve:
| Construction contracts | Vendor agreements |
| Purchase and sales agreements | Partnership agreements |
| Real estate contracts | Trade agreements |
| Business sales and mergers agreements | Franchise agreements |
| Investment and capital agreements | Supply contracts |
| Joint venture agreements | Lease agreements |
| Noncompete agreements | Parts contracts |
| Disputes over fair market value | Trade secrets disputes |
