BREACH OF CONTRACT
Commercial contracts provide a layer of protection for business owners, as it set out the responsibilities of each party involved. A contract is essentially a series of obligations that are required when businesses decide to begin a working relationship. A breach of contract occurs when a business fails to meet its obligations within the set timeframe.
If your business partner, landlord or tenant has breached their contract, we recommend you seek legal advice immediately. Your lawyer will be able to assess the situation and recommend the best way forward for you. This can involve negotiations, submitting claims to the tribunal, or entering into commercial litigation.
COMMERCIAL LITIGATION
If an agreement can’t be reached between the parties involved, you may be required to submit the case to court, and a Judge will determine the most appropriate method of settling the dispute. It’s always recommended that you seek legal representation for commercial litigation cases, as a lawyer can greatly increase your chances of success. Your lawyer will be responsible for collecting evidence and explaining legal terms, and they will guide you through the litigation process.
