Knowledgeable litigator handles breach of contract cases

To run a business smoothly and successfully, owners often have to place their trust in the hands of employees, third-party contractors or other businesses. When that trust is broken, it can affect business operations, profits, consumer confidence and more. When a party to a contract doesn’t perform, there are remedies I can seek for monetary damages or equitable relief. These may include:

  • Compensatory damages — Reimbursement for immediate monetary loss
  • Consequential and incidental damages — Compensation for additional foreseeable losses caused by the breach
  • Attorney fees and costs — Amounts available only if the contract expressly states they are recoverable
  • Liquidated damages — Amounts specified in the contract that are payable for particular breaches, such as late or substandard performance
  • Specific performance — Court order requiring the breaching party to fulfill the terms of the contract
  • Punitive damages — Penalty for a party’s objectionable behavior, meant to punish the breaching party and discourage other parties from acting in a similar manner
  • Rescission — Cancellation of the contract, with both sides excused from further performance and payments made under the contract returned
  • Reformation — Change in the terms of the contract when the court believes there was an honest misunderstanding by the parties about what was to be performed

Attorney Rossi is committed to helping business owners achieve the best legal remedy for breach of contract cases, whether they are the plaintiffs or defendants.
