Contract disputes take many forms: unpaid invoices, failed deliveries, non-compete and non-solicitation violations, partnership and shareholder disagreements, construction and vendor disputes, and real estate contracts that fall apart.
We prepare each case with litigation in mind from the beginning. That means reading the contract closely, preserving the evidence, quantifying the damages, and being ready for court when negotiation is not enough.
How we help
- Analyze the contract and identify the controlling terms
- Send demand letters that get a response
- Pursue damages, specific performance, or injunctive relief
- Defend against claims of breach with every available defense
- Resolve disputes efficiently through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or trial
Remedies available
Compensatory damages, consequential damages where permitted, liquidated damages, specific performance, rescission, and attorney's fees where the contract or a statute provides for them.
Decades of combined trial experience
Our attorneys have first-chaired jury and bench trials, arbitrations, and mediations. Opposing parties know that, and it shapes how they negotiate.
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to sue for breach of contract in Florida?
Generally five years for a written contract and four years for an oral contract, though shorter periods can apply. Act promptly to preserve your rights.
Can I recover attorney's fees?
Only if the contract or a statute provides for them. Many contracts include a prevailing-party fee clause, which can significantly affect strategy.
Is arbitration mandatory?
If the contract contains an arbitration clause, courts usually enforce it. We represent clients in arbitration as well as in court.
