I concentrate my practice in all matters involving business and the environment. I represent businesses from their inception - and through the company’s growth.Contract Litigation
Unfortunately despite everyone’s best intentions a dispute between parties to a contract develops. These disputes can arise under many circumstances. Whether it is a customer who does not want to pay for the products or services that a business delivered or conversely a customer contracted for goods or services and the business did not meet its obligations. As an example, a home improvement contractor was hired to perform renovations to a kitchen. They did not complete the job or did so in an unacceptable manner.
Disputes can also arise between business partners or employees or former employees. Business partners could decide they no longer wish to stay in business together but cannot agree on how to separate. Employees may have created a hostile work environment for each other and the employer is now the subject of a lawsuit. A former employee may have left the company and begun working for a competitor. Before that employee left they took customers lists and other propriety information.
Another area where disputes between parties can occur is the buying and selling of homes. Either the buyer or the seller may attempt to cancel the contract in a way which is not permitted by the contract. Other times, after the closing has taken place the Buyers discover something about the property they believe was hidden or not disclosed by the seller. For example, several days after the closing, the basement floods and the buyers lose many of the possession. At no time prior to closing was flooding in the basement ever disclosed. The Buyers want to recover the damages against the Seller for their fraud.
All of the examples above can usually be worked out without the resort to filing a lawsuit. Maybe mediation is an appropriate option so that the business relationship can be salvaged. Maybe emotions of the parties are too high and the attorneys can negotiate a solution that meets everybody’s needs. If all else fails, then I have the experience to pursue or defend a lawsuit in a way that is efficient and gets the job done.
