BUSINESS LAW FAQs

What is a Breach of Contract?

A contract is a legally binding agreement in which one or more parties have made an offer that was accepted by the other party. When any of the parties fail to fulfill the obligations or duties of the contract, a breach of contract has occurred. Often, this involves the failure of one party to pay for or deliver the agreed upon goods or services. When someone has broken the terms of the contract, it is possible to sue them for damages.

A business lawyer can pursue or defend the breach of contract lawsuit. To successfully sue in a breach of contract case, it is first necessary to establish the existence of a contract. A contract is not enforceable unless it is signed by all parties without the inclusion of duress. It may also be necessary to prove the terms of the contract were not fulfilled. For these reasons, having well-written terms with clear context is important to protect the rights and assets of all signers.

What are Business Transactions?

A business transaction involves the way a company plans, negotiates, and drafts legal documents that involve operating the business, purchasing or selling supplies, goods, or services. Business transactions help to form the foundation of all companies from local, family-owned businesses to large corporations.

A business attorney can help with every step of the transactional process to ensure the process is smooth and legally sound. A business transaction attorney will oversee all aspects of documentation while advocating for positive terms on the client’s behalf. A business transaction can include business formation, purchase or sale agreements, construction agreements, real estate lease agreements, mergers and acquisitions, licensing and trademark agreements, equipment leases, and many other business contracts.

How Can a Company Force Another Company’s Actions?

When a business would like to stop another company from pursuing something, injunctive relief is necessary. This means the business takes the other to court and is successful through settlement or verdict after a lawsuit and/or civil trial. The injunction stops a defendant from continuing on with the specified activity. A business attorney can help pursue preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, or a temporary restraining order to address legal wrongdoing.

There are many situations in which injunctive relief may be involved. For example, if a business owner recognizes products being made by a competitor that infringe upon the other’s trademark, the business may pursue injunctive relief to stop the other company from producing the specific product. Injunctive relief may also be a factor in bankruptcy, breach of contract, theft of clients, and minority shareholder actions.

How Can a Business Dispute Affect an Organization?

Business disputes should be addressed effectively in the quickest manner possible to prevent any escalation from negatively impacting the company. Whether the issue involves a partnership dispute, a conflict with an employee, or a lawsuit from a vendor, the business could face many consequences if the matter is not handled appropriately. A business litigation attorney can help a company deal with the full spectrum of business conflicts.

When business disputes are not well-managed, the conflict can affect the company’s bottom line by hurting sales and revenue, decreasing employee productivity, impacting employee turnover, forcing complex organizational leadership changes, harming the company’s reputation, increasing the possibility of violence in the workplace, or lowering employee morale. In addition, the company may be the subject of a lawsuit and engaged in litigation through a costly or lengthy court trial.
