Contracts dominate our business and consumer relationships. There are many different types of contracts. There are contracts between individuals, between businesses, and those between individuals and businesses. Common types of contracts include:

Employer/employee contracts
Landlord/tenant contracts
Business/client contracts
Business/business contracts

In all of these cases, the contract itself is a critically important document and in some cases a well-written contract can head off potential disputes before they begin. Unfortunately, any relationship established by a contract is at risk for a dispute or legal issue. These disputes can cover a wide variety of issues including:

One of the parties not living up to their end of the contract (breach of contract)
Contract language is too vague and left room for potential dispute.
Trade secret disputes
Disputes over fair market value
Unfair competition
Collections disputes
Partnership disputes
Non-compete agreements
Breach of contract
Policy and procedure disputes

Contract disputes can be very upsetting and frustrating for the parties involved. The parties may have believed that they had a mutually beneficial agreement in place, only to discover later on that there was a misunderstanding. There are a specific set of laws governing the creation, assignment, breach and dissolution of relationships created by contracts. A qualified attorney can help you navigate these issues while protecting your rights.
