One of the most common issues that result in litigation occurs when one party to a contract feels that another party has not lived up to their end of the bargain. When disputes under a contract or agreement arise, they often come with feelings of betrayal and disappointment.

Disputes happen over nearly any agreement and a licensed North Carolina Attorney can advise you as to whether you have a case for Breach of Contract. Alternatively, if an individual or entity has alleged breach of contract against you or your business, an attorney experienced in contract disputes will have knowledge of the wide array of defenses and possible counterclaims that you may have available to you.image

While certain contracts must be in writing and signed by the other party to be enforceable, many oral agreements can still be enforced. Your attorney can advise you as to whether the contract at issue in your situation is enforceable or not. It is important to remember that for a Breach of Contract claim to exist, there must have first been a valid contract. A contract is generally valid if there was an offer, the offer was accepted, and the parties to the agreement have received some sort of valuable consideration. When a party fails to live up to its obligations under the agreement this is called a Breach of Contract.

A breach of contract can be either minor or material. This distinction has significant implications as to the obligations of the non-breaching party as well as the potential damages or legal liability resulting the breach. If you or your company is involved in a dispute over a contract or agreement, it is typically in your best interest to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
