Experienced, Effective Representation for Breach of Contract
Virtually all businesses in Chicago and elsewhere rely on the services and support of other businesses and individual professionals as well as employees. Most of the time, contracts define these professional relationships and the terms of business transactions, and contracts are typically legally enforceable agreements that are analyzed and enforced under the applicable rules of contract law.
Companies of various sizes deal with contracts daily that involve customers, employees, vendors, suppliers, distributors, and others. These business agreements can range from sizable real estate transactions to new employee contracts and everything in between. If one party fails to uphold their end of the contract, a breach of contract occurs, which can lead to serious legal issues.
If something goes awry in a business relationship, the parties, arbitrators, or the courts will look to the terms of the contract.

They must also an exchange of something valuable, known in contract law as consideration. In other words, the parties must promise to do something they wouldn’t otherwise need to do. This can include performing a service, selling an item, or making a payment in exchange for something of value.
Written contracts can take many forms. They may expressly call it a contract, but an employment agreement, a company handbook, a bill of sale, or a receipt can also serve as evidence of a contractual relationship.
