We integrate Illinois contract law into the package of our services, which cuts across all stages of dispute resolution. Whether you need help enforcing a contract, defending a breach of contract claim, or recovering damages, our deep industry knowledge and experience can effectively navigate the complexities of business litigation.
Breach Of Contract Claims
A breach of contract occurs when one of the contracted parties does not fulfill their own end of the terms of an agreement, which in turn is legally binding on the concerned parties. Most common are breaches of contract involving non-delivery of goods or services, failure to pay, or violation of other obligations. At Business Law Group, we represent businesses seeking to enforce their contractual rights and recover damages resulting from a breach.
We have broad experience in the enforcement of Illinois contract law, including the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code (810 ILCS 5/), and can provide you with immediate assistance in pursuing legal action against a party that has breached a contract. We ensure the breaching party is held accountable and your business recovers all applicable compensation under the law.
Contract Drafting And Review
One of the best ways to avoid contract breaches is to ensure your contracts are clear and enforceable, as well as tailored to meet the requirements of your business. Our team can help businesses draft and review contracts designed to reduce potential future disputes. With careful negotiation of contract terms and ensuring that parties are very clear regarding their obligations, we protect your business from probable legal disputes. We also provide contract reviews to identify any weak links and to ensure your contracts obey Illinois law. This proactive approach greatly reduces the risk of disputes and properly positions your business to enforce your contractual rights.
When a breach of contract occurs, it’s crucial to investigate all available remedies for the protection of your business. Available remedies for breach of contract in Illinois include awarding compensatory damages, specific performance, and rescission of the contract. Business Law Group works with businesses to be sure to gain the remedy that is the most impactful based on the circumstances of the failure. Be it recovery of financial damages, enforcement of the contract, or termination of the agreement, we will work for a resolution that suits your needs and protects your business’s interests. With years of experience in Illinois law, we can provide strategic guidance regarding each case on the best course of action.
Dispute Resolution: Negotiation, Mediation, and Arbitration
Although a number of breach-of-contract issues have to be litigated, we realize that most businesses want to avoid the time and expense involved in going to court. That is why we also offer alternative dispute resolution services in the areas of negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. These methods help resolve disputes quickly and efficiently while still preserving business relationships. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who push for settlements that benefit our clients. We represent businesses in mediation and arbitration, when necessary, to protect your best interests throughout the process.
Breach Of Contract Litigation
When a solution is found not to have been reached through negotiation or mediation, we will then represent you vigorously in court. Our lawyers have years of experience in the state of Illinois with breach of contract litigation, and we will always fight for the most favorable outcome possible for our clients. We are very flexible in our approach to litigation, adapting it to meet the needs and goals of the business in addition to being responsive to the particulars of a given case. From filing the initial complaint to the introduction of evidence in the courtroom, we support and protect our clients at every stage of the process when enforcing rights and containing further damage to their business.
Defense Against Breach Of Contract Claims
Businesses aren’t always the plaintiff in a breach of contract action — they’re often the other party, defending themselves against claims of breach. In the event that your business faces allegations of breach of contract, Business Law Group will vigorously defend such claims. We will research the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim and potential defenses to the action, such as impossibility of performance, fraud, or mutual mistake. We will strive to protect your company from liability while minimizing possible damages. With years spent dealing with contract practices, we’re here to protect your interests and ensure that your rights are upheld in court.
