Breach of Contract

At the heart of almost any commercial litigation lies a breached contract. Contracts can be involved in almost any business, non-profit, or governmental pursuit. Lanier Ford’s litigation attorneys represent clients in pursuing breach-of-contract claims. They thoroughly analyze the contract, the counterclaims and defenses, and prepare and present a client’s claims and defenses effectively and efficiently.

Among the many types of contract disputes our attorneys have litigated are the following:

• Professional service agreements.
• Insurance contracts, particularly coverage disputes.
• Employment contracts, especially noncompetition and confidentiality agreements.
• Vendor, distributor, and supplier agreements.
