Helping Clients Find Solutions When A Contractual Agreement Is Disputed
Many business relationships are built upon contractual agreements, which create legal obligations. These relationships may exist between or among business partners, fiduciaries, employees, customers, or vendors. When one party believes that another did not perform or pay as required under a contract, they may have or make a claim that the other party breached it. Often, many subtle and critical legal issues may affect the outcome of a claim of breach of contract.
If you own or run a business facing a breach of contract dispute, you probably have much to lose if you get an unfavorable outcome. Don’t take any chances when it comes to contract law in Florida. Whether you are facing accusations of breach of contract or believe another party is guilty of failing in their contractual obligations, you should take action now to protect your rights and get the greatest chance of the positive outcome you’re hoping for.
To bring an action for breach of contract under Florida law, there must generally be an offer, an acceptance, consideration given, a breach of performance, and resulting damages.

How Is An Enforceable Agreement Established?
An enforceable contractual agreement may be established in several ways. The most commonly known type of contract is one that is written and signed; however, enforceable contracts can be formed under Florida law in other ways. For instance, oral contracts are enforceable under Florida law except for certain circumstances.
Under Florida law, parties’ actions can form a contract in certain circumstances. Text messages, invoices, e-mails, and other communications can be the basis for or evidence of contractual agreements and breaches.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) may dictate when and under what circumstances contracts are formed between businesses. Additionally, even if an enforceable contract is not formed, there may be “quasi-contract” and equitable principles that operate to provide relief to a party who, for instance, acts in reasonable reliance upon the representations of another party or confers a benefit upon another party.
If you are a victim of breach of contract, you should take urgent action to resolve the matter before losing too much time or revenue. These issues can impact your company far into the future as they damage reputations and lead to financial losses. Contact our breach of contract lawyers immediately to discuss your options when another party breaches their oral or written contract by failing to perform contractual obligations.
