What are the Best Strategies for Resolving a Breach of Contract Dispute in San Diego?

What are the best strategies for resolving a breach of contract dispute in San Diego?  That usually depends upon the goals of our client.  What is the nature of the contract and the relationship between the two parties?  If the other party is an important business relationship the strategy can be much different than situations where our client simply wants the matter resolved in an efficient manner.

The fastest, least expensive and most common strategy is leveraged negotiation.   The Watkins Firm prepares each case as if it is going to trial from the outset, but we are able to resolve most breach of contract cases through negotiations focused upon negotiating a settlement which meets the goals and objectives of our client.  If the relationship is important to our client we may negotiate a written modification to the initial contract that provides the other party an opportunity to fulfill their end of the bargain while compensating our client for the breach and associated costs. Our attorneys quickly get to the core of the dispute at hand, establish damages and use these to gain leverage over the other party.  Once we have their attention we work to build and maintain a constructive negotiation atmosphere.  Most of these cases are resolved by our skilled legal team through effective leveraged negotiation. When genuine disagreement or issues exist mediation or arbitration are proven to be more private, confidential, timely and cost-effective options than litigation in a Court of law.

The Key to a Breach of Contract is Damages

Business contract disputes are legally resolved through financial damages.  What are the actual costs associated with the breach?  What will it cost the party responsible for the breach to place the victim of the breach in a position where they have achieved the original “benefit of the bargain” established in the original contract?  The victim of the breach of contract has a legal responsibility to do everything reasonably possible to mitigate the damages.  The failure to do so can provide partial or complete legal relief to the breaching party.  We protect our clients, ensure that if they are the victim of the breach they have met their responsibility to mitigate their losses, and if they bear some responsibility for the breach they have done everything possible to remediate and/or limit the damages.  We follow our proven strategies  and work to quickly and cost-effectively negotiate a resolution or protect our client’s interests through mediation and/or arbitration

However, the attorneys at the Watkins Firm have a strong track record of success in business litigation and trial verdicts.  We can represent you at every legal step of a dispute or lawsuit.  This provides additional strength and credibility to your side of the argument.  It lets the other side know you are serious and have the legal strength and power to take it all the way to Court and win.  This provides additional leverage early on to help us to resolve a breach of contract without expensive litigation.
