Contract Disputes

Contract Dispute Lawyers in Edmonton, Alberta

Contracts are the foundation of business and personal agreements, providing clarity and protection for all parties involved. However, disputes can arise over contract terms, fulfillment, or interpretation, potentially leading to financial losses and damaged relationships. Cambria LLP provides skilled legal representation for individuals and businesses involved in contract disputes in Edmonton and across Alberta. Our experienced team works to resolve conflicts efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or litigation to protect your interests and achieve the best possible outcome.

Breach of Contract

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the agreement, either by failing to perform, performing inadequately, or violating specific terms. Breach of contract cases can be complex, especially if there is disagreement about the terms or whether the breach was material. At Cambria LLP, we help clients navigate breach of contract cases, seeking solutions that minimize losses and, when necessary, pursuing damages to compensate for financial harm.

Types of Breach of Contract

Material Breach. A serious violation undermines the contract's purpose, often allowing the non-breaching party to terminate the agreement and seek damages.
Minor (Non-Material) Breach. A less severe breach does not fundamentally affect the contract's terms, though the non-breaching party may still seek compensation.
Anticipatory Breach. It occurs when one party indicates they will not fulfill their contractual obligations before the deadline, allowing the other party to seek remedies in advance.
Actual Breach. When one party directly fails to fulfill their part of the agreement by the specified time.

Our Breach of Contract Services Include

Contract Review and Analysis. We review the contract to assess the breach's terms, obligations, and nature to determine the best course of action.
Negotiation and Mediation. We work with the other party to seek a fair resolution outside of court to minimize time and expense.
Litigation Support. If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we provide assertive representation in court, pursuing compensation for financial damages and enforcing contract terms.

Service agreements are standard in many industries, covering everything from professional services to property maintenance and beyond.

Unauthorized Charges or Overbilling. Disputes over unexpected fees or charges not outlined in the contract.
Failure to Meet Deadlines. Missed timelines that impact the other party's ability to conduct business or meet obligations.

Our Service Disagreement Services Include

Assessment of Service Contracts and Agreements. We analyze the service agreement to determine contractual obligations and potential breaches.
Negotiation for Fair Compensation or Completion of Services. We negotiate with the service provider to seek fulfillment, compensation, or an amicable resolution.
Representation in Mediation or Litigation. If a settlement cannot be reached, we represent clients in mediation or court to resolve the issue effectively and protect their rights.
