A breach of contract claim can occur when a company fails to deliver compensation to an employee under the terms of an employment agreement, when the seller of a home fails to perform in accordance with the buy-sell agreement, or in any other kind of business transaction governed by a contract or agreement.

The remedy in a breach of contract claim is to put you in the same position you would have been in if the contract had never been violated. The court can either compel performance under the terms of the contract or allow you to collect compensation for damages caused by the breach.

Our lawyers provide our clients with an honest and unsparing evaluation of the merits of their claims (or defenses) and a fair estimate of the likely cost and time that may be involved. We make it a point to map out an appropriate strategy for each client and each claim, so that costs are kept within control.

As with other types of disputes, our lawyers first explore the possibilities of settlement. In many instances, a potentially expensive and time-consuming litigation can be quickly resolved through face-to-face negotiations with the parties and/or their attorneys, or through mediation/arbitration. However, when litigation is unavoidable, we have extensive courtroom experience at both the federal and state level.

Our attorneys handle breach of contract claims in federal and state courts in the New York City area, including the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island, as well as Rochester, Buffalo, and White Plains.
