What if someone has breached our contract?
In circumstances where there has been a breach of a contract, we can assist you in exploring the possible remedies available for you, whether this be by negotiating a resolution on your behalf, representing you in any alternative dispute resolution process that the parties may elect to take part in, or commencing legal proceedings acting on your behalf to enforce a contract (specific performance) or seek compensation for the breach of contract (damages).
Should I seek legal advice before signing a Contract?
It is always a good idea that you seek legal advice before signing a Contract, especially if you are unfamiliar with any terms or do not completely understand the agreement. It is better to understand what you are signing up-front so that you are aware of your rights and obligations from the outset and throughout the course of the Contract, and also to minimise the chances of a dispute under the Contract arising in the future. Rockliffs Lawyers can advise you in relation to the terms and conditions in a contract and can recommend changes to the contract terms to best protect your interests and if requested, negotiate such amendments on your behalf.
