BREACH OF CONTRACT

CONTACT US

When a party breaches a contract, it can cost you money, time and opportunity. We help businesses and individuals in Ontario take decisive legal action when the other side doesn’t hold up their end of the deal.

What Is A Breach Of Contract?

A breach of contract happens when one party fails to fulfill their obligations under a legally binding agreement. 

Some breaches are minor. Material breaches, however, go to the heart of the agreement: it gives you the right to terminate the contract and sue for your full losses.

Who Do We Act For?

We act for:

  • Business owners dealing with suppliers, partners, or clients who have failed to perform their obligations;
  • Contractors and service providers who have not been paid for work completed;
  • Buyers and sellers in real estate or commercial transactions that have gone wrong; and,
  • Professionals whose contracts have been terminated without legal justification.
