Contract disputes can take many forms and people become involved with them even after having followed the rules of the law and the specific contract. Our firm represents and advises clients in such disputes. We have experience in all aspects of contract law. Our legal practice, including appellate work, is tailored to the needs of each client. We have extensive experience with litigation and appeals, including a full understanding of specific appellate procedural rules. We understand the need for filling deadlines as essential steps that cannot be overlooked or take lightly for risk of dismissal before a case is even heard.
Courts calculate damages by restoring the economic position of the injured party to the "expectation measure" that would occur if the contract were completed according to the terms both direct and legally implied by the contract. If this is not available, the court may attempt to restore the injured party to the "reliance measure" of the economic and physical position that was in place when the contract was entered. In certain conditions, the court may prevent the offending party from being "unjustly enriched" with illegal gains and give "restitution" to those whom they harmed as a result of having them not fulfilling their contractual obligations.
Our years of experience with trial practice at all levels allow us to analyze the issues and risks, as well as the problems of exposure with litigation. We also have expertise in determining when selecting from alternate methods for settlement is in the best interest of clients. We understand when these procedures meet the needs of our clients better than traditional litigation. Our lawyers at DLP will diligently protect your rights and your contracts and get those who wronged you to restore your losses.
