If you are concerned that another party to a contract may have breached its terms (e.g. by providing a faulty product, providing unsatisfactory services or by failing to pay), you may have a claim against them.

We can provide clear and practical advice on the process, your rights and options, any risks that may exist, and what solutions may be available to you.

The most common remedies are:

Damages (compensation) to compensate you for loss or damage caused by the breach of contract;
A court order forcing the other party to perform their obligations under the contract (known as specific performance);
A court declaration stating what the terms of the contract are.
