Kansas City and Independence Contract Law
The legal team at our Kansas City and Independence-area firm has helped many clients with their contract law claims. A contract lawyer from Bottaro, Morefield, Kubin & Yocum, L.C., can help you and your business analyze the circumstances surrounding your contract law claim and obtain compensation for any material losses you have sustained.
Breach of Contract
When two or more parties enter into a contractual agreement, they are obligated to act in accordance with the intent of the contract. A breach of contract occurs when one of the parties involved fails to carry out his or her obligations. Although each case will vary depending on the specifics of the contract, a breach of contract generally takes place when:
- A party fails to perform its duties within the time period specified in the contract
- A party does not perform its duties to the level of performance promised
- One party makes it impossible for the other to perform its duties
- A party does not perform its duties at all
Under contract law, the breach of contract can be categorized as material or immaterial, depending on the type of damages the at-fault party has caused. A material or total breach occurs when the duty not performed is so essential that the main purpose of the contract cannot be fulfilled. An immaterial, or partial, breach occurs when the majority of the duties specified in the contract have still been performed. You can still seek damages after a partial breach, but you cannot terminate the contract.
Like consumer and securities fraud, breach of contract is a serious business dispute that can adversely affect the success of your company. Our Kansas City and Independence-area contract lawyers have helped businesses and individuals recover damages from those who were negligent in fulfilling their contractual obligations. Although contract law can be quite complex, our experienced attorneys will make the legal process as simple and straightforward as possible so that you can continue to focus on your business concerns.
Tortious Interference with Contract
When a person or company wrongfully interferes with a contract between others, causing one person to breach the contract, it is known as tortious interference. In cases such as these, the party that interfered with the contract can be held liable for the damages occurring as a result. For example, a contract lawyer from our firm recently obtained a jury award of substantial actual and punitive damages on behalf of a man who suffered financial losses because an individual persuaded our client's business partner to terminate his partnership with our client without compensation. Our lawyers can help you obtain financial compensation when you have been affected by a violation of contract law.
