CONTRACT DISPUTES
A breach of contract claim would encompass almost any breach of an obligation in the business context – in the context of both written and oral contracts. The breach of contract might give rise to a claim in damages, injunctive or other relief including specific performance.
Bojm, Funt & Gibbons LLP handles litigation arising from all types of contractual breaches. We have experience litigating breach of contracts pertaining to commercial contracts, franchise agreements, commercial leases, employment contracts, contracts for the sale of land, breaches of verbal agreements and many others.
