A contract is an agreement creating obligations
enforceable by law. The basic elements of a contract are mutual assent,
consideration, capacity, and legality. Possible remedies for breach of
contract include general damages, consequential damages, reliance
damages, and specific performance.

Breach of Contract
A contract case usually comes before a judge because one or both
parties claim that the contract was breached. A breach of contract is a
failure, without legal excuse, to perform any promise that forms all or
part of the contract.
If one party to a contract does not live up to its side of the
bargain, that is known as breach of contract, and the other party can
sue for any damages that resulted from the breach. These damages are not
necessarily physical. They can also include profits lost on sales that
fell through and time wasted in waiting for deliveries that did not
arrive as promised.
Breach of contract is a fairly common occurrence in the world of business, and happens for various reasons. At Steve Dixon Law, our contract attorneys represent clients in all types of breach of contract cases, including:
