Helping Clients Pursue and Defend Contract Claims
Nearly all business transactions involve contracts of some kind — whether written, oral, or implied. As a result, when disagreements arise in business, contract disputes often follow. When such disputes arise, the efficient enforcement of valid contracts, successful defense of unjust breach-of-contract allegations, and accurate evaluation of risks require the knowledge that comes with decades of experience litigating and trying contract claims.
At Schachter Harris, LLP, our Dallas contract dispute attorneys have helped clients in Texas and nationwide pursue and defend contract claims involving both written and oral contracts ranging from the simple to the highly complex, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Sales and supply contracts
- Production contracts
- Exclusive dealing agreements
- Option agreements
- Construction contracts
- Merger and acquisition agreements
- Software development contracts
- Personal services and independent contractor agreements
- Employment and labor agreements
- Real estate purchase and lease agreements
- Oil and gas working interest and royalty agreements
- Joint venture, partnership, and shareholder agreements
The common law of contracts extends back many centuries. Moreover, various state and federal laws — and even international treaties — can impact how a contract is interpreted. Thus, a promise that seemed straightforward to the layperson may prove anything but simple to enforce. Even contracts drafted by lawyers can generate massive litigation.
And while some may demean contract litigation as battles over semantics and efforts to find "loopholes," our attorneys have achieved success in contract claims by showing that our clients´ positions rest on solid principles necessary for successful commerce.
