Virtually all businesses depend on contracts to carry out transactions. Disagreements over the terms of contracts, a party’s failure to honor them or other circumstances that interfere with performance can cause economic losses and affect a business’s operations and reputation. Morris County business contracts dispute attorney Kevin Kutyla, Esq. helps clients resolve disputes in ways that preserve vital business relationships while obtaining financial compensation that may be deserved. 

Common causes of contract disputes

Contract disputes often arise because of:

• Breaches of contractual duties
• Inability to complete performance
• Non-payment of amounts due
• Ambiguity of terms
• Misrepresentations by either party
• Claims of contract invalidity

I will analyze your situation to determine if you have a cause of action or a valid defense and represent you in resolving the dispute.

Contracts that susceptible to disputes

I handle cases arising from a wide variety of contracts, such as the following:

• Franchise, partnership and other business agreements

Many of these contractual disputes can be resolved productively through negotiation, mediation or arbitration, averting a court case whenever possible.

Options for resolving contract disputes in New Jersey

There are several ways for you to resolve contract disputes:

• Negotiation — You and the other party, and your respective lawyers, can engage in structure discussions to settle the disputed issues.
• Mediation — You can hire a mediator to guide you and the opposing party toward a mutually satisfactory settlement.
• Arbitration— This is an alternative means of dispute resolution in which the parties choose a private judge to decide the matter in a confidential and more flexible forum.
• Litigation — Many times, it’s impossible to resolve a civil dispute except through litigation, in which a court or jury decides the matter.

I will provide you with reliable and effective representation as I pursue the most efficient means of resolution possible.
