Contract dispute solicitors in Leeds

Our experienced solicitors can help you find the best solution to any contractual dispute.

A contract is a way of establishing and formalising a business relationship. Often referred to as an ‘agreement’, a contract sets out terms and conditions and gives parties clarity on duties and responsibilities.

If one party alleges that these contractual obligations have not been met, there may be a disagreement. This is a contract dispute.

Our highly-skilled team of litigators routinely provide clear, concise advice on contractual disputes of all types and complexities, both for individuals and businesses.

Whichever side of the dispute you’re on, we’ll help you to know where you stand legally.

We find solutions to contract disputes of all shapes and sizes

Disagreements can arise in a wide range of circumstances, including:

• Restrictive covenants

• Contracts for goods and services, including defective goods, poor service and unpaid invoices

• Credit hire agreements

• Loan agreements

• Retention of title clauses

• Building contracts

• Failure to pay sums due under a contract

• Defective or incomplete performance of contractual works or services

If one party fails to uphold their duties as stated in the terms of the contract, a ‘breach of contract’ has occurred. Breaches of contract can have serious financial and reputational consequences.

For a contract to be valid and legally binding, the parties must agree to its terms and intend to be legally bound. Contractual disputes can be complex, particularly in the absence of a written document or agreement.
