The other side did not perform. Or says you did not.
A contract dispute usually starts with a missed delivery, an unpaid invoice, or a termination letter nobody expected. We read the agreement and the record, tell you plainly where you stand, and work to resolve it, whether you are pursuing the claim or defending against one.
Fee basis: Flat fees for defined steps such as a demand; a written arrangement if the matter escalates.
If a deadline is near, call.

What to gather
You do not need all of this before the first call, but the sooner we have it, the sooner we can give you a real answer.

The work, not a time entry.
A written view of the contract, the breach, and your options, then the notice, demand, or response and the negotiation that follows.
- 01
A written assessment
What the contract requires, whether there was a breach, which defenses apply, what the liability and notice clauses do, and the options that make sense.
- 02
Notice and demand
A notice of breach, cure demand, or demand letter that follows the contract's own procedures, or a response to one sent to you.
- 03
A view on remedies
What recovery may realistically be available, which can include damages, termination, and in some cases attorney's fees, depending on the contract and the claim.
- 04
Negotiation and resolution
Negotiation with the other side, mediation if needed, and a settlement or amendment that resolves it.
What working with us looks like.
- 01
Send the agreement
A short call, then the contract and the key documents through a secure channel.
- 02
Assessment
We tell you what the contract says, where you stand, and what we recommend, with the fee in writing.
- 03
Notice or demand
If the contract calls for notice and an opportunity to cure, we make sure it is done right. Then the demand, or the response.
- 04
Negotiate
We deal with the other side on your instructions, toward payment, performance, an amendment, or an exit.
- 05
Resolve or escalate
A settlement agreement, or mediation, arbitration, or litigation with counsel we bring in and manage.
Timing depends on the matter, the documents, and how quickly decisions come back. We agree on expectations at the start.
If one of these is true, it is time to talk.
Send a short description through the intake form, or call. The next step is a short call.
- 01A delivery is late or defective, and the other side will not fix it.
- 02You received a notice of breach or a termination letter.
- 03You are deciding whether you can terminate without becoming the party in breach.
- 04A customer or partner is withholding payment and blaming your performance.
- 05Someone has tendered an indemnity claim to you.
