Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating the legal complexities of contract disputes in Michigan, New York and New Jersey requires clear answers to fundamental structural questions. The following FAQ addresses the primary concerns we encounter when helping entrepreneurs and corporations protect their business interests.
What are some common forms of contract issues business owners typically come across?
Common issues include material breaches and anticipatory breaches, as well as disputes over whether a contract meets the requirements of the statute of frauds for enforceability. We also frequently see disputes stemming from vague language regarding payment schedules, delivery timelines or the scope of work, particularly in real estate and service-based industries.
What can business owners do when preparing contracts to avert these problems?
Clarity is your best defense. Contracts should include explicit definitions of performance standards, hard deadlines and clear “exit clauses.” Utilizing robust dispute resolution clauses – such as mandatory mediation or specified venues for litigation – can also prevent a disagreement from spiraling into an unmanageable expense.
How can an experienced business law attorney help?
Experience allows an attorney to see the hidden risks in a document before it is signed. At Kravis & Associates, PLLC, we analyze your contracts through the lens of litigation, identifying loopholes that an adversary might exploit. If a dispute has already begun, we provide the aggressive, straightforward representation needed to negotiate a favorable settlement or prevail in court.
