Contracts are the foundation of business relationships — and when one party fails to honor their obligations, the consequences can be financially devastating. Whether you are enforcing a contract against a breaching party or defending against a breach claim, our business litigation attorneys provide the legal horsepower to achieve the best possible outcome. We handle commercial contract disputes of all sizes across Utah.
Elements of a Breach of Contract Claim
To establish breach of contract, you must prove: (1) a valid contract existed; (2) you performed your obligations under the contract; (3) the other party failed to perform; and (4) you suffered damages as a result. We analyze the contract language, correspondence between the parties, and course of dealing to build the strongest possible case.
Contract Remedies
The primary remedy for breach of contract is compensatory damages — the money needed to put you in the position you would have been in had the contract been performed. In some cases, you may also seek specific performance (forcing the breaching party to perform), disgorgement of profits, and recovery of attorney's fees if the contract includes a fee-shifting provision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a contract have to be in writing to be enforceable?
In Utah, most contracts are enforceable whether written or oral. However, certain contracts must be in writing under the Statute of Frauds — including contracts for real estate, contracts that cannot be performed within one year, and contracts for goods over $500 under the UCC. Oral contracts are harder to prove but not necessarily unenforceable.
