Contract Disputes

When a business agreement breaks down, the first step is understanding where you actually stand. We represent Utah businesses in breach of contract claims and defenses, from Salt Lake City and the Silicon Slopes to Ogden, Provo, and St. George. We start by reviewing the contract, the correspondence, and the money at stake, then explain your rights, your obligations, and your realistic options under Utah law.

Many business owners don't know that Utah has a reciprocal attorney-fee statute. A one-sided attorney-fee clause in your contract can cut both ways, and whether you can recover your legal fees (or end up paying the other side's) changes the economics of any dispute. We analyze that question before you commit to a strategy.

Most contract disputes never need a courtroom. Clear analysis, strong documentation, and a well-drafted demand letter often resolve a dispute faster and cheaper than litigation. When a case does need to be filed in Utah's district courts, we are prepared to act, and we keep your business objective in focus the whole way through.
