Contract Disputes

When a construction contract or a business agreement breaks down, the first question is what the document actually requires — and what the work and the payments show. We represent Utah homeowners, contractors, and businesses in breach of contract claims and defenses, from residential remodels in Utah County to commercial jobs along the Wasatch Front.

• Construction contracts: performance, workmanship, payment, and abandonment
• Commercial contracts that sit around a construction job (vendor, supply, service)

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.
