Contract Dispute Attorney Florida | Breach of Contract Claims | Richard Corey Law

Contract Dispute Attorney — Florida

Every significant business relationship is governed by a contract. When one party fails to honor that contract, the consequences can be financially devastating. At The Law Offices of Richard Corey, PLLC, we represent businesses and individuals in contract disputes throughout Florida — from breach of commercial agreements to non-compete enforcement to complex multi-party contract litigation.

What Is Breach of Contract in Florida?

A breach of contract occurs when one party to a valid and enforceable contract fails to perform a material obligation required by the agreement without legal justification. To prevail on a breach of contract claim in Florida, a plaintiff must establish: the existence of a valid contract; a material breach by the defendant; and damages caused by the breach.

Types of Contract Disputes We Handle

Commercial agreements — vendor contracts, service agreements, distribution agreements, supply agreements, and commercial leases. Partnership and operating agreements — when business partners fail to honor their contractual obligations under a partnership agreement or LLC operating agreement. Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements — we enforce and defend non-compete clauses under Florida's strict statutory framework governing restraints on competition. Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements — we pursue claims for breach of NDAs and confidentiality covenants, including injunctive relief to prevent further disclosure. Employment contracts — wrongful termination claims, executive compensation disputes, and severance agreement enforcement. Real estate contracts — breach of purchase and sale agreements, lease disputes, and real estate development agreements. Construction contracts — contractor non-performance, construction defect claims, and payment disputes.

What Remedies Are Available for Breach of Contract in Florida?

Compensatory damages — money damages that place the injured party in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed. Specific performance — a court order requiring the breaching party to perform the contract. Available in cases involving unique property or services where money damages are inadequate. Injunctive relief — a court order preventing the breaching party from continuing harmful conduct while the dispute is litigated. Liquidated damages — where the contract specifies a pre-determined damages amount. Attorney's fees — Florida contracts often include prevailing party attorney's fee provisions, and certain statutes provide for fee recovery.

The Importance of Choosing a Trial Attorney for Contract Disputes

Many contract disputes settle before trial. But the strength of your negotiating position depends entirely on the strength of your litigation posture. At The Law Offices of Richard Corey, PLLC, we prepare every contract dispute for trial from day one — which is why our clients consistently achieve favorable outcomes whether through settlement or verdict.
