Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Business Contract Litigation Attorneys

Louisiana Breach of Contract Lawyers

Contract disputes typically arise due to disagreement about the terms and conditions of a contract and what the parties to the agreement are responsible to do. Terms that place an undue burden on one party may be unenforceable if a judge can be persuaded that the contract is unduly prejudicial. In cases where the terms of a contract are poorly defined, the court has usually held that the party responsible for writing the contract is liable for any ambiguous language it contains.

The business litigation attorneys at law offices of James S. Holliday, Jr., APLC, review and evaluate contract terms and conditions in contract negotiations and in litigation for breach of contract.

Our approach is preventative when drafting and reviewing contracts. We work to identify and eliminate language that exposes our client to unwanted financial and legal liability. When bringing a contract dispute to court, the available options for repair must be evaluated within the framework of the contract itself and applicable case law.
