Breach of Contract Attorney in Miami

Over 50 Years of Combined Legal Experience for Miami Contract Disputes

A broken agreement can leave wages or invoices unpaid, restrict someone’s ability to work, disrupt business operations, or expose a party to claimed damages. Breach of contract representation examines what the agreement required, whether either party failed to perform, and which legal or practical responses may be available.

At Remer, Georges-Pierre & Hoogerwoerd, PLLC, we represent employees, employers, and business owners in disputes involving employment-related and commercial agreements. We review the contract language alongside amendments, deadlines, communications, performance records, and the financial consequences of the alleged breach.

Who We Represent in Miami Contract Disputes

Either side of an agreement may need legal counsel when a dispute arises. We represent clients seeking to enforce obligations as well as those responding to allegations that they violated a contract.

Our contract-related representation may involve:

• Employees: Disputes concerning employment agreements, compensation obligations, non-compete agreements, confidentiality provisions, and negotiated terms.
• Employers: Claims involving contractual duties, restrictive provisions, performance obligations, and alleged violations by current or former employees.
• Business owners: Disagreements with partners, landlords, vendors, customers, service providers, or other contracting parties.

We provide legal services in English and Spanish so clients can discuss detailed contract language and business concerns in the language they prefer.

Employment & Business Agreements That Can Lead to Disputes

A breach may involve nonpayment, delayed or incomplete performance, refusal to provide promised goods or services, or conduct that conflicts with a written restriction. The agreement itself defines the parties’ obligations and shapes the potential claim or defense.

Employment Agreements & Restrictive Provisions

We handle matters involving contract negotiation and non-compete agreements. These restrictive covenants may limit certain work or competitive business activity. Related disputes can involve confidentiality provisions, compensation terms, notice requirements, or other obligations arising from an employment agreement.

Partnerships, Leases, & Commercial Transactions

Business disputes may arise from partnership agreements, commercial transactions, vendor or service arrangements, and commercial leases. The disagreement may concern money owed, decision-making authority, required performance, use of commercial property, or obligations triggered when a business relationship ends.

What a Florida Breach of Contract Claim Requires

Under Florida law, a breach of contract claim generally requires a valid contract, a material breach, and resulting damages. A material breach is a failure significant enough to affect an essential obligation. The analysis may also consider whether the claimant fulfilled its own duties and whether required conditions occurred before the other party’s performance became due.

Important terms and issues may include:

• Governing law: The agreement may identify which state’s law controls its interpretation.
• Notice provisions: A contract may require written notice, an opportunity to cure the breach, or another step before a claim proceeds.
• Dispute resolution: The parties may need to negotiate, mediate, arbitrate, or litigate in a specified forum.
• Contract damages: Claimed financial losses must be connected to the alleged breach and supported by evidence.
• Defenses: Contract formation, prior breach, waiver, modification, impossibility, and other issues may affect liability.

Actions founded on a written contract generally must be brought within five years under Florida law. Different deadlines may govern oral agreements or other contract-related claims, and the facts can affect when the limitations period begins. A prompt review of the agreement and timeline can help determine which deadline may apply.

Evidence & Decisions That Can Shape Your Case

A meaningful assessment requires the complete record, not only the signed agreement. Relevant materials may include amendments, invoices, payment records, emails, text messages, formal notices, performance records, and documents showing the claimed financial impact.

Depending on the circumstances, potential paths may include a written demand or response, direct negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, or a request for court-ordered relief. Mediation uses a neutral facilitator to explore a resolution. Arbitration places the dispute before a private decision-maker whose authority comes from the agreement or the parties’ consent.

Preserve relevant records and avoid unsupported admissions about what happened. Before withholding performance, terminating an agreement, or sending a formal notice, consider whether the proposed action complies with applicable notice, cure, and dispute-resolution provisions.
