Contract Disputes

Boston Attorney Strong Advocate in Contract Disputes

Massachusetts Firm Experienced in Complex Aspects of Contract Law

When a business enters into a contract, it makes a legally enforceable agreement to do or not do something. When one party fails to deliver on their promise, a contract dispute may occur.

Contract disputes are almost an unavoidable issue in the course of running a business, and can often be disruptive and expensive. As a lawyer experienced in successfully handling contract disputes in Massachusetts, Keith Halpern will take the time to consider all the aspects of a contract and the strategies required to resolve disputes.

Businesses and individual enter into a wide variety of contracts and agreements, including:

  • Employment contracts
  • Stock option and profit-sharing agreements
  • Purchase agreements
  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Structured loan and financing agreements
  • Construction contracts
  • Shareholder agreements
  • Non-compete, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation agreements

Types of Contract Disputes

Attorney Halpern can assist with disputes as they arise, helping to avoid a lawsuit or achieve a settlement. But he also is an experienced trial lawyer, and if negotiation does not solve the problem, you will have a lawyer on your side with the skill and determination to take the fight to court. Some common types of contract disputes include:

  • Insurance disputes
  • Breach of contract
  • Collection issues
  • Violation of restrictive covenants and non-complete clauses
  • Violation of trade secrets agreements
  • Disputes involving shareholders, partnerships, and commercial leases
  • Licensing violations

Breach of Contract

When one party fails to perform their obligations under a contract, the other party may choose to sue them for breach of contract. There are several different types of contract breaches:

  • Minor breaches, also known as partial or immaterial breaches
  • Material breaches, in which one party seeks to compel the other to perform their obligations under the terms of the contract, or collect damages for the breach
  • Fundamental breaches, considered so fundamental that the wronged party is able to end the contract and sue the other party for damages
  • Anticipatory breaches, when one party indicates that they will not perform under the terms of the contract when it is due or in the future

Attorney Halpern's largest recovery for a client, $7.2 million, was in a breach of contract case involving an investor in a real estate trust who was cheated of profits.

Testimonials

  • I was a client of Mr. Halpern, and I was fighting a First Degree Murder charge, along with two attempted murders and a firearm charge. There were times when I thought Mr. Halpern was against me, and trying to sell me out. But in reality, that was never the case. I realized that after a few arguments, and his telling me that he wasn’t going to give up on me. I realized that I was lucky to have someone who wanted nothing but the best for me. I was guilty of everything I was charged with. Still, Mr. Halpern fought for me like I wasn’t. No matter what I wanted to do, he was riding with me. Trial or getting a deal, he just wanted me to know what was at stake. At the end of the day, I took a deal. To be honest, it was the best deal ever for what I was facing. I would recommend Mr. Halpern any day to someone in a situation like mine. In my opinion, if you are looking for a lawyer and you are on their website, it’s important to look at how many wins they have. In my eyes, if somebody took a deal that can still be a win. It was for me. You should also check out what some of his previous clients have to say about him. I’m writing about him, so that should tell you something. I’m just blessed I was one of his clients. Mr. Halpern would never understand how grateful I am that I was represented by him. So if you’re looking for a lawyer who is going to put in overtime to make sure you come out on top, I would recommend Keith Halpern!

  • First, I would like to say that Attorney Keith Halpern saved my life, legally. The District Attorney wanted to give me a life sentence. Due to Mr. Halpern’s persistence, I was found Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Illness by a jury. Keith always kept me up to date with the way he was going to strategize my defense. He hired experts who aided in my case and were excellent witnesses. Throughout my trial, he would always ask the questions that needed to be asked. I never felt that he left anything out. He was extremely thorough. I would highly recommend using the law office of Attorney Halpern. He is very effective at achieving the best result from what could be the worst situation of your life. I owe him my life and I am extremely grateful. Thank you for reading my story and I wish you the best.
