A common type of business dispute in Tampa Bay, Florida, is a breach of original contract. When a party fails to fulfill its obligations under a contract, it is said to be in breach of contract. Understanding the breach of original contract and how to deal with it is critical for businesses in Tampa Bay.

Understanding Breach of Original Contract

A breach of original contract occurs when a party fails to perform its obligations under a contract. There are three types of breaches: material, minor, and anticipatory. A material breach is a significant failure to perform that goes to the root of the contract, while a minor breach is a less serious failure to perform. An anticipatory breach occurs when one party indicates that it will not perform its obligations under the contract.

Common Causes

Common types of business disputes in Tampa Bay that lead to breach of original contract include disputes over payment, delivery of goods or services, and breach of confidentiality agreements. It is important for businesses to understand the potential for disputes before entering into a contract and to take steps to prevent them from arising.

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
