Understanding relevant legal terminology can help clients better grasp the litigation process. Below are definitions of important terms commonly encountered during business litigation.
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in a legally binding agreement, potentially leading to legal claims for damages or specific performance.
