Understanding Breach of Contract

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform as promised under a valid agreement. That failure can involve refusing to pay, not delivering goods or services, or performing work that falls short of what was agreed to.

Mississippi contract law recognizes several forms of breach, including:

• Material Breach: A major failure that destroys the value of the contract for the other party.
• Minor Breach: A smaller deviation from the agreement that still causes some loss.
• Anticipatory Breach: When one party indicates they won’t fulfill their obligations before performance is due.

We evaluate the contract terms, correspondence, and performance history to determine whether a breach occurred and what remedies are available.

Common Contract Disputes We Handle

Our attorneys represent clients in a broad range of contract-related matters, including:

• Business and partnership agreements
• Real estate and property sale contracts
• Construction and contractor disputes
• Service and vendor agreements
• Employment and non-compete contracts
• Loan, lease, and promissory note disputes
• Insurance and indemnity claims

We also handle cases involving multiple agreements or overlapping obligations, which often require careful coordination between business and property law principles.

Remedies for Breach of Contract

When a contract is breached, the injured party may be entitled to one or more remedies under Mississippi law, including:

• Monetary Damages: Compensation for losses caused by the breach, including lost profits or repair costs.
• Specific Performance: A court order requiring the breaching party to perform as promised.
• Rescission: Canceling the contract and restoring both parties to their original positions.
• Declaratory Judgment: A court determination clarifying each party’s rights and obligations.

Our firm carefully assesses the facts of each case to pursue the most effective remedy, whether that’s recovery of funds or enforcement of the original agreement.
