Business Litigation

Birmingham, Alabama Business Litigation Attorneys

Business contracts protect the interests of all parties involved by stating what terms and requirements a business, employment, or vendor relationship is governed by. When a breach occurs, financial harm can result when promised services, goods, or exclusive rights are forgone.

At the law office of Gulas & Stuckey, our attorneys represent businesses, employers, employees, and individuals in cases involving business litigation and contracts. While we are open to mediation and negotiation, our lawyers prepare each case for trial in order to protect our client's interests. Even if a business contract stipulates the parties must enter into arbitration or mediation, we can explore and explain other legal options available to you.

If your business has suffered financial harm or you are facing litigation due to an alleged breach of contract, contact business litigation attorneys at the law office of Gulas & Stuckey today to schedule a free consultation regarding your case.

Grounds for Business Litigation

The law office of Gulas & Stuckey advises and represents clients in cases involving the following:

• Failure to deliver goods per delivery contract
• Failure to abide by the terms of a service agreement
• Allegations of a violation of a non-compete agreement
• Breach of confidentiality agreement

Determining the Cost of a Breach of Contract

Typically, in contract breach cases the law seeks to restore a party to a state they would have enjoyed had the breach or harm not occurred. In business litigation, quantifying financial harm involves actual losses attributed to interruptions of business operations, as well as economic harm suffered as a result of devalued goods or lost business.

At Gulas & Stuckey, our lawyers work with economists in estimating the total financial lost suffered by a business as the result of lost business, lost of potential clients, and expended overhead costs. Using company financials and accountants, we quantify known costs and demand nothing less than fair compensation.

Challenging Allegations of a Breach of Contract

In other instances, especially those involving employment contracts, allegations of a breach may simply be a function of a company attempting to leverage its position to intimidate our client into accepting terms that are not enforceable. Here, we evaluate the terms of a contract, take into account case precedent, and expose unenforceable terms that depend on factors extraneous to the contractual agreement itself.

Regardless of whether you are engaged in a contract dispute or are seeking damages in relation to a breach of contract, contact Gulas & Stuckey today. We can evaluate your case and discuss the legal options available to you.
