Award Winning Breach of Contract Attorneys
Schedule A Consultation
The attorneys at Cantrell Schuette, P.A. have a track record of successfully resolving contract disputes—whether the contract in question is written, oral, or came about through routine course of business. When litigation is necessary, we’ve obtained significant recoveries for our clients at trials and arbitrations. Counseling clients, whether they are accusing someone else of breaching a contract or are the one being accused, through complex contract disputes is a core practice of the firm and our experience is substantial.
When individuals and businesses enter into an agreement for how their relationship is supposed to progress, it can be extremely frustrating and possibly expensive when someone does not follow through with their obligations or when the other side tries to change the deal. In such situations, the relationship can completely sour, the deal can be compromised, and it can cost significant sums of time and money.
When a contract dispute occurs, obtaining experienced legal representation is prudent, both for negotiations and, if necessary, litigation. At Cantrell Schuette, P.A., our clients, individuals and businesses alike, can feel secure that we apply pragmatic approaches designed to meet their objectives—whether that is a bet on the company resolution by trial, a mediated settlement agreement, or through more private arbitration when that is available—so that they can focus on their business.

WHY HIRE CANTRELL SCHUETTE, P.A.
The attorneys at Cantrell Schuette successfully counsel, negotiate, and litigate all manner of contract disputes, including claims for breach of partnership or shareholder agreements, breach of employment agreements, breach of merger or acquisition agreement, breach of compensation agreements, breach of service contracts, breach of contracts for the sale of property or goods, and breaches of many other types of agreements.
We understand that litigation is typically the last thing our clients want, and that protracted litigation can be a distraction in the personal and professional lives of those involved. While we are primarily a firm of litigators that can and will fight all the way through trial or arbitration for clients, we understand that it is not always in our clients’ objective to go through a lengthy trial or arbitration process.
