St. Louis General Practice Law Firm Provides Contract and Family Law Legal Counsel in Missouri

Focused assistance with all contract matters

Most business transactions conducted today are done through the use of contracts. A contract is a binding agreement between two parties that sets terms for a transaction, including the price, delivery and quantity of items to be sold. For business owners, it is essential to know what to do if you entered a contract and things have not turned out the way you expected. St. Louis attorney Tong (Tony) Gao has more than 20 years of experience handling contract cases for our clients in Missouri, and can provide you with the knowledgeable assistance you need to sue and the skills you need to win.

Breach of contract

A breach of contract occurs when one side of a contract does not live up to the agreed-upon terms. When this happens, the other party can sue for any damages that resulted from the breach. These damages are not necessarily physical — they can also include profits lost on sales that fell through and time wasted in waiting for deliveries that did not arrive as promised.
Breaches of contract are fairly common occurrences in the world of business and can happen for various reasons. At Tong (Tony) Gao, we represent clients in all types of breach of contract cases, including those that involve:

  • Failure to pay for products or services
  • Failure to deliver products or services
  • Failure to meet the terms of a secondary agreement, such as a lease, mortgage or loan document
  • Disputes over terms in the contract
  • Disputes between partners or workers
  • Missed deadlines
  • Work stoppages

Tong (Tony) Gao also represents clients who have purposely breached their contracts in order to pursue alternatives.  We help clients in this situation develop defenses for their actions and vigorously defend their rights in court.
