Contracts shape how Plano businesses operate every day. They set expectations, define responsibilities, and allocate risk so work can move forward without uncertainty. When a party fails to honor those commitments, the impact often reaches beyond a single transaction. Production schedules slip, revenue forecasts change, and customer relationships feel the strain. In a market like Plano, where technology, healthcare, professional services, and advanced manufacturing all play leading roles, contract disputes can become complex quickly.
If you believe another party has not lived up to its contractual obligations, or if you are defending against an allegation that you breached an agreement, Roquemore Skiersi can help. Our practice focuses on business and commercial litigation. We represent Plano companies and owners across the full life cycle of a dispute, from demand letters and negotiations to trials and arbitration proceedings. Careful preparation guides every matter we handle, because preparation is what drives results at the table and in the courtroom.
Our attorneys regularly appear in Collin County courts and arbitration forums statewide. We know how to prove the elements of a breach claim, quantify damages in a way that decision makers can follow, and position cases for efficient and favorable outcomes that protect both finances and reputation.
Selecting counsel is a strategic business decision. Many firms draft and negotiate contracts, but fewer concentrate on enforcing them when performance breaks down. Our team is built around resolving contract disputes for businesses, whether through negotiated settlements, dispositive motions, arbitration, or trial.
Litigation experience matters even when cases settle. Every dispute moves through critical stages such as discovery, motion practice, and hearings. These steps require judgment, organization, and credible trial readiness. We have taken contract matters to verdict and to arbitration, and we use that experience to create leverage early. When the other side recognizes that your case is fully prepared, meaningful discussions often follow.
Contracts exist to reduce uncertainty. When a counterparty fails to perform, decisive action helps limit disruption. Our Plano breach of contract lawyers assist clients in disputes involving:
In every matter we evaluate the contract language and available defenses, identify pressure points, and build a path that protects cash flow, relationships, and brand.
A breach of contract lawsuit is a legal action with defined elements. To prevail in Texas, a claimant must show that a valid contract existed, that the claimant performed or had a legally recognized excuse for nonperformance, that the opposing party failed to perform as required, and that this failure caused damages. Proving these elements depends on the agreement’s text, the parties’ communications, and a damages model that ties the breach to specific financial harm. Our team works with clients to assemble the record and present the story clearly.
Understanding the type of breach helps determine strategy, remedies, and how damages should be measured.
Identifying the correct category early improves decision making about notice, mitigation, and enforcement.
Texas law provides several avenues for relief, which may be pursued separately or in combination depending on the facts and the agreement.
For sales of goods, the Texas Uniform Commercial Code provides additional tools. Buyers may reject nonconforming shipments in whole or in part and may revoke acceptance if hidden defects later appear and substantially impair value. Taking prompt action under these provisions can limit losses and strengthen negotiating leverage.
Most breach of contract disputes resolve before a jury can hear them. Focused negotiation, mediation, and summary judgment often narrow or end the case. Trial preparation remains essential. When the other side sees organized evidence, prepared witnesses, and well developed legal arguments, the risks of pressing forward are clear. That recognition frequently leads to earlier and better resolutions.
Our process is practical and transparent. We begin by clarifying your objectives, then analyze the agreement, available defenses, and the economic impact of different strategies. We quantify damages in a way that business leaders and courts can follow and recommend the forum that best serves your goals, whether district court or arbitration. Throughout the matter we communicate clearly about options and tradeoffs and focus on solutions that protect working capital and key relationships while preserving your ability to try the case if necessary.
Our Plano breach of contract lawyers help businesses handle a wide contract disputes
Partnership disputes often arise when one partner fails to uphold their obligations under a written or verbal agreement, leading to breakdowns in trust and business operations. These conflicts can involve profit sharing, decision-making authority, or the misuse of business assets.
Shareholders may clash over dividends, governance, information rights, or dilution. We help clients apply bylaws and shareholder agreements to resolve disputes while protecting enterprise value.
An actual breach of contract happens when one party fails to perform as promised, whether by missing deadlines, delivering subpar work, or refusing to pay. For small and mid-sized business owners, these breaches can cause operational delays and financial harm.
A material breach of contract is a serious failure to perform that strikes at the heart of the agreement, often making it impossible for the other party to move forward. For business owners, this can mean lost revenue, disrupted operations, or damaged relationships.
An anticipatory breach of contract occurs when one party clearly indicates they won’t fulfill their contractual obligations before performance is due. For business owners, this can disrupt planning, cash flow, and operations.
