Contractual Dispute

At the core of every business relationship lies a contract. A well-written contract provides a solid backbone to working relationships by outlining the expectations, duties, and obligations of the parties. Contracts are intended to be a shield against various disputes that may materialize over the course of a business relationship.

Unfortunately, even the most comprehensive and well-drafted contracts can lead to disputes.

Every commercial transaction started with a contract. In the case of transactions involving sale of goods, the additional statutory provisions in various acts of the province will regulate the potential rights and liabilities of the parties. The Sale of Goods Act, 1990 is one of those regularly employed Acts.

Depending on the types of disputes, we are experienced to handle and assist our clients in navigating through those complex laws to find a solution for them.

Additionally, if you have a dispute involving international sale of goods, our team has very experienced litigators that can handle this type of issue, including payment disputes that involve documentary letter of credits.
