Understanding Business Or Contract Disputes In Massachusetts
- The law requires people in business to treat each other fairly. If a business partner, customer, supplier, or other party has been dishonest with you, Massachusetts law gives you the right to seek damages or restitution, and in some cases you may be awarded your attorney’s fees and costs.
- Damages for a breach of contract may include: compensatory damages, punitive damages, nominal damages, and liquidated damages.
- Sometimes even family or friends can get into a dispute over business. Siblings who have inherited a family business, for example, do not always agree on how the business should be managed. Our Worcester business dispute attorneys handle these cases with tact and work toward a positive outcome.

The Importance Of Written Agreements
When business agreements are not in writing, misunderstandings can easily arise about who has what responsibilities and how much money should go to whom. Some kinds of contracts may even be invalid if they are not in writing. Even without a written contract, however, you may still have rights that can be enforced, and we can assess your situation and determine the most economical way for you to reach the best possible solution.
Even when there is a written contract, reasonable people may disagree about what it means. Courts resolve such disagreements by considering the circumstances under which the agreement was written, including who wrote it and why. Our Worcester business dispute attorneys can help you understand whether a court is likely to adopt your interpretation of a contract.
