Contract breaches are deviations of a party from the requirements of a contract. When entering into a construction contract, it is important to understand the common types of breaches that may occur so that the parties can do their best to mitigate these potential breaches. While contractual breaches may range in severity, it is also important to understand the rights and obligations of either party should there be a contractual breach. In this webinar we will discuss the common causes of contractual breaches and the legal implications of those breaches.
