Breach of Contract

Understanding Breach of Contract in Michigan

Contracts form the basis of many business and professional relationships: they define obligations, set expectations, and protect your rights when something goes wrong. When another party fails to uphold their end of the bargain, the consequences can be disruptive and costly.

A contract can be written or oral and can apply to a range of business, employment, personal, and real estate matters. Under Michigan law, breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform their obligations under a valid and enforceable agreement. While proving breach of contract may seem straightforward, ambiguous language, conflicting interpretations, and incomplete documentation can make enforcement difficult.
