Bergen County Lawyer for Contract Disputes in New Jersey
Effective Advocacy for Business Breach of Contract Issues
Business law involves many intersecting legal obligations, and contracts play a central role in defining how businesses protect their interests. Well-drafted agreements set expectations, allocate risk, and provide remedies when obligations are not met. However, when disagreements arise over whether contract terms were satisfied or applied fairly, disputes can quickly escalate and disrupt business operations.
At M. Ross & Associates, LLC, we have experience in resolving business disputes. If your company is dealing with a breach of contract, our Bergen County attorneys can help you evaluate your options, protect your interests, and pursue a resolution aligned with your business goals.

Types of Contract Disputes
When a business contract is signed, it is understood that both parties agree to the terms stated within the contract. However, sometimes things do not go as intended or promises go unfulfilled.
If your business agreement is broken, you should know whether your breach of contract was material or non-material.
The difference between the two is defined :
- Material breaches - Contracts that are broken in a way that defies the whole reason why the contract was established. The fundamental roots on which it was established are broken.
- Non-material breaches - Breaches that violate terms of a contract but do not defy the point of the contract completely. An agreement can withstand a non-material breach.
Our business contract attorneys have helped clients throughout Bergen County with both material and non-material contract breaches and disputes. If your contract has suffered from a breach, we can help provide the legal advocacy you need during discussion and reevaluation. Courts are more likely to be involved in this kind of violation, and we are more than prepared to represent your business.
Evaluating Contract Enforceability and Remedies
In many New Jersey business disputes, the threshold question is whether the contract itself is enforceable and what obligations actually exist. We carefully review written agreements, amendments, purchase orders, and the parties’ course of dealing to determine whether there has been a failure to perform, a delay in performance, or a disagreement over contractual interpretation.
Businesses in Northern New Jersey commonly encounter disputes arising from vendor and supply agreements, operating agreements between owners, commercial leases, and service contracts. These disputes often overlap with issues seen in partnership and shareholder disputes and related ownership conflicts. We help clients assess whether termination, renegotiation, or litigation is the most strategic path forward.
When a breach occurs, understanding available remedies is critical. Depending on the facts, remedies may include monetary damages, recovery of additional costs incurred, or equitable relief such as specific performance. In some cases, contract disputes are closely tied to allegations of fraud and misrepresentation or breach of fiduciary duty, which can significantly affect litigation strategy and potential outcomes.
