THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT DISPUTES

Employment contract disputes are an unfortunate part of doing business. The reality is that we are dealing with people, and sometimes they will fail to honor their contractual obligations. The most common types of employment contract disputes our Tampa attorneys deal with include:

  • Breach of contract: Breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill its promised obligations as outlined and agreed to in the contract. The goal of a settlement is to place the harmed party in the same economic position they would have been in had no breach of contract occurred, often through a monetary award.
  • Disputes from misunderstandings of contract agreements: Misunderstanding disputes often arise from unclear or incomplete contracts or contracts that have not been drafted properly. When terms are vague or there are misunderstandings of the terms, the contract can collapse if steps are not taken to quickly reconcile the two different interpretations. Our Feldman legal team will examine how your contract is worded and whether its provisions are legal.
  • Partnership disputes: At times, partners disagree about what is best for their business. Arguments arise over leadership roles, responsibility, money, and compensation.
  • Non-compete issues: Many businesses have employees sign a non-compete agreement which prevents them from engaging in certain business practices for a specific length of time after they leave their job. Employees often violate these agreements, especially if they are written broadly and are unenforceable
  • Lease disputes: These disputes arise when there are differences of opinions about the roles and responsibilities in a lease..
  • General liability: Property owners have a legal obligation to keep their premises safe. When injuries occur on the property, it can result in a dispute about which parties (such as a landlord and a contracted security company) are responsible.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT DISPUTE LAWYERS KNOW OPTIONS FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES

Employment contract disputes often cause significant challenges in getting things completed on time and can expose you to lawsuits, fines, and unhappy customers and employees. When situations like this arise, a contract dispute attorney knows the options that can work to resolve the differences. These include:

  • Identifying the causes of the dispute and resolve them through negotiations. Negotiation can be effective in situations such as where there are vague portions of the contract that are interpreted differently by each party. Your attorney may be able to make changes to the contract that make them acceptable to both parties, or use proven legal strategies to get the contract enforced instead of filing a lawsuit.
  • Determining whether the contract has enforceability and severability. Doing this before filing any lawsuit will help determine if going to court is a viable option after negotiations fail.
  • Using mediation to resolve disputes. Both sides can agree to hire a private mediator to help come to an agreement, or a mediator can be appointed by the courts. Mediation is less expensive than a lawsuit and allows parties to come up with creative solutions.
  • Using arbitration to resolve disputes. An arbitrator is a neutral third party who reviews the points of view of both parties and makes a decision as to how the issue will be resolved. Attorneys from both sides can submit evidence or present oral testimony or arguments. Arbitration is faster and less expensive than litigation.
  • File a lawsuit. If all forms of resolution fail, your attorney can file a lawsuit. Sometimes issues can still be solved during the discovery process, or mediation or arbitration may be ordered by a judge before going to trial. If a trial is the only option, a decision will be made in the form of a verdict.

If a trial is necessary, our team of employment contract dispute lawyers in Tampa will advocate for your best interests. You will never be referred to another attorney with less experience, but will work with knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated professionals who will not stop until we create favorable outcomes in your case.
