What Counts as a Breach in California?

A breach happens when a party fails to perform, or performs late, poorly, or not at all.

Material breach

Material breach hits the core benefit; minor breach allows recovery but performance may continue.

Statute of limitations (CA): Written contracts = 4 yrs; oral = 2 yrs. Early review protects leverage.

Typical OC Disputes We Handle

  • Unpaid invoices / late payment
  • Non-conforming goods or service quality failures
  • Missed delivery windows & supply-chain disruption
  • Scope creep, change-order conflicts
  • Confidentiality or trade-secret misuse
  • Wrongful termination in long-term MSAs

Remedies & Strategy

  • Expectation / consequential damages
  • Liquidated damages (reasonable, not penalty)
  • Specific performance (unique goods / real property)
  • Rescission / restitution
  • Attorneys' fees if contract/statute allows

Common Questions

Quick answers for orange county businesses facing a contract dispute.

The questions we field most often, answered the same way we'd answer them on a first call, without filler and without disclaimers that are not required.

Q.Supplier keeps missing spec, breach or warranty?
A.Could be both under contract/UCC. We document variance and model losses.
Q.Should we terminate or demand cure?
A.Depends on materiality and notice-and-cure terms. Wrongful termination is risky.
Q.Can we recover attorneys' fees?
A.Only if contract/statute allows. Many OC MSAs contain bilateral fee clauses.
Q.Are partial-payment settlements viable?
A.Often yes, tied to performance milestones or security to reduce risk.
