Contracts are a normal part of business and are designed to ensure everyone keeps up their end of the bargain. However, there are occasions when it becomes impossible to abide by the rules of the agreement, and one party may sue the other for breaking a contract. That is when you need a contract lawyer.
The first thing you should do is contact a trusted contract attorney to discuss the situation.
