  • How long do I have to file a breach of contract lawsuit in New York?
    In New York, you generally have six years from the date of breach to file a contract lawsuit under CPLR 213(2). However, certain contracts have different limitation periods - for example, contracts for the sale of goods under the UCC have a four-year statute of limitations. The clock starts ticking from when the breach occurs, not when you discover it. This is why Brooklyn and Queens business owners should contact an experienced contract dispute attorney immediately when they suspect a breach. Our NYC contract lawyers have successfully filed breach of contract lawsuits in Brooklyn Supreme Court and Queens Civil Court, helping businesses recover damages even in complex cases where the limitation period was close to expiring. We also handle cases involving fraudulent concealment, which can extend these deadlines under certain circumstances.
  • What damages can I recover in a Brooklyn contract dispute?
    In Brooklyn and Queens contract disputes, you may recover several types of damages depending on your specific situation. Compensatory damages put you in the position you would have been in if the contract was properly performed - this includes direct financial losses, lost profits, and additional costs incurred due to the breach. Consequential damages cover indirect losses that were reasonably foreseeable when the contract was made, such as lost business opportunities or damage to business relationships. In some cases, you may also recover attorney fees if your contract includes a fee-shifting provision. Our contract dispute attorneys in Brooklyn and Queens have recovered millions in damages for local businesses, including a recent case where we secured substantial compensation for a Queens construction company whose contractor abandoned a commercial renovation project. We also pursue specific performance remedies when monetary damages aren't adequate, forcing the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations.
  • Do I need a written contract to sue for breach in NYC?
    No, oral contracts are fully enforceable in New York, though they can be more challenging to prove in court. However, certain types of contracts must be in writing under New York's Statute of Frauds, including contracts for the sale of real estate, contracts that cannot be performed within one year, and contracts for the sale of goods over $500. Even with oral agreements, our Brooklyn and Queens contract attorneys have successfully proven contract terms through witness testimony, email communications, text messages, and business practices that demonstrate the parties' intent. We've handled numerous oral contract cases in Brooklyn Supreme Court involving restaurant suppliers, construction subcontractors, and service providers throughout Queens. The key is acting quickly to preserve evidence - phone records, payment histories, and witness statements become crucial in oral contract disputes. Our litigation team knows how to build compelling cases even when no written agreement exists.
  • Can contract disputes be resolved without going to court?
    Yes, most contract disputes in Brooklyn and Queens can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution methods without ever setting foot in court. Negotiation is often the first step, where our experienced contract attorneys work directly with the opposing party to reach a mutually acceptable settlement. This approach saves time and money while preserving business relationships. Mediation is another effective option where a neutral third party helps facilitate discussions between the parties - we've successfully mediated numerous contract disputes for Brooklyn restaurants, Queens construction companies, and NYC retail businesses. Arbitration provides a more formal process where an arbitrator makes a binding decision, often specified in the original contract terms. Many commercial contracts include mandatory arbitration clauses that require disputes to be resolved outside traditional court systems. Our contract dispute lawyers have extensive experience in all forms of alternative dispute resolution and often achieve faster, more cost-effective outcomes than traditional litigation in Brooklyn Supreme Court or Queens Civil Court. However, when negotiation fails and your business interests are at stake, we're fully prepared to aggressively litigate your contract dispute through the New York court system to secure the outcome you deserve.

Brooklyn and Queens businesses trust Kleyman Law Group to resolve high-stakes commercial disputes and protect their financial future.
