Contracts

Contracts are fundamental to getting business done. But, contracts written in legalese, that people can’t easily understand are difficult to implement and administer. You also want to ensure you’re properly protected in the contracts you sign.

Contract Disputes

Entering into a contract imposes certain legal rights and obligations on the parties. Typical contract disputes arise related to formation, interpretation, and performance. We will handle your dispute with a cost-effective strategy designed to protect your contractual rights. For example, we:

  • Settled post-sale contract dispute related to international manufacturer’s purchase of client’s subsidiary’s assets.
  • Settled contract dispute related to defective design and construction of custom-built yacht.
  • Settled contract dispute against large public company on behalf of local non-profit.
  • Won default judgment in favor of client lessor and defended judgment on appeal. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals affirmed in a published case, East Winds Props., LLC v. Jahnke, 2009 WI App 125, 320 Wis.2d 797.

Working with Stephanie and Sarah has been so helpful and beneficial to the growth and success of our business. We have learned so much from them when it comes to protecting our artwork, asking for what we need out of a client, and the ability to take on large jobs that we normally wouldn’t know how to navigate. They are always prompt to answer our questions quickly via an in-person meeting, email, or call and they truly feel like an integral part of our team and success!
