At Omni Law, P.C., our Philadelphia business and corporate attorneys provide seasoned legal counsel for individuals, entrepreneurs, start-ups, partnerships, and long-established corporations looking to pursue breach of contract solutions.
We represent our clients in breach of contract negotiations and lawsuits involving:
- Material Breaches
A material breach is a significant failure that goes to the heart of the contract. It prevents the contract from being completed or significantly diminishes its value. This breach usually entitles the non-breaching party to terminate the contract and seek damages.
- Minor Breaches
Also known as a partial or immaterial breach, a minor breach involves a slight deviation from the terms of the contract that does not substantially affect the outcome. The non-breaching party may still be entitled to damages but must continue to perform their obligations under the contract.
- Anticipatory Breach
This occurs when one party indicates, either through words or actions, that they will not be fulfilling their contractual obligations in the future. The non-breaching party can treat this as an immediate breach and may pursue remedies.
- Actual Breach
An actual breach happens when one party fails to perform their duties as specified in the contract on the due date or performs them improperly.

How Can a Philadelphia Breach of Contract Lawyer at Omni Law Help My Company?
To establish a breach-of-contract claim, a legally enforceable contract must exist. The non-breaching party must have performed its obligations or been ready and willing to perform, and the other party failed to perform as required under the contract terms, leaving the non-breaching party to incur damages as a result of the breach.
When a breach of contract occurs, the non-breaching party may be entitled to some of the following remedies:
- Damages
Compensatory Damages: To cover certain direct losses and costs incurred. Consequential Damages: For indirect losses that result from the breach. Liquidated Damages: Pre-determined amounts specified in the contract for specific breaches. Punitive Damages: Rarely awarded in contract cases, intended to punish wrongful conduct.
- Specific Performance
A court order may require the breaching party to fulfill their obligations in accordance with the contract; this is usually applied when monetary damages are insufficient, such as in real estate transactions or when the object or performance of the contract is unique in nature.
- Rescission
The contract is canceled, and both parties are excused from further performance to restore them to their pre-contract positions. Contracts are rescinded either through a court order or mutual agreement by all the contracting parties.
- Reformation
A reformation of contract is essentially when all or part of a contract is rewritten and is typically relevant when contracting parties have some mutual mistake in understanding such that the contract terms do not reflect the parties’ intentions. Courts can exercise the power of reformation to make a contract conform with the actual expectations of parties who are litigating a breach of contract.

What types of breaches do you handle?
We handle material breaches (significant failures that go to the heart of the contract), minor breaches (slight deviations that don’t substantially affect the outcome), anticipatory breaches (indication of future non-performance), and actual breaches (failure to perform on the due date).

How do I prove a breach of contract in Pennsylvania?
You must establish that a legally enforceable contract existed, that you performed your obligations or were ready and willing to perform, that the other party failed to perform as required, and that you incurred damages as a result of the breach.
Should I try to resolve a breach of contract before filing a lawsuit?
In many cases, negotiation or mediation can resolve contract disputes more quickly and cost-effectively than litigation. Our attorneys evaluate your situation and recommend the most strategic approach, whether that’s direct negotiation, formal mediation, or pursuing a lawsuit.
