Contract Disputes

Contract Dispute Lawyers in BC

Protecting Your Rights in Business and Personal Agreements

Contracts are the backbone of business and personal transactions. When they’re broken or misunderstood, the result can be stress, delays, and significant financial loss, especially for small business owners, contractors, and homeowners.

At Crossroads Law, our BC contract dispute lawyers help clients across Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, and the Lower Mainland resolve disputes with practical legal guidance. Whether the issue involves payment, scope of work, or performance concerns, we work with you to find a clear and cost-effective path to resolution.

Types of Contract Disputes We Handle in BC

Every dispute is different, and we tailor our approach to your unique circumstances. Common matters we assist with include:

Breach of Contract Lawyer – BC

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to meet their obligations under an agreement. This may involve unfinished work, missed deadlines, or failure to deliver goods or services as promised. These cases are especially common in construction, trades, and small businesses where timing is critical.

Whether you’re seeking to enforce a contract, recover losses, or defend against a breach claim, our lawyers work with both plaintiffs and defendants to protect their rights under BC law.

Real Estate Contract Dispute Lawyer – BC

When a real estate purchase or sale agreement collapses, the consequences can be costly. Buyers risk losing deposits, sellers may miss out on other offers, and financing arrangements can unravel quickly.

Disputes often arise from missed deadlines, unmet conditions (such as financing or inspection clauses), or disagreements over repairs and disclosures. Our team helps buyers and sellers clarify their rights, negotiate solutions, or pursue remedies including damages, return of deposits, or specific performance under BC’s Law and Equity Act.

Unpaid Invoice & Non-Payment Lawyer – BC

If you’ve completed work or delivered goods and haven’t been paid, your business and livelihood are at risk. We assist contractors, tradespeople, and small businesses in recovering unpaid invoices through demand letters, small claims actions (for disputes under $35,000), lien filings, or Supreme Court claims for larger matters.

We also defend clients facing unjustified payment demands, helping them respond to claims involving disputes over quality, timelines, or performance.

Verbal Agreement Disputes – Enforcing Contracts in BC

In BC, verbal agreements can still be legally enforceable — but they are often harder to prove than written contracts. Disagreements may arise when each party has a different understanding of what was promised.

We help clients evaluate the strength of their verbal agreements, gather supporting evidence, and explore legal options for enforcement under BC law, including the Sale of Goods Act where applicable.
