Providing sound counsel for your business law matters in Fairfax

If you engage in commerce, sooner or later you are almost certain to encounter a dispute with a client or contractor that you'll need outside help to resolve. Thomas J. Powell, P.C. has been assisting businesses for more than 25 years through alternative dispute resolution and civil trials in both state and federal court. We have the knowledge and experience to help your business in cases related to:
-Breach of contract
-Breach of warranty
-Business torts
-Construction law
-Environmental law
-Insurance
-Products liability
-Professional liability
-Real estate
-Partnership and shareholder disputes

Recovery from breach of contract:
When a party to a contract fails to perform, he damages the other business.This damage often goes beyond the immediate inconvenience of getting less than promised by the contract.The breach can also cost you future profits if you are unable to serve your clients as a result. Thomas J. Powell can help you achieve the best legal remedy for a breach of contract, such as:

-Compensatory damages reimbursement for immediate monetary loss
-Consequential and incidental damages compensation for additional foreseeable losses caused by the breach
-Attorney fees and costs amounts available by the contract or by statute
-Liquidated damages amounts specified in the contract that are payable for particular breaches, such as late or substandard performance
-Specific performance court order requiring the breaching party to fulfill the terms of the contract
-Rescission cancellation of the contract, with both sides excused from further performance and payments made under the contract returned
-Reformation change in the terms of the contract when the court believes there was an honest misunderstanding by the parties about what was to be performed

Affordable alternatives to a civil suit:
The cost of traditional litigation can easily exceed the amount of the contract. Fortunately there are various means of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation and arbitration, which can be less costly and quicker than civil lawsuits, but can deliver the same remedies. Our skilled negotiators have successfully represented clients in arbitration and mediation hearings, and have settled lawsuits prior to trial, saving our clients expenses and getting their businesses back on track.
