Contract Dispute Lawyer

Resolving Business and Personal Contract Conflicts in Philadelphia

Contracts are at the heart of most business and personal deals. When someone doesn’t hold up their end of the agreement or there’s a disagreement about what the contract means, it can lead to stress, lost time, and financial damage.
At Rabinovich Sokolov Law Group (RS Law Group), we help people, business owners, and companies in Philadelphia and beyond work through tough contract disputes. Our team of contract dispute lawyers combines a strong understanding of Pennsylvania contract law with real courtroom experience to stand up for your rights and work toward the best possible outcome.

Why Contract Disputes Arise

Even well-written agreements can still cause disagreements. Common reasons include:
  • Alleged breach of contract: Failure to deliver goods or services, missed deadlines, or non-payment. These situations often leave one side feeling cheated or financially harmed.
  • Ambiguous or poorly drafted terms: Clauses that leave room for interpretation. When wording isn’t clear, each side may think the contract means something different.
  • Misrepresentation or fraud: One party enters an agreement based on false statements. This can quickly destroy trust and make the deal impossible to move forward.
  • Termination or performance issues: Disagreements about when obligations end or how they must be carried out. Both sides may believe they’ve done what’s required, leading to a standoff.
  • Change of circumstances: Market shifts, supply issues, or unexpected events affecting the contract. Sometimes, real-life changes make it hard or impossible for someone to keep their promises.

Our Approach to Contract Disputes

At RS Law Group, we look at every dispute from both a legal and a business point of view. We start by carefully reviewing your contract, related documents, and communications to find your strongest arguments.
From there, we work with you to find practical solutions that fit your goals, whether that means saving an important relationship, getting back lost money, or stopping further damage. Here’s what you can expect from us:
  • Early case evaluation: We’ll give you an honest look at the strengths, weaknesses, and risks in your case right from the start.
  • Negotiation and settlement options: When it makes sense, we’ll explore cost-effective ways to resolve the dispute without going to trial.
  • Aggressive litigation when needed: If a fair resolution isn’t possible, we’ll dig in with full discovery, motions, and trial prep to give you the best shot in court.
  • Clear communication: You’ll get regular updates and plain-language explanations so you always know what’s happening with your case.

Types of Contract Matters We Handle

Our civil litigation team represents clients in a wide range of contract disputes, including:
  • Business-to-business agreements and vendor contracts
  • Partnership, shareholder, and operating agreements
  • Real estate purchase, sale, and lease contracts
  • Construction contracts and change orders
  • Employment and non-compete agreements
  • Confidentiality and licensing agreements
  • Professional services and consulting contracts
Because we also advise on corporate and real estate transactions, we understand the underlying business issues at stake and can use that insight to build stronger litigation strategies.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

A lot of contracts say you have to try arbitration or mediation before you can go to court. At RS Law Group, our contract dispute lawyer regularly guides clients through mediation, arbitration, and other types of ADR. We get ready for these sessions just as carefully as we do for a trial, so your side of the story is clear and convincing, whether the dispute stays private or ends up in court.

What Do Clients Say About Us

Expert zoning and land-use help!
“I had the pleasure of working with RS Law Group on a complex zoning matter, and their expertise was truly outstanding. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, they provided strategic guidance, in-depth legal knowledge, and excellent advocacy. They navigated local zoning regulations with ease, effectively presenting my case before the zoning board and community stakeholders. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to achieving the best outcome made a significant difference. Thanks to their efforts, my project moved forward without unnecessary delays. I highly recommend RS Law Group to anyone in need of top-tier zoning and land use legal representation!”
Generous, caring legal advice!
“Jason was extremely helpful when I reached out for a consultation about my HOA's regrettable experiences with Giraldo Real Estate Group, their extreme mismanagement of our building's funds, and their "accidentally" canceling our master insurance policy without telling us. Jason called me immediately and provided valuable advice about this misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty. Although we did not end up retaining legal services, Jason provided far more advice than many would provide for free, to me and then to our HOA board. He seemed to actually care about the situation and generously provided us with enough context to proceed on our own.”
Professional and great communicator!
“Jason helped my husband and I settle a real estate dispute after the purchase of our home. He is extremely professional and a top notch communicator. He helped us navigate the situation and get us to an outcome we were comfortable with. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.”
