Legal Remedies in Commercial Litigation

No two cases are the same; however, the available damages and legal remedies in business litigation include:
  • Compensatory damages to recover financial losses resulting from a breach or tort, such as lost profits, royalties, or loss of market value
  • Consequential and incidental damages for financial losses incurred as an indirect but foreseeable result of the breach, including loss of use, loss of goodwill, and restitution
  • Liquidated or monetary damages for breach of contract, as long as the agreement provides for these damages
  • Punitive damages to punish the defendant’s wrongdoing and to discourage others from similar misconduct
  • Rescission to cancel the contract and release the parties from future performance
  • Reformation or a modification of the contract terms to reflect the parties’ original intent
  • Specific performance, which is a court order requiring a party to perform its contractual obligations, such as delivering goods or services, when monetary damages are not feasible
  • Injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders or temporary or permanent injunctions, rather than awarding monetary damages
  • Attorney fees and costs are only recoverable if the contract provides for them
