CONTRACT DISPUTE & ENFORCEMENT
Contract Dispute & Enforcement Support
When the Agreement Breaks, Structure Matters.
​
Contracts are drafted to allocate risk.
​
When a dispute arises, the outcome often turns on how that risk was structured — and how it is interpreted.
​
JWL supports attorneys with post-execution contract analysis and enforcement strategy development. We review the agreement, evaluate performance, identify breach exposure, and assist with structured resolution or litigation support.
​
JWL works exclusively with attorneys. We do not provide legal representation.
​​
Has a Breach Occurred?
Disputes often begin with uncertainty:
​
• Was there a material breach?
• Was notice required?
• Was a cure period triggered?
• Did a condition precedent fail?
• Is there anticipatory repudiation?
• Is performance excused?
​
We conduct structured contract review to determine:
​
• The operative obligations
• Notice and cure mechanics
• Default triggers
• Acceleration clauses
• Indemnification exposure
• Limitation of liability application
• Fee-shifting provisions
• Forum selection implications
Deliverable: Breach Analysis Memorandum
JWL can provide a written memorandum for counsel addressing:
​
• Contract interpretation
• Strength of breach claim
• Defense exposure
• Procedural posture considerations
• Damages framework
• Strategic options
​
This memo is drafted for attorney use and file integration.
​
Pre-Litigation Strategy & Demand Drafting
Before litigation, precision matters.
​
Improper notice can waive rights.
Failure to follow contractual cure mechanics can undermine a claim.
​
JWL drafts:
​
• Notices of default
• Cure notices
• Reservation of rights letters
• Acceleration notices
• Demand letters aligned with contract terms
​
We structure demand letters to reflect the agreement’s enforcement mechanics — not just assert conclusions.
​
​
Settlement Structuring & Resolution Drafting​
Many disputes resolve before trial.
​
When they do, clarity is critical.
​
JWL drafts:
• Settlement agreements
• Mutual releases
• Payment plans
• Installment agreements
• Confidentiality provisions
• Stipulations of discontinuance
• Settlement enforcement clauses
​
We focus on closing risk cleanly — not simply documenting compromise.
​
​
Litigation Support & Pleading Drafting
​
When enforcement escalates, structure remains central.
​
JWL provides drafting support for:
• Complaints
• Counterclaims
• Affirmative defenses
• Contract interpretation memoranda
• Damages modeling
• Motion support
​
All materials are delivered to counsel for review and filing.
​
​
​
​
​
Mediation & Negotiation Support
​
In mediation, preparation determines leverage.
​
JWL assists with:
​
• Mediation position memoranda
• Exposure analysis
• Settlement modeling
• Risk allocation proposals
• Structured negotiation drafts
​
We help attorneys enter mediation with clarity about contractual rights and vulnerabilities.
​​​
​
The Contract Lifecycle Approach
​
JWL supports the entire contract lifecycle:
​
Drafting → Redlining → Execution → Breach Analysis → Enforcement → Resolution
