Settlement, arbitration, or trial — Ivan fights for the best possible outcome.
A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to perform their obligations under a valid agreement. To prevail, you must prove the contract existed, you performed your obligations, the other party didn't, and you suffered damages as a result. Written contracts are stronger but oral contracts can also be enforceable.
California's statute of limitations is 4 years for written contracts and 2 years for oral contracts. These deadlines are strict — missing them can bar your claim entirely regardless of how strong your case is.
California's Unfair Competition Law (UCL) prohibits unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business acts. It's a powerful tool because it allows recovery of restitution and injunctive relief even without individual damages. Ivan uses B&P § 17200 strategically to enhance business dispute claims.
Often yes — litigation is expensive and uncertain. But the right leverage for settlement usually comes from being fully prepared to litigate. Ivan advises on when to negotiate, when to mediate, and when to file. The decision depends on the strength of your claims and the other party's posture.
