Damages for breach of contract covers claims for monetary compensation when a party fails to perform promised obligations. A solicitor advises on, drafts and negotiates settlement of damage claims, prepares the particulars of claim, serves documents on the other party, and navigates the processes for assessment of quantum, including limitation, causation and remoteness. They may act in negotiations or court proceedings to obtain damages or alternative remedies when a contract is breached.

The provisions, structures and interactions involved include drafting pleadings, identifying measure of loss, proving causation, quantifying liquidated or non-liquidated damages, and handling disclosure, expert evidence, and interim relief where relevant. The solicitor coordinates with the client, opposing party, and relevant witnesses, and manages procedural steps in court or out of court to determine the amount recoverable.
