What Is Considered a Breach of Contract?

Like all contracts, sports contracts are legally binding agreements between multiple parties. If one or more parties fail to adhere to any of the terms or conditions of the contract without a legitimate reason, the contract has been breached.

Some examples of possible breaches of contract in sports law include:

Failure to play or perform
Failure to achieve required results
Breaches of contract clauses
Interference with other contracts
Failure to pay bonuses
Unpaid earnings
Wrongful termination

Sports contract disputes may also involve a variety of other issues, such as failure to disclose information, employment or labor law violations, fraud, and more. At Potts Law Firm, our sports contract attorneys understand the many nuances involved in these cases and have a long, proven track record of success in handling complex sports law matters.

Derek H. Potts and Timothy L. Sifers obtained a $12,100,000 verdict against Lisa Gard, M.D. for medical malpractice involving a minor.

The case was one of the largest verdicts in history in the State of Kansas.
Fraud Against Lender $10.7 Million
Potts Law Firm represented a United States Bankruptcy Trustee. The case stemmed from the massive bankruptcy of Royce Homes, one of the largest homebuilders in the country.
