CONTRACT ENFORCEMENT LAWYER

When an oil & gas contract has been negotiated and signed by each of the contracting parties, there are no assurances that everything will proceed in accordance with the plan that has been set out on paper. For even when a legally binding agreement has been drafted and fully executed, all too often circumstances arise that require assertive enforcement action, and should the other side be unwilling or incapable of satisfying its obligations under the contract, an important consideration is the retention of a lawyer to intercede on your behalf to enforce the contract's obligations.

Enforcing a contract typically takes on one of two objective goals, either (1) getting the other party to fulfill their contractual obligations (if you still believe that your counterpart can and will subsequently conform to their ongoing obligations following this apparent lapse in their commitment to abide by their contractual requirements) or pursue appropriate remedial action for their breach of contract (based upon the supposition that they cannot or will not fulfill their contractual obligations now and/or in the future).

Given that breach of contract claims are not necessarily easily rectified, even when one's initial presumption is that everything is in their favour; it can make business sense to attempt to seek the enforcement of the contract, whether in its current form or with an appropriate amendment (thereby seeking to improve the legal position of the non-contravening party). In each of these instances, your lawyer can be highly beneficial, to not only understanding your legal options, but also in outlining the weaknesses and drawbacks associated with a particular course of action, in addition to putting together the legal paperwork that can improve the odds of the enforcement process succeeding.
