Inflation is creating unprecedented financial hurdles for businesses and their contractual obligations, and legal counsel may be necessary to help business owners rebalance and renegotiate terms.
”
RENO, NV, UNITED STATES, May 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As inflation continues to rise and resources become more scarce, there has been an increase in contract-related disputes. The rising costs of goods, labor, and services are disrupting current business contractual agreements and resulting in disagreements that warrant litigation.— Ken LaMance, LegalMatch’s General Counsel.
Various sectors experience the ripple effect of inflation, impacting the enforceability and interpretation of contracts in numerous ways. Many business owners subsequently face challenges in fulfilling agreements based on previously established prices.
Here are a few key areas where businesses are facing such challenges:
Increased Breach of Contract Risks: Many businesses are running into scenarios where they can no longer afford previously agreed upon financial fulfillments, leading to a rise in breach of contract claims.
Strained Supplier Agreements: Businesses that rely on fixed-price contracts are undergoing negotiations with suppliers to increase costs or completely pull out of contracts due to inflation.
Price Escalation Clause Disputes: Though these clauses are intended to mitigate risk, many are proving to be inadequate with how rapidly inflation is rising, leading to questions and disagreements about clause applicability.
Increased Litigation Over Contract Disputes: With businesses attempting to renegotiate contracts in light of economic changes, disagreements over revised terms are escalating into often-costly legal disputes.
