Can there be a breach of contract if the parties didn’t sign anything?

Even if the parties involved in the contract did not sign anything and there was a type of formal close to the contract, then technically the contract exists.  Formally closing a deal could be as easy as shaking hands.  Most people beleive that a contract only exists if there is a document with signatures on it.  This is not necessarily true.

Finding a Skilled Lawyer to Protect your Interests

In life, some disputes simply can't be avoided. Disagreements between family members, friends, or business associates may often be settled amicably in due time, albeit not without leaving some feathers ruffled or relationships in precarious situations. Other types of conflict, however, may be so severe as to require litigation before any settlement can be reached.

In the latter situation, one will need legal representation. If you don't have a competent lawyer to represent and help you out, then you're in for disaster. Hiring a capable lawyer is especially critical if you're dealing with employment issues.

Employment laws can be very broad, with both employers and employees enjoying protection of their respective rights. In cases of serious disagreements over work-related concerns, only an employment lawyer, who can represent either the employer or the employee, may be able to clarify the issues. With the right resolution strategies and the assistance of their respective lawyers, the opposing sides can reach out-of-court settlements and thereby avoid further inconveniences.

Disputes can be settled amicably through negotiation, although this may not be applicable in all cases. In matters where court arbitration is required, particularly for employment issues, hiring the right employment lawyer can help keep one's rights protected.
