Liquidated Damages Clause Analysis
Liquidated damages clauses set a predetermined amount owed if a breach occurs, replacing the need to prove actual damages later. The catch: courts enforce these only if they're a reasonable estimate of real harm—a clause set too high gets thrown out entirely, leaving you with nothing, making analysis critical before committing to the number.
