- Misrepresentation: False statements that induced a party to enter into the contract
- Contractual Interpretation: Disagreements about the meaning of specific terms
- Performance Issues: Disputes over quality, timeliness, or completeness of work
- Payment Conflicts: Disagreements regarding payment amounts
