Marissa -- your next step should be having an attorney review the contract to determine what rights, if any, you have (and you need to make a business determination to decide whether it makes sense to try to enforce the agreement). You need to answer some of the following questions: (1) have you suffered any damages/economic losses by the client's failure to fulfill the contract; (2) how much loss revenue have you suffered; (3) why is client trying to get out of contract; (4) is this client that you have done business with in the past or may again in the future (if yes, maybe you don't want to sue them); (5) what are the remedies available pursuant to the contract; (6) does the contract have arbitration provisions included.

Your next step, depending on the amount for which the transaction was made, is to contact an attorney to at least write a letter to attempt enforcement, and to review the contract in order to determine if it is enforceable. Depending on the contract and the other parties ability to pay, this could be a contingency fee arrangment between you and the attorney; however if it across state lines, between vendors, etc., there would be other legal implications to enforcement that would have to be examined prior to filing and could have ramifications on how to proceed towards enforcement.
