If you have a signed agreement, then you would file a breach of contract lawsuit, and then file for summary judgment. There'd be no need to get into the other issues at that point as they are incorporated into the agreement.

If you don't have a signed agreement, then, unfortunately, you'd have to litigate all of the issues.
