Consultation about theater covid policy
We booked a local theater to put on performance. At signing of contract, there was no covid restriction. However, recently theater imposed a restriction to audiences who come to the show that they either vaccinated or show negative PCR test results within 72 hours of show. This new policy hurt our ticket sale badly. Please note, this is theater initiated policy, not from government.

You will need an attorney to review your agreement with the theatre in order to properly advise you based on the contract. As such, you will need to post your project on the website Here are the steps you need to take to accomplish this 1.

Severance Agreement
North Carolina
Severance agreement and confidentiality of terms?
I recently left my job of five years and was offered a severance agreement. I am now concerned about the confidentiality of the terms of the agreement, as I am worried that the terms of the agreement could be shared with other potential employers. I am seeking legal advice to understand my rights and obligations regarding the confidentiality of the severance agreement.
Shelia H.
In most cases, a severance agreement will have a confidentiality provision included. However, even if there is a confidentiality agreement, there are some instances where that confidentiality may be broken. For instance, in the case of a court order requesting the release of information or a government agency, such as the IRS or the state taxing or unemployment office, an employer may have to release information. There are also laws that prohibit the release of certain private information. In your case, it sounds as if your employer didn't include a confidentiality provision in the severance agreement, and for contracts, the general rule is that if a provision isn't included in the contract, it's not included in the contract. That being said, you may want to contact the employer and ask what the employer's policy is regarding the release of information to potential employers that you may be seeking to work with. There are also two laws that you may want to consider speaking to a NC-licensed attorney about. They are the following: 1.§ 1-539.12. Immunity from civil liability for employers disclosing information. "(a) An employer who discloses information about a current or former employee's job history or job performance to a prospective employer of the current or former employee upon request of the prospective employer or upon request of the current or former employee is immune from civil liability and is not liable in civil damages for the disclosure or any consequences of the disclosure." 2. § 14-355. Blacklisting employees. "If any person, agent, company or corporation, after having discharged any employee from his or its service, shall prevent or attempt to prevent, by word or writing of any kind, such discharged employee from obtaining employment with any other person, company or corporation, such person, agent or corporation shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00); and such person, agent, company or corporation shall be liable in penal damages to such discharged person, to be recovered by civil action.

Letter of Intent
North Carolina
Can a Letter of Intent be legally binding?
I am in the process of negotiating a business deal with another party, and we have exchanged a series of letters of intent outlining our intentions and basic terms of the agreement. However, I have heard conflicting opinions on whether a letter of intent is legally binding or merely a preliminary document. I want to understand the legal implications of these letters and whether they can be enforced in case of a breach by either party.
Jeff G.
Yes, they can, depending on how they’re written. Generally speaking, a promise to enter into an agreement isn’t binding. But the problem with most Letters of Intent is that they can sometimes contain all of the essential elements of a contract: offer, consideration, demonstration of capacity, and contracting for something it’s legal to contract for. So how is a Letter of Intent NOT a contract? You have to remove one of the elements, usually the offer or consideration. It has to say that it’s not an offer, for example - that it’s a negotiation document. And 99/100, LoI’s don’t say that at all.

Sales Agreement
Washington
Can a sales agreement be terminated if one party fails to fulfill their obligations?
I recently entered into a sales agreement with a company to purchase a large quantity of products for my business. The agreement outlined the price, quantity, and delivery schedule of the products. However, the company has consistently failed to deliver the products on time and in the agreed-upon quantities. This has caused significant disruptions to my business operations and financial losses. I would like to know if I have the legal right to terminate the sales agreement due to the company's failure to fulfill their obligations, and if so, what steps should I take to do so?
Merry K.
The following constitutes educational information, not legal advice: 1. Write the other party a letter by certified, return receipt mail - outline the ways in which the other party has been violating the contract, and give them a deadline for resolving the problem. Do not make any threats. 2. Carefully review your agreement and follow any provisions for dispute resolution, such as negotiation, medication, or arbitration. I suggest that in your approach, you emphasize that you believe that the other party is in breach of the contract, but make it clear that you would like to resolve the problem together - but that the other party has a deadline for doing so. If none of the above works, you may want to write another certified, return receipt letter stating that the other party is in breach of the agreement, and none of your reasonable efforts to resolve the matter have resolved the problem. You may want to state that at this point, the contract is now null and void. I recommend that you have a business contract attorney help you through this process - an another other than me. Good luck!

Letter of Intent
Pennsylvania
Letter of intent
I registered a startup clothing boutique in PA and I planned to attend a fashion trade show to purchase from wholesale vendors. Because I am a startup and my business is not up and running I am required to provide a letter of intent for my boutique. How do I go about getting a letter of intent signed by lawyer?
Amy Sue L.
A "letter of intent" is typically not signed by a lawyer, it is signed by two or more parties who intend to enter into a transaction together in the future, but who do not yet have sufficient details regarding the terms of the transaction to enter into a formal agreement. Has the trade show given any additional info / context about this request? - I think your question has not been answered because your use of the term "letter of intent" and "lawyer" in this context is unusual. More information about what you mean by "registered a startup" would also be helpful - if you have formed a company, you should be able to provide a certificate of good standing or other evidence of that formation to the show, which may be sufficient. If you cannot provide that documentation, I wonder if you are also using the term "registered" in another, non-traditional way (from a legal point of view)? Happy to try to help with more info!
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
