Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

Standard Vendor Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Dec 21, 2021

Is a void contract enforceable in court?

We are a LLC Rug business. We were ask for a collaboration in exchange for a social media post. Our contract states that “If in 2 weeks you haven’t posted, then this contract is null and void and you would have to pay full price for the rugs”. Can we sue them if they don’t pay for the rugs if we mentioned that the contract is null and void?

Richard G.

Answered Jan 4, 2022

What you have described appears to act as a liquidated damages clause. Typically liquidated damage clauses are unenforceable, or not enforced by courts in Massachusetts. However, there may be other methods that can be used to pursue this vendor. For example, a demand letter is one method of putting pressure on a vendor, and such a letter can be followed up with a suit if the matters in the letter are not addressed within 30 days.

Retainer Agreement

Washington

Asked on Dec 18, 2024

Can a lawyer increase the retainer fee outlined in the retainer agreement after the agreement has been signed?

I recently hired a lawyer to represent me in a legal matter, and we entered into a retainer agreement that outlined the scope of the representation and the retainer fee required. However, after a few weeks, the lawyer informed me that they would be increasing the retainer fee due to unexpected complexities in my case. I am wondering if this is permissible under the retainer agreement, or if I have any rights to challenge this increase and continue with the original agreed-upon fee.

Merry K.

Answered Dec 27, 2024

Thank you for your question. The answer is going to sound a bit vague, but a retainer agreement is a type of contract - like any contract, the answer depends on the terms of the agreement itself. Please read the agreement very carefully, and see whether or not an increase in the retainer is allowed or not under the terms of the agreement as written. Also, please note that most often, a retainer is simply a down payment on hourly fees that will be charged - if that's the case, the attorney will have more flexibility in asking you to pay in advance. If, on the other hand, you are being charged a flat fee for a service, the attorney may have less flexibility in changing the terms. I suggest that you carefully read through this page of information from the Washington State Bar Association for additional information: https://www.wsba.org/for-the-public/concerns-about-a-lawyer

Business Contract

Washington

Asked on Sep 21, 2023

Penalty for breaking a business contract?

I am a small business owner looking to enter into a contract with a larger company. We have negotiated terms and conditions, but I am concerned about the potential penalty if either party breaks the contract. I would like to know what the legal consequences may be for a breach of contract, so I can make an informed decision about entering into the agreement.

Merry K.

Answered Sep 23, 2023

Some contracts incorporate both reasons for breaching or ending a contract, and some incorporate the amount of a penalty. Most business contracts incorporate what state's laws apply, and whether a dispute will be taken to arbitration or court. If nothing is specified in a contract, parties are most likely to sue for lost income. To truly make an informed decision, I recommend that you consult with a business attorney BEFORE you sign a contract, so that he or she can review the proposed contract and recommend changes BEFORE you sign.

Independent Contractor Agreement

Washington

Asked on Nov 10, 2023

How to terminate an independent contractor agreement?

I am an independent contractor who recently entered into an agreement with a company. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I need to terminate the agreement. I am looking for advice on how to do so in a way that is legally compliant and protects my interests.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 28, 2023

I cannot give legal advice in this question/answer format, and no attorney/client relationship is formed. However, first read through your contract and find the paragraph(s) that deal with the termination of the contract. Next, contact an attorney for at least a 30 minute consultation prior to making any moves. Finally, contact the company and explain that you need to terminate, and why, and express the hope that you can terminate on a "win win" no hard feeling basis.

Consulting Agreement

Washington

Asked on Nov 4, 2023

Are consulting agreements legally binding?

I am a consultant looking to enter into a consulting agreement with a client. I am wondering if consulting agreements are legally binding and what the implications of that would be for both parties. I want to ensure that I am protected and that my client is held accountable for any obligations they have agreed to.

Merry K.

Answered Dec 5, 2023

In theory, all consulting (and other written agreements) are legally binding/enforceable, but in practice, it depends entirely on how an agreement is written and the understanding of the parties when they form an agreement. If you will be working on many projects, with many clients, I urge you to get assistance from an attorney in reviewing/writing any boilerplate you end up using, including choosing certain paragraphs that may change from contract to contract.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
