I absolutely love helping my clients buy their first home, sell their starters, upgrade to their next big adventure, or transition to their next phase of life. The confidence my clients have going into a transaction and through the whole process is one of the most rewarding aspects of practicing this type of law. My very first class in law school was property law, and let me tell you, this was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I remember vividly cracking open that big red book and staring at the pages not having the faintest idea what I was actually reading. Despite those initial scary moments, I grew to love property law. My obsession with real estate law was solidified when I was working in Virginia at a law firm outside DC. I ran the settlement (escrow) department and learned the ins and outs of transactions and the unique needs of the parties. My husband and I bought our first home in Virginia in 2012 and despite being an attorney, there was so much we didn’t know, especially when it came to our HOA and our mortgage. Our real estate agent was a wonderful resource for finding our home and negotiating some of the key terms, but there was something missing in the process. I’ve spent the last 10 years helping those who were in the same situation we were in better understand the process.

Catering Services Agreement

New York

Asked on Aug 9, 2025

Can a catering services agreement be terminated if the caterer fails to provide the agreed-upon services?

I hired a catering company to provide food and beverage services for my upcoming event, and we entered into a catering services agreement that outlined the scope of services, menu, and payment terms. However, the caterer has been unresponsive and has failed to provide any updates or confirmations leading up to the event. With the event approaching, I'm concerned about their ability to fulfill their obligations and wondering if I have grounds to terminate the agreement and seek alternative catering services.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 10, 2025

If your caterer has stopped responding and missed key confirmations as your event approaches, you may be within your rights to cancel the agreement. Under contract law, when one party clearly fails to meet essential obligations, or shows signs they won’t follow through, the other party may be released from their responsibilities. When You Can Cancel 1. Material Breach. If your caterer isn’t communicating and you can’t finalize your menu or logistics, that’s more than a minor problem. It may qualify as a material breach—meaning they’ve failed to deliver something critical to the agreement. In catering, timing and communication are central. If they’re missing in action, you may have grounds to walk away. 2. Anticipatory Breach. If it appears your caterer isn’t going to show up—such as ignoring multiple follow-ups as your event nears—you don’t have to wait for them to officially back out. Their silence may count as an anticipatory breach, which allows you to end the contract and secure a replacement in advance. Review the Agreement Before taking action, read the contract closely. Pay attention to: • Termination clauses: Are there specific steps or notice rules you need to follow? • Cure periods: Do you have to give them a certain number of days to fix the issue? • Refund or cancellation policies: Do they address partial payments or deposits? • Force majeure clauses: These usually cover uncontrollable events like natural disasters, not a vendor’s failure to communicate. Your Next Steps • Keep detailed records Save emails, texts, and call logs, noting dates and unanswered messages. This creates a paper trail that supports your decision if challenged. • Send a demand for assurance Before canceling, send a written request asking them to confirm they’ll perform. Be specific about what they’ve failed to do, set a 24- to 48-hour deadline if the event is near, and state that if they don’t respond, you’ll treat it as repudiation. This process reflects the concept of “adequate assurance” under UCC § 2-609, often applied to service contracts. • Provide formal notice If they don’t respond, send a termination notice in writing. Refer to their lack of performance or failure to reply, and follow any notice requirements in the contract—such as sending it by certified mail. • Find a replacement You’re expected to minimize your losses, so line up another caterer as soon as possible. If the replacement costs more, you may be able to recover the difference, provided the cost is reasonable. Potential Remedies If termination is justified, you may be able to recover: • Deposits or payments already made • Additional costs from hiring a replacement caterer • Other foreseeable expenses, such as venue penalties or last-minute rental fees A Word of Caution Your ability to recover money depends heavily on the contract language. A “non-refundable deposit” clause may complicate refunds, though you can argue that keeping the deposit is unfair when the caterer failed to perform. If significant amounts are at stake, consult a lawyer. Outcomes depend on local law and the specifics of your agreement. If you need guidance, the attorneys at Contracts Counsel can help you review your contract and advise you on your next steps.

Employment Contract

Ohio

Asked on Apr 13, 2023

What's personal leave in an employment contract?

I have recently been offered a job, and the employment contract I have been provided with states that I am entitled to personal leave. I am not sure what this is, or what it entitles me to. I would like to know what rights and responsibilities I have regarding personal leave, and what the employer's expectations are of me with regards to this leave.

Jeffrey K.

Answered Apr 14, 2023

Personal leave sometimes replaces vacation and sick time. Some employers just give employees time off for whatever reason the employee chooses. To know more about the rights and responsibilities, you should speak to HR at your new employer who will help you with the employer's expectations and your rights under the leave provision in your contract. Also, look at your contract as it may provide insight as to how to implement the leave. When in doubt, speak to HR. Thanks.

Book Publishing Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jul 27, 2025

Can a book publishing agreement be terminated if the publisher fails to fulfill their obligations?

I recently signed a book publishing agreement with a small publishing company, and they promised to provide editing, marketing, and distribution services for my book. However, it has been several months since the agreement was signed, and the publisher has failed to fulfill their obligations. They have not provided any editing or marketing support, and my book is not being properly distributed. I am concerned about the future success of my book and wondering if I have grounds to terminate the agreement due to the publisher's breach of contract.

Ricardo A.

Answered Aug 12, 2025

Material Breach by Publisher – Right to Terminate:Ye s – under Texas law, if a book publisher fails to fulfill fundamental obligations under the publishing contract, the author (non-breaching party) may have the right to terminate the agreement. A material breach (a failure that goes to the heart of the contract) by one party allows the other party to end the contract and cease further performance. For example, if the publisher does not publish the book or fails to provide agreed-upon marketing/promotion crucial to the book’s success, that failure can be deemed a material breach of the publishing agreement. In such a case, the author can treat the contract as terminated due to the publisher’s non-performance. Texas courts recognize that when one party doesn’t “hold up their end of the bargain” in a significant way, the other party is relieved from continuing the contract. Contractual Termination Clauses: The specific written contract terms are critical here. Most publishing agreements are written and often contain provisions addressing default or termination. For instance, the contract might state that if the publisher fails to publish the book by a certain deadline or fails to pay royalties, the author can terminate and regain rights. Any such clause in the agreement will govern the termination process. Typically, publishing contracts include a requirement that the author give the publisher written notice of the breach and a chance to cure it within a specified time before the author can terminate. Texas law enforces these notice-and-cure provisions as written. Always check if the agreement has a clause like “Termination for Publisher’s Failure to Perform” or an “out-of-print”/reversion clause that triggers if the publisher isn’t meeting obligations. Notice and Opportunity to Cure: Before immediately canceling the contract, the author should follow any procedural steps required by the contract. Commonly, formal notice to the publisher describing their failure is required, along with a reasonable opportunity for the publisher to fix the problem. For example, if the publisher missed the publication deadline, the contract might require the author to give notice and maybe 30 days for the publisher to cure (publish or make arrangements) before termination is effective. This aligns with general contract principles in Texas – acting in good faith and giving the breaching party a chance to remedy can be necessary if the contract stipulates it. If the publisher fails to cure the breach in the prescribed time, the author can proceed to terminate the agreement. Grounds for Termination – “Failure to Fulfill Obligations”: Failing to meet essential obligations– such as not meeting publication deadlines, not printing or distributing the book at all, or not paying the author – typically constitutes a material breachin a publishing contract. If the breach “defeats the purpose of the contract” (for instance, the whole point was to publish and promote the book, and the publisher isn’t doing that), Texas law would consider it a substantial failure warranting termination. In one illustrative scenario, an author asked if they could end the contract because the publisher missed multiple release deadlines; the legal reasoning was that if timely publication was a key term, repeated delays amount to a major breach justifying termination. Likewise, lack of promised marketing support could be a breach if it significantly undermines the book’s success. The author should document how the publisher’s non-performance is a serious violation of the agreement. Remedies upon Termination: If a publishing agreement is terminated for the publisher’s breach, the author is generally released from any further obligations to that publisher and can seek remedies. This often means the author can keep any advance already paid (depending on the contract) and reclaim the book rights. The author may also seek damages for any financial losses caused by the delay or non-performance, though in publishing, usually the primary “remedy” is getting the rights back so the author can find a new publisher. Under contract law, the non-breaching party is entitled to be put in the position they would have been if the contract had been performed – in practical terms, the author could claim lost profits or opportunities if provable. However, many publishing contracts limit remedies, so it’s important to follow the contract’s termination procedure to ensure the rights revert to the author cleanly. In summary, yes, an author can terminate a book publishing agreement if the publisher materially fails to fulfill their obligations. Texas law treats a publisher’s significant failure (missed deadlines, no publication, lack of payment, etc.) as a material breach that can justify ending the contract. The author should invoke any applicable contract clauses, give required notice and time to cure, and then terminate if the issue remains unremedied. Once properly terminated for breach, the author is no longer bound by the contract and can seek appropriate remedies for the publisher’s breach.
