In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

Contracts Legal Questions and Answers
Contracts
Photography Usage Rights Agreement
Washington
Can a photographer include a clause in a license agreement that prohibits the client from editing or altering the photographs?
I recently hired a photographer to take some professional headshots for my business. The photographer sent me a license agreement that includes a clause stating that I am not allowed to edit or alter the photographs in any way without their express permission. While I understand the importance of protecting the photographer's work, I also want to have the flexibility to make minor adjustments or enhancements to the images for my specific business needs. I'm wondering if this clause is legally enforceable and if there are any potential repercussions if I were to make edits without seeking permission.
Merry K.
When entering into any type of contract with anyone and about anything, one of the parties can include any terms they desire as long as the term is not illegal. If you signed the license agreement before the photographer completed the work for you, you will need to seek and obtain express permission to edit or alter the photographs. If, however, the photographer sent you the agreement after he or she completed the work, including sending you the photos, and you paying for it, the photographer can't make you sign a contract after the fact, and such terms would likely not be enforceable. If you signed the agreement before the work was done, and you alter the photos, the photographer could sue you for breach of contract, copyright violation, and perhaps a few other types of intellectual property claims. If you like the photographer's work, it's best to work out arrangements with him or her or the company, because you may want a good relationship with them going forward. Moreover, the photographer may have a better skillset in regards to editing the photos to meet your needs. Please note that I am not accepting new work until the end of October - I just wanted to answer your question; I'm turning down all offers of work at this time. I also do not engage in litigation any more.
Contracts
Business Purchase Agreement
New York
Can I update a business purchase agreement post-signing?
I recently purchased a business and signed a purchase agreement. However, I have since discovered that the agreement does not include certain terms that I believe are important to the transaction. I would like to know if it is possible to update the agreement post-signing to include these additional terms.
Damien B.
Hello. You mention updating a purchase agreement. It sounds like your goal is to modify the agreement. And generally, the agreement itself would set forth how modifications can occur. Usually, modifications must be in writing upon the consent of the parties to the agreement. Therefore, if one party wants to modify the agreement because that party wants to include additional terms, the parties to the original agreement can enter into a written modification or addendum to the agreement.
Contracts
Noncompete Agreement
Florida
Noncompete agreement choice of law?
I recently accepted a job offer with a new employer and they sent me a Noncompete Agreement to sign. I have some questions about the agreement, specifically related to the choice of law. My former employer and I are in different states, and I want to make sure I understand the implications of the agreement before signing.
Venus C.
Congratulations on your new job. Generally, a choice of law clause contained in a non-compete agreement indicates which state law will govern the contract. By way of general example, let's pretend we have a non-compete agreement that states the choice of law is Florida. Let's also pretend the parties to this agreement had a dispute and one party filed a lawsuit against the other in the state of New York. In this pretend scenario, because the parties agreed Florida to be their choice of law for the non-compete agreement, the court in New York would abide by that contractual agreement and apply Florida law. While choice of law clauses are commonly used to indicate what law will apply to a contract, the language used or omitted plays a significant role in their interpretation and enforceability.
Contracts
Contractor Agreement
California
Can a contractor agreement be modified without written consent?
I recently entered into a contractor agreement with a company to provide my services for a specific project, but the company has now informed me that they want to make changes to the terms of the agreement, including the scope of work and payment terms, without obtaining my written consent. I am unsure if they have the legal right to modify the agreement without my agreement and would like to understand my rights in this situation.
Dawn K.
Without seeing the terms in question, this is a general contracts answer: 1. Does the contract itself specify how it can be modified, changed or amended? If so, the contract itself should tell you whether this is okay. 2. If the contract doesn't state how, it can usually be modified, changed or amended, if you both have "mutual" agreement to change any terms, and in writing. 3. If they are trying to change it on their side only, and it is not permitted in the original agreement, this may not be allowed and depending on the terms to be changed, and to what extent, it may be some level of breach. Again, I do not have the contract, but I understand the terms to be changed include scope and payment, which may be enough of a change from the original agreement to potentially create a new one to substitute- with your consent. Hope this helps.

Business Contract
New York
Should I sign a contract if the terms and conditions don't apply to what I am buying?
I am about to sign a contract to rent a venue for my wedding ceremony (not reception). In the terms and conditions they state that I am responsible for paying $10,000 overtime per hour over the contract (which includes venue, staffing ,bar package). However I am having a ceremony only, there is no food or beverage being provided. And the only staff are 2 people to set up the room. Overall it seems the terms and conditions are more for a reception, not just a ceremony. Bottom line, should certain terms and conditions be removed from my contract if they do not apply to my ceremony?
Donya G.
Absolutely. Please do not sign a contract with terms that do not apply to you. Once signed, you would then be bound by those terms and conditions. Go back and ask them to remove the sections that do not apply to you before you sign. If you need additional assistance and wish to hire me to assist you in the review of your agreement or discuss the revisions with the venue, you can contact via Contracts Counsel. All the best.
