Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Contracts

Consulting Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 8, 2024

Can a consulting agreement be terminated without cause?

I have recently entered into a consulting agreement with a company to provide my expertise and services on a project basis. However, I have concerns about the termination clause in the agreement, as it states that the company can terminate the agreement at any time, without cause. This worries me because it leaves me vulnerable to sudden termination without any valid reason, potentially resulting in financial loss and damage to my professional reputation. I would like to understand if such a termination clause is legally enforceable and what options I have to protect my interests in this agreement.

Laura H.

Answered Jun 11, 2024

As a general rule, a contract can be terminated without cause if the document says as much. It's a good idea to have your agreement reviewed by a local attorney for more information.

Venue Rental Agreement

Wisconsin

Asked on May 6, 2024

If a new company takes over my wedding venue is my original contract still valid at all?

I originally signed a contract months ago for my wedding venue. The venue was free as long as a $5,000 catering minimum was hit. Now a new company took over the venue and they are charging $3000 to use the venue not including catering and regardless of any food and beverage minimum. Needless to say this is about $3000 more than I was anticipating to spend. Is this legal?

Robert A.

Answered May 7, 2024

I know people hate this answer from attorneys, but it depends on the wording of the contract and the specific facts of the situation. Most contracts will have a clause governing assignment of the contract to a third party. That clause will determine if the terms of the original contract are assignable to the new company operating the venue. If the contract is not assignable, or if the original operator decided not to assign the contract to the new operator, then you will have a new agreement with the new operator. Most contracts will also have a clause governing how the terms of the contract can be changed. If you would like a review of your situation and your contract, you can request a proposal for a review session. I generally do those at a flat fee, based on the length of the contract. I'm sure other attorneys would offer similar rates.

Nondisclosure Agreement

New York

Asked on Mar 30, 2021

Is pricing protected under an NDA?

I am in a negotiation with a vendor and they are trying to get us to sign a mutual NDA because they want to protect their pricing.

Ramsey T.

Answered Mar 30, 2021

The answer depends upon how you define protected or confidential information under your NDA. Even if pricing is included as protected information, often pricing becomes "excluded" from the NDA protection because the "pricing" has been made public to other third parties. You are often better protected by having a pricing methodology and ensuring that such is protected under the NDA.

Stock Subscription Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Apr 13, 2025

Is a stock subscription agreement legally binding if it was not signed by both parties?

I recently entered into a stock subscription agreement with a company, where I agreed to purchase a certain number of shares in exchange for a specific amount of money. However, I just realized that the agreement was only signed by me and not by the company. I am now concerned about the legality and enforceability of the agreement, and I would like to know if it is still binding even though it was not signed by both parties.

Jerome L.

Answered Apr 15, 2025

This is an important concern, and the enforceability of a stock subscription agreement without both parties' signatures depends on several factors, including the intent of the parties, performance under the agreement, and state law governing the contract. 1. Signatures and Enforceability Generally, for a contract to be legally binding, there must be mutual assent—that is, both parties must agree to the terms. While a signature is the most common way to show assent, a written signature by both parties is not always required to create a binding contract. If you signed the agreement and the company later accepted payment, issued shares, or otherwise began performing under the terms of the agreement, that conduct may be enough to demonstrate acceptance and create a binding agreement—even without the company’s signature. 2. Evidence of Mutual Assent Key things to consider: Did the company accept your payment or issue any form of acknowledgment? Have you received confirmation of share allocation, receipts, or account statements? Was there any written or verbal communication confirming the company’s agreement to the terms? These facts may establish that a contractual relationship exists, even if the formal document was not fully executed. 3. Risk Without Signature If the company has not yet taken any action—and there is no other evidence of acceptance—you may be in a more uncertain position. Without both parties’ signatures or performance, a court may view the agreement as incomplete or non-binding. Next Steps: Review all communication and transaction records for evidence of the company’s intent to be bound. If no performance has occurred, you may want to seek confirmation or a countersignature before proceeding further. If needed, a legal review of the agreement and context can help determine whether the contract is enforceable and what remedies may be available if there’s a dispute. I would be happy to assist with reviewing your agreement and advising you on how best to move forward.

Letter of Intent

North Carolina

Asked on Oct 23, 2024

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.

Answered Nov 26, 2024

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.
