How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Coaching Agreement in New York

In this situation, both parties agreeing to terminate the contract is best because of your dissatisfaction. The coach's failure to provide adequate advice could be difficult to prove. Conversely, the coach would have to prove they provided adequate services. So, a mutual agreement to terminate the agreement is preferable. You could attempt to negotiate a partial reimbursement.

Hello! I'm so sorry for this situation. Generally, the answer to your question is yes. Why? A breach of contract simply means that one party was obligated to perform and they have either not performed or have said that they will not perform. (Restatement (Second) of Contracts.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. In other words, if you aren't getting the coaching for which you paid, you can pursue one of those remedies. We are more than happy to review the contract for you to verify. Best of luck! Dolan
