Can an engineering services contract be terminated by the client without cause? I recently signed an engineering services contract with a client to provide design and consulting services for a construction project. However, the client has expressed dissatisfaction with the progress and has hinted at terminating the contract even though I have fulfilled all contractual obligations thus far. I want to know if the client has the right to terminate the contract without cause and what my rights and options are in such a situation.

Whether an engineering services contract may be terminated by a client without cause depends on the terms and conditions of the contract. Typically, engineering services contract will include a "Termination Clause" which may allow the client to terminate the contract for convenience (often found in contracts with government entities) or terminate the contract for cause. In the latter case, the agreement should identify the events or defaults allowing for termination after the client gives notice of a default and an opportunity for cure. Consultation with a qualified lawyer who can review the specific contract and circumstances is recommended to determine if termination was appropriate and whether there are remedies available if the termination was made without cause.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

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.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
