- Q. Is my service contract I entered into enforceable or is it null and void
- A: Greetings. It appears you would like to know if a contract between a NY company and an out of state company that is unregistered to do business in NY is enforceable. Generally speaking, a contract between two interstate parties is enforceable, notwithstanding registration. A state's licensing or registration requirements for out of state parties are often only to ensure jurisdiction or for some other regulatory reason that does not impact enforceability. If on the other hand a state's licensing or registration requirements are for the specific purpose of protecting in-state parties for a particular reason that goes to enforceability, then of course the contract with an unlicensed or unregistered party would not be enforceable. An attorney would look into the regulatory reasons behind a requirement before providing guidance to a potential client.
- Q. Can you purchase shares of a private Company on the Secondary Market but NOT disclose the purchase to the Company?
- A: Greetings. It appears you would like to purchase shares of a non-public company. A purchaser who meets the SEC definition of a qualified purchaser may buy shares of a non-public company. Often brokers are required to facilitate the purchase. Due diligence is also required. During the due diligence process, certain information would be reviewed, such as stock sale restrictions or protections. These may include a "right of first refusal" giving the non-public company the right to first purchase the stock before the investing purchaser. If such restrictions do not exist, then the purchaser is free to buy the shares. All purchasers should want their purchases recorded with the company to ensure their shareholder rights. Please contact a good New York lawyer for further information.
- Q. Did a job with the client had a contract and a client tried to turn around and ask for some of their money back
- A: Greetings. It appears that you are experiencing a dispute over your contract. Where a party is to perform by a date certain, the failure to meet that deadline is not a material breach of the contract, as contract performance is measured by reasonable performance. However, if the date certain is made essential, such as through a "time is of the essence" clause, then it is a material breach and the breaching party is liable for contract damages, which consist of expectation, reliance, or restitutionary damages. Note, however, contract damages cannot include damages that were not within the contemplation of the parties. Time spent by one party (who supposedly had to take time off from work because of a claimed lack of performance by the other party) was likely not within the contemplation of the parties and is thus likely not compensable. Please contact a good New York lawyer for further information. Good luck.
