Q. Options to sue for breach of contract in Florida for undelivered online business results

March 5, 2025

A: If the company is a Florida LLC and there is no dispute resolution clause or forum selection clause, then you may sue in Florida County Court (over $8k but under $50k in damages). I have represented clients in similar situations and the Defendant is often a "fly by night" coaching course that may not be collectible. Evaluating the collectability of the entity will be key before deciding to file suit.

Q. Should I seek an employment or business lawyer for direct contract issues?

March 3, 2025

A: From my understanding of your explanation of the facts, this appears to be primarily a business dispute based on a breach of contract. There could potentially be some employment issues intertwined. I would recommend starting off by consulting with a business attorney that litigates these sort of disputes.

Q. Purchase Agreement Lacks Execution Date: Force Execution or Seek Release of Contract with Pending Permit?

February 27, 2025

A: The law generally provides that if a contract does not have a time frame, it is considered an "at will contract." Thus, you may be able to terminate the contract, however, we would have to review the terms of the contract to verify that is an option. Ultimately, the parties should likely execute a mutual release if the intention is to terminate the contract.
