Matthew S.
I am a business, Internet, and intellectual property lawyer. My practice is split between both transactional work and litigation. Prior to law school, I earned a master’s degree in computer science, which gives me the background and experience to understand technology, software, and the Internet better than most attorneys, and so my practice focuses on these areas. However, I represent clients in almost any industry, including real estate, construction, medicine, service, and consumer products.

Contracts
Settlement Agreement
California
Can we renegotiate a settlement agreement?
I recently entered into a settlement agreement with the other party in a dispute, but now I believe that the terms of the agreement are no longer fair and equitable. As such, I am looking to renegotiate the agreement. I have attempted to discuss this with the other party, but they have not been receptive to the idea. I am now seeking legal advice to determine if there is any way to renegotiate the agreement and what the best course of action would be.
Joseph M.
If you enter into a binding contract you have to honour the terms unless there was fraud, mistake or misrepresentation as a basis to set aside or renegotiate.
Contracts
General Tenancy Agreement
California
cost to sue tenant for back rent in a commercial property
Commercial tenant stopped making lease & CAM payments for months. The lease has 5+ years remaining on lease. The tenant is personally liable for the lease (no corporation / LLC). We wish to pursue suit, obtain a judgement and then collect the judgement.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to answer questions for you. If a tenant has received proper notice to cure a defect in the rental agreement, or is a holdover tenant, the law requires a CA landlord to go to court for the eviction (called an unlawful detainer). The main steps in an eviction are: The landlord must give notice (e.g., a 3-day notice to pay rent, or a 30-day notice to vacate); If the defect is not “cured,” then the landlord must begin eviction proceedings by filling out form CM-010, form UD-100, form UD-101, and SUM 130 (the summons); After filing (and serving) the document, the court will wait at least 5 days to schedule a hearing. If the tenant files a court form to give their side of the story, the landlord can ask for a trial date. If the tenant does not, the landlord can ask for a default judgment; If there is a trial, a judge will hear both sides. After the judge decides, the judge issues an order the landlord can take to the sheriff to help effectuate the eviction.

Content Creator Agreement
California
Can a content creator agreement be terminated by the platform without prior notice or warning?
I am a content creator who has been using a popular online platform to showcase and monetize my work for the past year. Recently, without any prior notice or warning, the platform terminated my content creator agreement, effectively shutting down my account and removing all my content from the platform. This has caused significant financial loss and distress, as I heavily relied on the platform for income. I would like to know if the platform had the right to terminate my agreement without any notice or warning, and if there are any legal remedies available to me in this situation.
Jonathan W.
Depends on what the content creator agreement with the platform says about termination. It likely has the platform covered. If they didn't follow the terms of the agreement, you might have a claim. The claim may be limited in damages as most of these contracts, if well written, have limitations on damages under the contract.

Business Contract
California
Reviewing a business contract: cost?
I am starting a new business and need to enter into a contract with a supplier. I have been provided with a contract to review, but I am unsure of the associated costs. I am looking for legal advice on the cost of reviewing the contract and whether there are any potential pitfalls or areas of risk that I should be aware of before signing.
Eddy M.
The cost will depend on several factors: - Length of the document - Quality of the contract (if it's poorly drafted then it will require more work to revise) - Complexity of the transaction (the more complex, the more time is needed to understand it and solve problems) - Your leverage vs. the supplier's (if you don't much leverage, then the contract will require a lighter touch as far as revisions) The best course of action is to do an initial consultation with your lawyer of choice to discuss the above. After that, the lawyer will be able to give you a sense of the cost, and make a proposal on either an hourly rate or a flat fee.
Business
Software Agreement
California
Can a SaaS company terminate and agreement with a client?
We are a SaaS company that wants to get out of a relationship with a client. What are our options?
Michael M.
The broad general answer is that all agreements if drafted carefully have a termination provision. Reasons can be for cause or for no cause. This provision like all others in the contract are negotiated by the parties.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
