Business Contract
Florida
How to get out of a business contract?
I want to get out of a contract with our main vendor and have been reading the contract but it doesn't say much. I believe this is in the termination clause based on research, but it doesn't specifically say what I need to do. Any advice?
Donya G.
A contract generally has termination terms; that would be the way to get out. If there are no terms, then the best thing to do is negotiate with the party on an exit strategy that is agreeable to both parties. As a contracts attorney that specializes in contracts and contracts disputes, I would be happy to assist. You can connect with me on the website or through my profile page - Donya Gordon Donya

Real Estate License Agreement
Florida
Can a Real Estate License Agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet certain sales quotas?
Can a Real Estate License Agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet certain sales quotas? I am a real estate agent who recently signed a License Agreement with a brokerage firm that includes a provision stating that if I do not meet a minimum number of sales within a specified time period, my license may be terminated. I am concerned about the potential consequences of not meeting these quotas and would like to know if this provision is legally enforceable.
Randy M.
If you're wondering whether your brokerage can drop you for not hitting your sales numbers, the short answer is yes, as long as that condition is clearly laid out in your written contract. In Florida, contract freedom is taken seriously, especially in independent contractor relationships like the one most real estate agents have with their brokerages. Let’s Talk Legal Groundwork Florida courts have consistently upheld performance-based termination clauses. Since you're probably working as an independent contractor, not an employee, your agreement is governed by standard contract law. Florida Statutes Chapter 475, which oversees real estate licensing, doesn’t block brokerages from setting minimum performance expectations, or from ending agreements when those expectations aren’t met. What matters is how clearly the contract is written, whether it aligns with Florida real estate regulations, and whether it passes the fairness test. If the terms are specific, compliant, and not outrageously one-sided, courts usually won’t interfere. What Makes a Sales Quota Clause Stick The key is clarity. Your agreement should spell out the exact quota, how often you’re expected to meet it, and what happens if you don’t. Something vague like "maintain a reasonable sales volume" is unlikely to hold up. But if the contract says, "you must close 12 transactions every 12 months," that’s enforceable. Your brokerage also has to follow the proper process if they decide to terminate. They need to notify the Florida Real Estate Commission and pay you for any commissions you’ve already earned under your agreement. Once a commission is earned (usually when you’ve procured a ready, willing, and able buyer on the agreed terms) it can’t be taken away simply because your affiliation ends. Florida courts have consistently upheld this principle. See Shuler v. Allen, 76 So. 2d 879 (Fla. 1955). Courts won’t usually step in unless the quota provision is so one-sided that it becomes legally “unconscionable,” which is a pretty high bar. Even a tough market isn’t enough to meet that standard if you signed off on specific numbers. What Happens If You're Terminated for Not Meeting Quotas? First, your license itself stays intact. Getting terminated doesn’t cancel your real estate license with the state. It just means you can’t practice until you link up with a new brokerage. You’ll need to affiliate with a new broker if you want to keep working in the field. You should still be paid for any commissions you earned before the termination. But don’t assume you’re entitled to commissions from deals that close after you’re let go. Unless your contract specifically says you are, you won’t be. How to Protect Yourself Check if your contract includes a cure period. Many agreements give you a window—say, 60 days—to turn things around after you’ve been notified of a performance issue. That’s your chance to meet the quota and avoid termination. It’s also a good idea to document your sales efforts and keep a record of market conditions. If your brokerage works across different markets and applies quotas the same way everywhere, regardless of local trends, you might have grounds to negotiate fairer terms. If you’re new to the field, try negotiating for lower quotas during your first year. Many brokerages are open to this, knowing that new agents need time to build momentum. When You Should Talk to an Attorney If your quota seems unrealistically high for your market, or if the termination process seems off, it’s worth getting legal advice. The same goes if your brokerage tries to withhold commissions you’ve already earned or hits you with penalties that aren’t spelled out in your contract. A Florida real estate attorney can go over your agreement with you and let you know where you stand. Even if a quota clause is enforceable, that doesn’t mean you have zero negotiating power. If you’ve been a solid producer but are going through a rough patch, many brokerages would rather work with you than lose you.

Consulting Agreement
Florida
How to terminate a consulting agreement?
I recently entered into a consulting agreement with a client. After a few months, I have realized that the terms of the agreement are not beneficial to me and I would like to terminate it. I would like to know what legal steps I need to take in order to terminate the agreement and what potential repercussions I may face.
Diane D.
That's why you should read the agreement before you sign it and bring it to an attorney to review. Termination conditions of the contract should be in the contract. You have to follow those. If you don't like them, you can ask the other party if you can change them or if you can break the contract. If they don't agree, you're stuck and will be in breach if you try to cancel it. You can cancel it if the other party breaches it, but you have to have a valid reason or the courts will not grant it and you will end up with major legal bills.

Employee Separation Agreement
Florida
Employee separation agreement and unemployment benefits?
I recently resigned from my job and my employer is asking me to sign a separation agreement. I am concerned that if I sign this agreement, I may not be able to collect unemployment benefits. I need to know if signing this agreement will affect my ability to receive unemployment benefits.
Diane D.
The only way to answer your question is to have an attorney review the agreement. Not sure why it would stop you from collecting unemployment benefits, but, again, without seeing the agreement, there is no way to answer this question.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
