  • Financial Planner or Contract Lawyer?

    –
    May 18, 2023

    Hello, I have an opportunity to join a business partnership (with my employer), but I'd like to receive professional advice on (1) whether it is a sound financial decision and (2) whether the contract has any terms or conditions that I should be concerned about. I am not sure whether I should seek advice from a contract lawyer, an employment lawyer, a financial planner, or some other professional. I would appreciate any advice the BPN community can share about who to consult. Also, if you have specific recommendations for a professional you have used for similar advice, that would be wonderful. Thanks!

    (1) I would consult another practioner in your field who you know and trust, to run through the risks and rewards associated with owning a business in this field. If you don't already have a financial planner, I think you'd spend a lot of time familiarizing them with your overall portfolio and retirement scenario before they could advise you on this particular decision, so you'd be paying a lot. Maybe that's ok, and maybe it's not time-sensitive.

    (2) Yes, a lawyer who specializes in contracts should review this for you for an hourly fee.

Attorney for breach of contract

Jan 2011

I recently experienced a breach of contract whereby I paid money in advance to use a facility to hold classes and half way through the session the owner abruptly breached the contract, forcing me to cancel the classes. I have tried mutual liability contracts which were met with: I'll get back to you and naturally have not heard anything. I'm only asking for the amount of money I paid in advance for the canceled classes. Nothing more or less although there is the potential to file for loss of earnings, medical bills, etc. if such an attorney wishes to do so! Is there an attorney that can help me out without breaking the bank?? I'm located in the Walnut Creek/Lamorinda area. Thanks in advance. tired of playing 'nice guy'
