Hello, We are a manufacturing company who signed a Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement with a client approximately 2 1/2 years ago. It has recently come to my attention that they have procured product from another company which directly violates the agreement. After numerous attempts of contacting them to rectify the situation, they have decided to fall silent and not respond. They were a start-up company which began on the east coast and now is nation wide and is now moving across the boarder. They have become the leader in their industry and are known world wide. Due to the lack of engagement with this company and their irresponsible business ethics, I would like to potentially pursue litigation. There are two issues at hand, however. One is the lawyer fees. We are a small business and do not have deep (or even shallow) pockets to pay a firm upfront or during the litigation process. So the first question I have is does your firm work on a contingency basis? I understand that this might be a case-by-case basis. Second is I fear that our “previous” client has superior representation. The current companies CEO was the CEO of a major company in New York and has connections to the elite. He is definitely in the wrong however I not completely positive that our agreement is “Iron clad”. It was written by our attorney in the beginning stages of this process. He had said that it was rather one sided (towards us) and that he was expecting revisions. None were made, therefore I feel that we have them dead to right. Anyway, my concern at this point is is you would take a case on a contingency basis. Since the company has become nationwide and is the leader of the industry, I feel that this would be a rather substantial lawsuit. In addition, they are grossly delinquent in past due invoices to the tune of almost $55K. If this is something your firm is willing to pursue, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
