Legal Question in Business Law in California
finders fee
If a party introduces a professional to an employment opportunity and a contract is secured by the professional, is he obligated to pay a finders fee to the party that made the introduction. In this case, the party is not a professional head hunter, nor an agent, there was not any mention of a finders fee expected or that one would be granted on the part of the employer or the professional that was hired. The contract was negotiated entirely between the employer and the professional without imput or advice from the party that made the introduction. There was no contract between the party making the introduction with anyone that was involved in the deal.

Re: finders fee
Doesn't sound as though there would be any obligation here other than a sincere "thank you."
Re: finders fee
Unless there are facts and circumtances you are not mentioning which which would support the reasonable inference of compensation (contracts can be written, oral, and also implied), then, no, any information or help provided you would likely be a gift, with no compensation, commission, or finders fee due.
