Legal Question in Construction Law in Georgia

Re: construction bid thief?

A few questions. Why is the salesman a "thief" and what was stolen? On what basis do you believe that this salesperson was legally or contractually obligated to deal only through you? Was there a confidentiality agreement protecting this "lead?" You can't really sum up a multi-million dollar deal in two sentences, but maybe you are asking if it is "illegal" for an independent sales person to look for a better deal. The general answer is that it is no more "illegal" than the contractor finding a better deal from another salesperson. Getting beat in a business deal is not "illegal." If you believe there is more to the story, or there are contracats or other duties involved, you need to a see a lawyer given the amount of money that appears to be at issue.

There are too many unknown facts in your situation to enable me to give you a reliable answer. Consult with a local attorney. All the facts need to be reviewed.
