Legal Question in Business Law in Maine

As a Franchise Attorney I can only say a lot more information is needed to answer your attorney question. Please repost and specify the terms of the agreement as well as why you think the other party did not uphold the agreement. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.

Maybe. But hopefully not. In concept, a written contract is not required to establish a legally enforceable relationship. The course of the dealings between the parties, the understanding by each party of the reliance the other places on the relationship and other factors all can make a difference. It is also possible for letters, emails, work orders and the like to establish a contractual relationship.

However, these possible legal theories are unique to each situation and may not apply in your case. More factual information would need to be obtained. You can contact me further via email and my website if you'd like to dig deeper into the facts. www.atrlaw.pro
