Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

contract renewals

I have been working with an employment agency for a professional employee. I now want to hire this employee directly and they are demanding a large finders fee. I did sign a contract 2+ years ago for a different employee but never for this employee. That contract employee had a much different and lower finders fee. They stated that the contract renewal was automatic. Are contracts that have automatic renewals binding? Is it state by state or Federal? What about between states? I am in NJ and they are in Utah.

Re: contract renewals

It would be absolutely necessary to review the contract. I'd be very careful about trying to obtain general information about contract law via the internet. I'd contact your local county bar association for a referal for a contract litigation attorney. Or you can call me tomorrow at 908.301.9095.

Re: contract renewals

You really need to review the terms of the contract carefully. Specifically, does the contract mention renewals? Does it indicate which State law would apply to any disputes? Does it encompass future or other employees? Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss this further.
