Re: Foreign Lawsuit

As to the second question the answer is probably not, especially in the absence of an employment agreement, although you might be able to protect against the disclosure of confidential business information.

As to the first question, is there a written commission agreement? If so, is there a clause relating to jurisdiction and venue?

However, these questions are really too complicated to be answered in this fashion. You really need to consult an attorney and have him or her review the entire situation, including all the written documents and correspondence.

Re: Foreign Lawsuit

Check the agreement to see if there is a choice of forum/venue clause. Moreover, if the Taiwanese company had enough "contact" (e.g., doing business, etc.) with NY/US, then they are likely subject to our courts jurisdiction. I suggest you contact an attorney for a detailed consultation. Jurisdiction is only step 1. Locating the assets is another issue down the line. Please feel free to contact our office.
