Business Law Services

Establishing a new business, managing an existing one, or turning around a business that is in trouble all require effective assistance.  Working closely with business accountants, Corporate Counsel or General Counsel requires the ability to navigate the maze of laws and regulations, assist the business owners and managers in negotiating contracts, and provide prompt and solid guidance as issues arise.

If a business runs into serious difficulty, then competent and steadfast legal assistance in managing creditors and renegotiating debt may make the difference between success and bankruptcy.

Sorel guides Plaintiff to win oral contract case: Jury finds oral contract breached by Insomniac Design, Inc.

Representing District Design Group, LLC, Christiane E. Sorel successfully tried the case against Insomniac Design, Inc. for breach of oral contract. The jury rendered its verdict affirming the existence of an oral contract between the parties. Getting a jury to uphold an oral contract in the District of Columbia is challenging enough; proving breach of that contract is rare indeed. Fierce competition among Independent Information and Communication Technology (ITC) results in subcontractors all too often starting work on “rush” jobs without proper documentation.   Unscrupulous clients and/or prime contractors (“primes”) are poised to take advantage, believing that the legal system protects them from strict enforcement of oral contracts. No longer.
