Moseley Marcinak Law Group LLP’s Post

When a business is being sued -- by an ex-employee, a competitor, or a partner within the business -- the negotiation process can be nuanced and complex. While Michael Scott did a respectable job negotiating in this scene, I recommend contacting an employment law / business law attorney to negotiate on your behalf during court battles, arbitration, or company buyouts. Sarver Law Firm, PLLC represents small to midsized businesses in employment law (including compliance, litigation, and government investigations) and business law (commercial litigation, business transactions, business formation and contracts), and we know a thing or two about the negotiation process. Contact us for help with your legal matters (see www.sarver-law.com for our contact information). #employmentlawyers #businesslaw #sarverlawfirmpllc #businesslaw

Have you signed up for my monthly Family Law Case Updates Newsletter? Here's a Case Update from the June batch: Mueller v. Mueller 6/3/2024 CA 1/5: A166577 – J. Burns https://lnkd.in/gTFQdZjS   In this case, the Court of Appeal agreed with the trial court’s conclusion that a confidentiality clause contained in the parties’ collaborative law agreement was unenforceable. Accordingly, the trial court affirmed the admission of statements made during their negotiations.   This case was published to “highlight the importance of carefully drafting collaborative law agreements.” The Court of Appeal noted that, unlike mediations, there is no “evidentiary privilege” for collaborative law agreements.   Despite ostensibly including a confidentiality clause, the agreement also contained “sweeping language” that the agreement created no “legally enforceable rights.” If the agreement created no “legally enforceable rights,” but was construed to enforce confidentiality, “it would be a contractual version of Schrödinger’s cat—simultaneously enforceable and unenforceable. The agreement is not reasonably susceptible to that interpretation.” The argument that public policy compels the confidentiality also fell on deaf ears. The Court of Appeal noted that Ling cited no authority that permits the parties to “invoke public policy to make a contract term enforceable when the parties expressly agreed that” the contract is unenforceable. Further, the public policy arguments cut both ways. To give effect to the confidentiality provision was to “create an evidentiary privilege that would bar the admission of highly relevant evidence.” Only the legislature, and not the courts, may create new privileges not constitutionally mandated. https://lnkd.in/g9x5t9eC

Have you signed up for my monthly Family Law Case Updates Newsletter? Here's a Case Update from the July batch: Wastexperts, Inc. v. Arakelian Enterprises, Inc. 7/11/2024 CA 2/4: B325299 – J. Zukin https://lnkd.in/gk_r-MzQ     This case was “published to draw attention to [the opinion’s] concluding note on civility and persuasive brief writing.” I reproduce that brief portion of the opinion below without modification:   Having resolved the merits of the appeal, we cannot allow the tone of the briefing to pass without comment. Appellant’s briefs use inappropriately harsh terms to launch needless and unsubstantiated attacks on the decisions made by the trial judge, as well as against the opposing party and its lawyers. We recognize WasteXperts may not prosecute its appeal without responding to the trial court’s orders. But counsel can dispute the merits of a ruling without calling it “transparently erroneous,” “egregious,” or a “truly perverse miscarriage of justice.” Counsel did no better in proclaiming that “the overreach by the trial court here is nothing short of shocking, effectively blessing Athens’ business threats . . . and immunizing them.” Appellant can certainly challenge the outcome without such unfounded insinuations that the trial judge had become an advocate for the other side.    Appellant targets both respondent and its counsel in the same freewheeling, unprofessional manner. None of these statements were necessary. None of the vitriol advanced the legal arguments in this case. To the contrary, this incivility created an unnecessary distraction to both opposing counsel and this court.   Emotional diatribes do nothing to support the arguments made by counsel. In fact, this verbiage serves the opposite purpose. It requires the court to spend additional resources filtering out the hyperbole, and requires opposing counsel to bill their client for additional time to compose a response.    Ad hominem attacks and other invective detract from counsel’s legal arguments, signal inappropriate personal embroilment in the dispute, and indicate an inability to engage in the reasoned analysis the courts need and counsel’s clients deserve. When counsel resort to name-calling and to unsupported claims of misconduct, they risk obscuring any meritorious arguments they may have. Appellant’s counsel would be well advised to refrain from incivility in the future. https://lnkd.in/g9x5t9eC
