Can My Startup Be Sued for Breach of Contract?” π€ | #StartupLitigation #LegalAdvice
Starting your dream venture feels like soaring into the skies π, but turbulence like breach of contract claims can knock on your door unexpectedly. A common question clients ask us:
π‘ Q: Can a startup be sued for breach of contract if the contract wasn’t even in writing?
#StartupContracts #BusinessLitigation #LegalFAQ
The short answer is YES! π Even oral agreements or implied contracts can land your startup in hot water if they fulfill certain legal requirements like mutual consent, offer, acceptance, and consideration. π✨
π When Can an Oral Contract Be Binding?
- Performance Proof: Did you or the other party act based on the terms discussed? Actions can solidify a verbal agreement.
- Jurisdiction Rules: Some laws recognize verbal contracts unless they fall under the Statute of Frauds (e.g., real estate or agreements exceeding a year).
- Intent to Form a Contract: Even informal agreements like emails or chats can be binding. π₯️π±
