My question is, if a former client from her company reaches out to me on thumbtack (which then I am charged... View More

It is not a good idea to work with this client. You don't indicate whether the client was someone that you worked with (taught) in the past for her. However, a non-compete means you cannot solicit or work with her clients while employed by or while you have an independent contractor agreement... View More

They have 3 home basketball games the very same week. They do not ask anyone to sign contracts to the sporting events. How would they be able to prove that someone contracted Covid from the dance or another mass gathering they held that week? I don’t see how their contract has any legal merit.

The school has no obligation to allow students into the dance without first obtaining a release relating to Covid. Since they are hosting a gathering, no doubt their attorneys recommended releases to be signed as a condition of attendance. However, as much as some school officials may want to, the... View More
