Q: Can I sue a BVI company for breach of contract if I'm in the USA?
A CEO of a BVI company made many false promises to me including wages, time of agreed contract, and workload. I did far more work than job description and agreement and was paid less than agreement. I also pitched their project which I created the entire pitch, to earn them additional income.
When I wrote an extensive email asking for better internal communication, organization, a less stressful working environment as I had and have health issues that they knew about, how I went above my job description and to be compensated our agreement I was let go without just cause.
I'm located in Los Angeles, they paid in crypto. CEO is located in Paris, France and their company is in British Virgin Islands.
Can I submit them an invoice for the total contract agreement or take legal action for all the issues this caused?
A:
You may have a claim for breach of contract against this British Virgin Island company. It would probably have to be brought in federal court, and before any such lawsuit could commence, an attorney would have to review your contract to determine if there is an enforceable choice of law and venue provision will dictate those issues.
First step is to find the attorney who can assist you.
Good luck to you.
