Q: Please interpret this. Am I liable for the penalty of 25,000 dollars if I terminate the contract?
Section 10 of Contract states that I can terminate it without cause. Section 11 breach has a penalty of 25000 dollars. Employer insisting 25000 dollars penalty when I resign. I think they are wrong.
A: A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over a week. It could be difficult for attorneys here to comment on the terms of your contract. The format is limited to quick Q & A. Any law firm would likely want to see the contract in its entirety. You may lose valuable time awaiting a response on public forums. It might be better to consider reaching out to attorneys to discuss reviewing the contract - that would fall outside this forum. Good luck
