This doesn't sound like a product liability law question (the category chosen, which is more about injuries from dangerous products). You are probably not asking about non-legal aspects of taking photos when you mention taking photos "as the photographer" (as in technical attributes... View More

I don't understand how a successor in interest (usually a purchaser) can go back in time and state that a lifetime license purchased from the original owner is invalid. I would start with that.

If you are in court for bak arrears with a commercial space, is the landlord entitled to keep your security deposit and still have you pay the rent after you have given the space back?

Do I still have rights to my mother’s company and profits?

I got a lawyer and paid off the full amount. I also took my son off the account. I still wish to do business with that bank because I have multiple building and business in that bank. How would this affect my business and my bank relationship. What are my next steps and what will happen?
answered on Dec 2, 2023
I'm not understanding what amount had to be paid off and why. If everything is now straightened out, what would be the issue of continuing with the bank?

The automation company made high claims to return profits to me by adding products to my store. They have only surmounted losses, big losses. They've also never given me a statement of earnings losses etc. this whole year when I asked. Everything this past year has been so blurred. Now... View More

recently a hospital has taken its IT staff and changed them to another organization. One team had to train staff in another country and once this was done, they were terminated once the training was completed and then on their terminations, it listed the reason as downsizing instead of outsourcing.

It is next to impossible to identify or suggest anything based on the very sparse info you shared. Generally, the contract, verbal or (even much better) written control. Where there is no contract, state rules or even federal rules govern. You should speak to a lawyer.

Yes, you can. Your first option is to serve them a Time of the Essence ("TOE") notice, which gives them the 30 days to close. Your next option, is to sue them for specific performance which would force them to close per the terms of the contract.
