a typical contract case
00:06
i can think of involves a client i
00:08
represent
00:09
who had built up a pharmacy practice and
00:12
she’d done a very good job and made it a
00:14
very
00:16
solid business but she wanted to do
00:18
other things so she marketed the
00:19
business for sale found the business
00:21
broker
00:22
and then found a buyer and so the buyer
00:25
was very interested in the business
00:27
like the asking price agreed to pay it
00:30
but couldn’t pay all of it so
00:32
the buyer paid half of it at closing
00:34
with the promise to pay the other half
00:36
in a year the buyer didn’t have that
00:39
much experience in the pharmacy business
00:41
thought they could learn it
00:43
or thought they could hire somebody to
00:44
help them get to where they needed to be
00:46
well unfortunately the latter did not
00:48
happen uh the business was suffering
00:52
when it came time to pay the second
00:54
payment
00:55
to close the deal finally uh the the
00:58
buyer could not make it so my client uh
01:01
came to me
01:02
and and wanted to know what her options
01:04
were and began with
01:06
uh getting the the relevant documents
01:08
and my client was very good and having
01:11
very organized records to reflect and
01:14
lay out the transaction
01:16
to show the obligations of the parties
01:18
and how the buyer had
01:19
failed to perform and so we took those
01:22
presented a
01:23
a pre-suit settlement offered to the uh
01:26
to the buyer to try to resolve the case
01:28
without litigation at all
01:30
uh the buyer did not respond we filed
01:33
suit prosecuted the claim
01:35
and uh the case is pending now but i am
01:38
i am confident that the buyer will
01:40
receive the balance
01:42
an award for the balance owed on the the
01:45
uh
01:45
the deal and uh an award for her
01:48
attorney’s fees as well
