Modern Issues in Virginia Contract Law

1h 31m

Created on October 31, 2016

Intermediate

Overview

Business litigation almost always involves a contract dispute component. As the economy evolves, so do the issues involved in contract litigation. This course will review some hot topics in Virginia contract law, such as when a defendant may be held liable for failing to be a team player, when restrictive covenants are enforceable, and whether clients’ disclosure of material to their attorney violates confidentiality agreements.

Join Jesse R. Binnall for a discussion of these issues. Mr. Binnall is a partner at Harvey & Binnall, PLLC, an Alexandria, Virginia based litigation law firm. He litigates business disputes and white collar criminal cases throughout the country, and often appears in Virginia’s fact-paced courts like the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Rocket Docket”) and Fairfax Circuit Court.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Determine when teaming agreements, common in the government contracting space, are enforceable
  2. Identify what factors are most likely to invalidate a restrictive covenant, like covenants not to compete
  3. Analyze if an employee can be held liable for breaching a confidentiality agreement by sharing information with his or her lawyer
  4. Assess when the statute of limitations begins to accrue in a services contract
