Breach Of Contract

Thomas Mihill routinely handles complex cases involving contract disputes. Partnership differences arise, vendors may not honor their agreements, and contractors sometimes leave their customers high and dry.

Litigation costs, collectability and a number of other factors need to be considered before moving forward with your claims. Mr. Mihill takes the time to help you examine your situation and also explore alternative dispute resolution tactics before jumping into costly litigation.

Sales/Commission-Based Contract Disputes

It is no secret that most sales representatives and executives depend greatly on commissions, bonuses and other incentive-based pay. The language in contracts governing the relationships between sales employees and their employers is often complex. It may also be highly business-specific and steeped in terminology that is subject to interpretation.


Clear Strengths In Employment Contract Analysis And Litigation

Thomas Mihill reviews and analyzes contracts every day. He brings together a powerful combination of employment law knowledge and strength in litigation. Whether you are a professional who believes you are being denied proper compensation or an employer facing a complaint that could lead to a costly lawsuit, he can offer balanced, highly informed counsel.


Get To The Heart Of Disputes Between Employers And Sales Professionals

In addition to a versatile business lawyers' experience on both sides of such matters, Mihill's practical approach to commission disputes and other employer-employee conflicts can be a key asset for you. Essentially, the question at the center of any disagreement over compensation is: has the employer paid the correct amount as defined within the contract? Components of that issue may involve:

  • Exploring and defining what commissions or other incentive payments are based on — such as gross sales, net sales or other factors
  • Assessing the accounting practices being used to calculate this form of compensation
  • Gaining a thorough understanding of the facts of the case, as when an employee who has been terminated believes he or she should promptly receive earned but unpaid sales commissions

If you must confront a problem involving alleged withholding of commissions or any other employment contract issue, please contact Thomas Mihill. He will prioritize your case, provide clear guidance and assertively seek fair resolution through a path best suited for your needs.
