Types of Business Law: Part 2

As you will recall from Week 3, you are playing the role of
a junior legal assistant for the legal department of XYZ Corporation. The
organization has recently undertaken a number of efforts to increase its
presence in the local community and is promoting corporate social
responsibility and positive social change initiatives.
To support these positive social change initiatives and
efforts at ensuring compliance among XYZ Corporation’s employees, Kate
Braverman, Chief Counsel of the Legal Department, leads the company-wide
Business Law and Compliance Fair to showcase some upcoming policy changes and
hold Q&A sessions for all staff members.
Because you have been asked to assist with the Q&A, this
week, you will continue your work of gathering information to present to staff
members. This week, you will focus on contracts.
Part 2: Contract Research Report
Sue is a graphic designer at XYZ Corporation, and she also
runs her own business as a photographer. She says:
“Sorry, this is more personal, but I hope you can give me
some advice. I just entered a contract to photograph the full line of a pottery
company, a job that will involve nearly 1,000 photographs. The contract
promises excellent pay, with a specific dollar amount stated in the contract,
but unfortunately, I neglected to include any payment terms. Can you help
investigate this for me?”
Submit a Contract Research Report that addresses
the following prompt.
Kate
approves the request and asks you to help Sue. You will need to research
the dangers that Sue might face by not spelling out the terms of payment
within her contract. Provide her with a research report on these dangers
and recommendations for how to correct this situation, if it is possible.
