Business Law – Making a Contract online

It is well established offline how a contract should be formed based on case law through the years and how a contract is concluded.

Employment Obligations Not Written in your Contract 

Most Virginians are unaware that they have certain legal obligations to their employer regardless of whether they have an employment contract. These duties are defined and created either by Virginia Code, or the common law. This means they are written into law, or over time, the courts have recognized these duties as part of Virginia’s legal system.

            I understand that employees are rarely given lists or explanations of these duties. In fact, many Virginia employees are not aware that they may be held accountable for certain actions taken while an employee or shortly thereafter. They are surprised to learn they do not have the right to start their own business, compete, etc.
