Cooperation clause samples

On July 5, 2013, the Company entered into a fee agreement with Dentons US LLP (“Dentons”), our previous legal counsel, which called for a payment of 50% of any settlement up to $6 million and 5% thereafter.The Company realized a gross $7,000,000 on the settlement of the matter that Dentons represented the Company on. The agreement also called for Dentons to cooperate with the Company by making its partners and/or employees available to furnish information or reasonable assistance in connection with any future disqualification proceedings, as reasonably requested by the Company. Subsequent to signing the agreement the Company determined that Dentons had egregiously breached this cooperation clause.As a result, the Company has suffered significant harm.The Company further believes that due to Dentons breach of its contract with the Company, Dentons is not owed any amount under the breached agreement and the Company is also considering its legal remedies in regard to the harm it has suffered.
