Venue Clause: Two clients face a logistically superior venue

Written by Dan Gallatin | Aug 17, 2023 2:22:40 PM
As is bound to happen when even a great company does good business, lawsuits arise.  Those are the situations where your prior work on contracts starts paying off.
 
The past two weeks clients have been able to take on litigation in their home counties thanks to venue clauses in their contracts.  The cases are filed and public, but you'll need to go find them on your own!
 
If your office is in Hugo, get Washington County as your mandatory venue.  If your office is in White Bear Lake, get Ramsey County.  If your office is in Lino Lakes, get Anoka County.  If you don't know where you want to be, call me and let's get your documents straightened out so your disputes are on your home turf.
