If I signed a business services contract but there has been a material change of the original deal, can I cancel?
The business agreed to provide me counsel and consulting services. The major draw to the business, and the primary person I dealt with has now cut ties to the business. The business is still operating and the remaining members say they will continue to provide me counsel, but I paid a premium because of the reputation of the original member I signed up with. Can my obligations/covenents mentioned the contract be discharged? Can I take any legal steps to regain, either in full or in part, the one-time payment I made which I believed would entitle me to the ongoing advice of the original member who has now left?

If you have not yet bought the business service contract that you have written about then you can cancel the contract without recourse due to what you have written about. If you have already paid for the business service contract, then you are obligated under the contract regardless of what has transpired under the laws of all states in this country.
