liability
My family owned a business for many
years, then sold it to a large
corporation. My cousin worked for the
business and recently left it and
started on his own, with the same
name. The business has now
contacted me and wishes to employ
me as a consultant, to put me in ads,
etc. to drum back business. Am I
opening myself up to any legal
problems from cousin? Should I ask
for indemnification?

Indemnification Agreement
I negotiated a settlement with my business partner and left a business 18 months ago. But, the landlord would not release me from my personal obligation on the property rental lease for the business. My partner personally indemnified me from any debts or obligations of the business including this lease. After several months, the landlord contacted me and we I negotiated a sum of $19,000 to remove me from the original lease and any furture obligations to him. What can I do to recover this money from my ex-business partner who is in breach of the rental lease and failed to follow the indemnification contract?
