Civil Lawyer New York Full Payment Contract Dispute Granted

The client company was engaged under a written marketing services agreement to manage digital advertising campaigns, branded content production, and official online channel operations for the distributor’s flagship product lines.

Under the agreement, the agency was responsible for monthly ad placement planning, performance monitoring, content creation, and campaign optimization across multiple online platforms.

The contract expressly defined deliverables as “best efforts marketing services” rather than guaranteed sales or revenue outcomes, consistent with New York contract interpretation standards.

Without formal contract amendments, the distributor repeatedly requested additional deliverables, frequent campaign redirections, and expanded operational support.

When the agency raised concerns regarding scope expansion, the distributor responded by referencing early termination and payment delays as leverage.

At the conclusion of the contract term, the distributor refused to release a portion of the final service fees, asserting that advertising performance did not meet internal expectations.

The attorney analyzed the agreement pursuant to New York General Obligations Law and established case precedent holding that marketing service contracts impose duties of reasonable effort, not guaranteed outcomes.

Advertising logs, impression data, click through records, content delivery schedules, and monthly performance reports were compiled to demonstrate full contractual compliance.

An independent financial consultant was also engaged to verify that invoiced amounts matched the payment structure set forth in the agreement.

The court found that the marketing agency fully performed its contractual obligations and that the distributor failed to establish a legally valid basis for withholding payment.

Accordingly, the court entered judgment in favor of the agency for the full amount of unpaid service fees, along with statutory interest as permitted under New York CPLR provisions.

Through the civil lawyer New York’s structured litigation strategy, the client successfully enforced its contractual rights and closed the dispute without further business disruption.
