Corporate Attorney New York City Contract Recovery

The client was the principal of a logistics management company providing outsourced fulfillment and inventory services to e commerce operators.

Under a written services agreement, the client’s company was responsible for end to end logistics operations, including inbound inventory handling, quality inspection, packaging, outbound shipping, and ongoing inventory control.

The counterparty, an online retail business, relied on a shared logistics management system to monitor transaction volumes and operational status in real time.

The agreement provided for monthly settlement based on processed order volume, with final reconciliation required upon contract expiration.

The corporate attorney identified clear provisions establishing that all services rendered prior to termination remained compensable regardless of subsequent disputes.

Under New York law, properly performed contractual obligations create an enforceable right to payment even after contract termination or expiration.

Working with internal data specialists, the legal team compiled shipment logs, inventory records, and monthly processing reports stored within the logistics management platform.

These records demonstrated uninterrupted performance throughout the contract term and confirmed that all disputed charges corresponded to completed services.

The corporate attorney New York City presented this evidence in a chronological format linking each service phase to the agreed settlement metrics.

The court found that the logistics provider had fully performed its contractual duties and that the settlement amount was calculable under the agreed framework.

Accordingly, the court ordered the defendant to pay the full outstanding settlement balance without reduction.

This outcome confirms that under New York commercial law, unilateral refusal to settle does not defeat a properly documented contractual payment claim.
