Background/Facts: Determining jurisdiction in the courts can be confusing and complicated, but it is an important legal doctrine that businesses cannot ignore. Jurisdiction can affect business operations and determine business decisions, such as where the business is located and where and how to advertise and market the business. Where there are questions about possible jurisdiction in the courts, businesses should consult an attorney.
TLG’s client, Clean, is facing other litigation and needs advice.
Clean is located in Maryland, but it advertises aggressively in all Mid-Atlantic States of Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia via the internet, social media, television, and mailings.
Recently Clean contracted with ABC Corporation (ABC), incorporated in Virginia, to clean ABC’s offices in Richmond, Virginia. ABC paid for the cleaning, but later was dissatisfied with the service and sued Clean in Virginia to recover the costs of the cleaning. The Virginia state court ruled that it had personal jurisdiction to hear the case.
