A law firm experiences a ransomware attack and sues its MSP and solution provider for negligence. The case has all the elements of an MSP’s nightmare: services promised but not delivered, hackers demanding huge amounts in ransom, and backup files that, it turns out, never existed.  As an MSP owner, should you be concerned about this case?  Might it set new and lower standards for liability for MSPs? Or…not? 
Welcome to the Technology Bradcast.

Your customer terminates your agreement prematurely and without cause.  The payout clause in your agreement requires your customer to pay out the balance of the contract, but your customer's lawyer says it's unenforceable--and maybe it is.  Do you want to avoid the "evil magic" that lawyers use to circumvent payout clauses?

Some MSP's think that they can update their master agreement simply by posting updated terms on a central website. It's so effortless. It's hands-off. It's so...UNENFORCEABLE. If you think you can unilaterally change your MSA and then force your customers to accept the modified MSA simply because your MSA says "that’s the way it is," well, you’re in a very precarious legal position.  Want to know more?  Listen up.
