OT-A Lot Of Smart People Post Here- Any Attorneys Or Retired Ones- I Have A General Legal Question

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The answer is non-binding. I already have two opinions from friends who are attorneys . I'm looking for a tie-breaker.


To a layman that this question can even arise is astounding.

I own a small buiness that is incorporated. It's so small that the only employee is me. I have been entering into contracts for over a decade. Instead of putting the Inc. after my corporation as in Sticky Widgets, Inc. I just refer to it as Sticky Widgets. This has never been an issue because I have never been in a contractual dispute.

Now I have an contract I might have to enforce. One attorney-friend said that the other party can get out of the contract because I forgot to put Inc after the name of my corporation and in the eyes of the law my business doesn't exist because I didn't put Inc. in therefore nullifying the contract. My other attorney- friend strenuously disagrees. He says there is not a court that is going going to nullify a contract over a minor omission like that.

I like the second opinion better.

Thank you in advance.
