Is there any legal way to overcome a Statute of Limitations defense? have several contracts, from years ago, signed by the President and CEO of a major internationally recognized company. I have several contracts, from years ago, signed by the President and CEO of a major internationally recognized company. At least one, in particular, has signed agreements with me personally. If it were to be enforced (only the Statute of Limitations could create a problem) it would alone be worth over $100,000,000.00 a year

The statute of limitations, like every other defense, has limitations based on the conduct of the parties. You don't provide any factual information from which those limitations might be understood and discussed. Also, the terms and duration of the statute of limitations, including any ability to work around it, depend on the law governing the transaction, which you do not provide. These kinds of matters are only very rarely undertaken by an attorney on a contingent-fee basis, and you do not provide any facts from which an attorney could conclude that he would be making a wise choice by doing so. Finally, you do not explain the reason for your inaction during these years or that of your contracting counterparty. Courts are often concerned with these facts, since one of the purposes of the statute of limitations is to put to rest old claims. Perhaps it would be a good idea for you to visit a local attorney and bring your documents. That would permit an appraisal of your claims and the defenses available to them. This is not the proper forum for such a discussion.
