Your client is a corporation, Pros, who is working with another corporation, Cons, to build an office building downtown. Cons has started to force Pros to use their subcontractors, none of whom speak English and all of whom appear to be under the age of fifteen. Cons has required Pros to include the hire of their subcontractors, and they plan to enforce this contract in court. Which legal issue is raised above?

The requirement to hire subcontractors who appear to be under fifteen raises the issue of illegality, because employing children that young may violate child-labor laws. A court generally will not enforce a contract term that requires illegal conduct. The pressure Cons is putting on Pros could seem coercive, but the key legal issue described is the potentially unlawful employment.
