Legal Question in Business Law in Wisconsin

I made a contract with a company that clearly says "the term of this agreement shall be for a period of (1) year periods on the anniversity date of this agreement" and " this agreemnet may be terminated or cancelled at any time with a minimum of thirty (30) days written notice from either party," yet they want t o terminate with just a verbal notice and expect us to stop working as soon as possible. Is there some legal matter that we can do about this?

These kinds of cases are highly fact dependent so you should consult an attorney for a review of your contract and the likely consequences of various actions. After this review, he or she may decide to give them notice (in the manner called for in your contract; preferably by registered mail, with a return receipt) that their termination is not effective and you are holding them to the terms of the written contract, pending a valid termination. From what you've said, it doesn't sound like they have properly terminated the contract, so it would remain in force. Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
