Rocco D.
I'm in general practice with an emphasis on real estate, litigation, and contracts
Michelle T.
I am an experienced, well-rounded attorney with a background specializing in trusts and estates, contracts and business law. I have extensive experience working with simple contracts all the way up to multi-million dollar deals.
"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

Randy M.
Hi, I'm Randy, and I've been practicing law for over 30 years with a genuine passion for contracts and legal drafting. I spent nearly 15 years running my own solo practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I built a thriving firm helping everyone from small business owners to entertainment professionals navigate their legal needs. Those years taught me that great contracts aren't just about covering all the bases legally - they're about understanding what my clients actually need and translating that into clear, enforceable agreements. My sweet spot is contract drafting across a wide range of areas. I've written hundreds of LLC operating agreements (both single and multi-member), prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, residential and commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, consulting agreements, and corporate formation documents. I also have extensive experience in estate planning documents - wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills - plus employment agreements and entertainment law contracts. These days I'm based in New York City, but I work with clients nationwide on contract matters. What I love most about this work is taking complex business relationships and turning them into documents that actually make sense and protect everyone involved. Whether you're a startup founder needing your first operating agreement or an established business updating your contractor templates, I focus on creating contracts that work in the real world, not just on paper. After three decades of practice, I still get excited about a well-crafted contract. Let's talk about how I can help with yours.
"Randy was great and even though I didn't prepare things 100%, we went with it and didn't change the bid price. He was patient and understanding brought up a lot of issues I didn't notice. Very good work! I would work with him again in a minute!"

Operating Agreement
New York
Do S-Corps have operating agreements?
I am starting an S-Corp since my accountant said it was a better tax structure. Do I need the same documents as an LLC (i.e. Operating Agreement).
Jane C.
S Corporations are not legally required to have operating agreements. They have bylaws that govern their operations. Disclaimer - This information is provided for general informational purposes only.

Stock Purchase Agreement
New York
Stock purchase agreement and post-closing obligations?
I am looking to purchase a business and I recently received a Stock Purchase Agreement from the seller. I am concerned about my post-closing obligations, such as continuing to fund the business or other contractual obligations, and would like to understand what these obligations are before I commit to the purchase. I would like to know what I should be aware of and what risks I may face if I accept the agreement.
Daniel R.
I would focus on: What obligations do you have under the reps and warranties? Is there an escrow holdback? Is there any liabilities staying with you.
Corporate
Letter of Intent
Texas
Can a buyer back out of a purchase agreement?
I am trying to sell my company and the buyer has gone silent. We have top terms agreed to and a LOI signed, but we have not put a purchase agreement in place yet. Can they legally back out if we have a LOI signed?
Michael S.
With the caveat that I am a Pennsylvania and not Texas attorney, most LOI's are non-binding, unless the LOI itself provides otherwise. A lawyer would need to review the LOI to determine whether the deal can be enforced. Mostly likely, however, it cannot be enforced.

Legal Due Diligence Checklist
New York
What is the importance of legal due diligence in the process of acquiring a business?
I am currently in the process of acquiring a small business and I have been advised by my financial advisor to conduct legal due diligence before finalizing the deal. I understand that legal due diligence involves reviewing the legal aspects of the target company, such as contracts, licenses, litigation history, and compliance with laws and regulations. However, I am unsure about the specific benefits and importance of conducting legal due diligence in this situation. I want to know how this process can help me identify potential risks, liabilities, and legal issues associated with the target company, and how it can protect me from future legal complications or financial losses.
Arthur S.
Business acquisition agreements are often entered into subject and conditioned upon t he right of the Buyer to conduct a due diligence review during an agreed upon time frame ...with the obligation of the Buyer entity to finalize the deal very much contingent upon the findings of any such due diligence review. In short, the due diligence review provides the Buyer with a comfort level that the asset it is buying is what it has bargained for. A due diligence review involves a review, without limitation, of the Selling company's books and records, existing loan/debt obligations, an inventory review, a review of independent contractor/materialmen agreements, property leases and title and judgement research. Signing a purchase contract with an appropriate due diligence provision also enables the Buyer to "tie-up" asset for the agreed price during the due diligence period..
Corporate
Partnership Agreement
Tennessee
What is a limited partnership agreement?
Being asked to sign one and not sure what it is. I'm trying to create a partnership with a few of my colleagues and I'm concerned about the word 'limited'.
Michael S.
We really need to know more about the business and how everyone envisions ownership in order to answer the question. In general (and this is very general - I am a PA lawyer, not Tennessee), a limited partnership is an entity through which a business or property is owned. In a limited partnership, you need to have a general partner (either one more individuals or entities) who essentially manage the entity, and also have liability for all liabilities of the general partnership. The limited partners invest in the entity, but have no liability for the entity's obligations.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
