Cofounder Agreement
New York
What are the key elements that should be included in a cofounder agreement?
I am in the process of starting a new business venture with two other individuals, and we are currently in the early stages of forming our cofounder agreement. We want to ensure that our agreement covers all the necessary aspects to protect our interests and clarify our rights and responsibilities. We have already discussed equity distribution, roles and responsibilities, and decision-making processes, but we are curious to know if there are any other key elements that should be included in our cofounder agreement to ensure a smooth and successful partnership in the long run.
Damien B.
Hello! I am a New York Attorney with a law office in Long Island City. Thank you for answer your question. A comprehensive co-founder agreement is crucial for establishing a solid foundation for your new business venture. Since you've already covered equity distribution, roles, and decision-making processes, you're on the right track. Here are key additional elements to include ensuring all parties are protected and potential challenges are addressed: 1. Contributions and Commitments: Clearly define the initial contributions and ongoing commitments of each co-founder. 2. Vesting Schedule: Implement an equity vesting schedule to secure long-term commitment. 3. Ownership of Intellectual Property: Specify that all developed intellectual property belongs to the company. 4. Salaries and Compensation: Decide on founders' compensation arrangements. 5. Dispute Resolution: Establish a process for resolving conflicts efficiently. 6. Founder Exit and Buyout Clauses: Define procedures for different exit scenarios. 7. Decision-Making Authority: Clarify decision-making protocols. 8. Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses: Protect the business from competing actions. 9. Confidentiality Agreement: Enforce confidentiality of sensitive information. 10. Dissolution of the Business: Outline steps for winding down the company. 11. Amendments to the Agreement: Specify how the agreement can be updated. 12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Determine the governing laws in case of disputes. Consider involving a lawyer to review the agreement for legal compliance. These elements will provide a clear roadmap to navigate conflicts and ensure a successful partnership. Does this address all your concerns? Feel free to seek clarification on any specific section! There should be a button on your page that allows you to request a proposal from me specifically for the legal service you request. Best regards, Attorney Damien B.

Settlement Agreement
Florida
Are settlement agreements common in business?
I am a small business owner considering entering into a business partnership with another individual. We have discussed the possibility of a settlement agreement to define our respective rights and responsibilities in the partnership. I am interested in knowing if settlement agreements are common in business, and how they are typically used in such agreements.
Diane D.
Their called Operation Agreements, and every partnership and LLC should have one. Most do.

Equity Agreement
Pennsylvania
How much equity should investors get?
Hi there, I'm seeking counsel for a startup/small business with two initial investors. These investors have established auto repair businesses and will use those businesses as leverage to support a $500k loan that will be used to initially fund the business. Revenues from those businesses will be used to pay the loan until the business can pay for them. I will be providing all sweat equity. The investors above will have no involvement in the day-to-day (as they run their own businesses). One investor may provide connections to potential clients and if necessary, an additional investor.
Amy Sue L.
This is really a business question, as much as it is a legal question - although lawyers can certainly help you structure and document it once answered. That said, I think you're likely to find a spectrum of answers - on one end of the spectrum, there are 3 investors with equal shares (each having 1/3 of the equity - 2 of which receive their percentage in consideration for $ investments, while you receive yours for your efforts in running the business day-to-day- in this scenario, everyone and everything they bring to the table is equally valued); on the other end of the spectrum, there are 2 investors with equal or otherwise proportionate shares (each having 1/2 of the equity - or some other percentages that total to 100% - in consideration for their respective $ investments, which may differ depending on the value of the businesses underlying the loans), and you are considered an employee of the business (not an investor), who will receive compensation for running the business- presumably a salary and possibly including incentives based on the success of the business; and of course, there are some variations that could impact any or all parties in the middle of the spectrum. I suggest that you have a conversation with your potential partners to learn how each party views the value being brought to the enterprise by the others and begin the negotiation from there. Note also that this deal sounds simple in theory but may become a little complicated due to the funding mechanism being used on the back end.

Equipment Lease
Maryland
Can an attorney negotiate an equipment lease to own purchase
I enter into a lease to own purchase HVAC equipment agreement; unfortunately, have fallen behind on payments-would like to keep unit! - In need of an attorney
Donya G.
Hello, I can assist you in negotiating to keep the equipment. I would first need to review the agreement and advise of the terms in which we can achieve that based on your contract. I would then call the leasing company and negotiate a settlement if I can. It would be up to the language in the agreement and the parties to decide whether or not to accept the offer. I have negotiated settlements in the past for my clients and have extensive experience with it. If you would like my assistance, you can contact me through the website. Otherwise, you can post your job on the website for other attorneys to bid and apply to the job. All the best Donya Gordon

Landscaping Contract
Washington
Can I terminate a landscaping contract if the contractor has failed to meet the agreed-upon deadlines?
I entered into a landscaping contract with a contractor to redesign my backyard, which included various tasks such as installing a patio, planting trees, and laying down new turf. The contract specified that the work would be completed within six weeks. However, it has been over three months, and the contractor has consistently failed to meet the agreed-upon deadlines, causing significant inconvenience and frustration. Can I terminate the contract due to the contractor's breach of the agreed-upon timeframe?
Merry K.
Usually, yes, but it depends in the terms and conditions of the signed agreement, and what steps you have taken to date (such as written correspondance with the contractor) to try to get the landscape contractor to fullfil the contract. You may want to start by verifying the contractor's license: https://lni.wa.gov/licensing-permits/contractors/hiring-a-contractor/verify-contractor-tradesperson-business There are remedies you can use through this state agency (put another way, the agency may be able to accept a complaint from you and help you with this situation for free). Best, Merry
