Georgetown University Law Center

G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.

Asset Purchase Agreement

Arizona

Asked on Oct 13, 2023

Can I update an asset purchase agreement post-signing?

I am in the process of purchasing a business, and the asset purchase agreement has already been signed. I recently became aware of some additional assets that I'd like to include in the agreement, and I'm wondering if it's possible to update the agreement post-signing to include these new assets. This purchase is critical to the success of my business, so I'm hoping to get a clear understanding of the legal implications of making changes to the agreement.

Christopher I.

Answered Nov 11, 2023

I am not licensed in Arizona, but feel comfortable providing a general answer about contract amendments, because the subject matter doesn’t require any specialized knowledge. Yes, you can amend nearly any agreement—including an asset purchase agreement (“APA”)—after it has been signed; provided, however, you must follow the requirements for a valid contract amendment. At minimum, you’ll need to obtain the other party’s written authorization for the amendment. Be sure to check for an “Amendments” clause in the APA (look for it under the heading “General Provisions” or “Miscellaneous Provisions”) which may introduce additional requirements, e.g., requiring that an amendment must be labeled and signed by the parties in order to be valid. Further, depending on whether you are seeking to materially alter the terms of the APA, your prospective amendment may require new “consideration”. In contract law, “consideration” generally means any type of bargained-for value that the parties exchange. Thus, if your prospective amendment would make the APA’s terms significantly more favorable to you relative to its terms pre-amendment, then such amendment might require that you give additional bargained-for value to the other party for the amendment to be legally effective. In conclusion, if you follow the requirements for a valid contract amendment, then yes, you can modify the APA and those modifications will be legally enforceable. I hope this has been helpful. If you have any specific followup questions or need a Contract Amendment drafted, I would encourage you to speak with a qualified attorney licensed in your state.

Stock Purchase Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Jul 28, 2023

Stock purchase agreement and stock transfer restrictions?

I am a business owner looking to purchase a company that is currently owned by another individual. I have received a stock purchase agreement and am looking to understand the stock transfer restrictions associated with the agreement. I am hoping to understand the restrictions that will be placed on me as part of the agreement, as well as any restrictions that the current owner may have to abide by.

Thomas L.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

Generally, the common restriction is a right of first refusal, meaning if you later sell the stock, you have to allow the prior owner an opportunity to buy the stock back. In contrast, you would usually impose a non-compete on the seller.

Asset Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Oct 10, 2022

Can buyer back out of purchase agreement?

I am selling my e-commerce site and we have terms agreed. I am going to be presenting a purchase agreement and wanted to know if the buyer signs, is there any way he can back out?

Donya G.

Answered Oct 14, 2022

The answer depends on what your purchase agreement would say. You can draft the agreement to include that there is a deposit that is needed prior to the sale and if they backs out they would loose the deposit or even pay for your legal fees. Generally, a buyer may back out of an agreement but it then come at a cost. As a contracts attorney that specializes in the sale of ecommerce businesses and assets, I would be happy to assist you.

Business Contracts

Settlement Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 10, 2021

When does a non-disparagement clause end?

8.2 Continuing Obligations of Contractor. The provisions of Sections 1.3, 1.4, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7.2, and 8 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. 9. Additional Provisions. 9.1 Non-Disparagement. Both Parties agree that they shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any conduct or make any statement, whether in commercial or noncommercial speech, disparaging or criticizing in any way of the other Party, or any of its affiliates or clients or any of their respective owners, officers, employees or agents or services offered by any of them, nor shall either Party engage in any other conduct or make any other statement whether in writing, verbally or on-line, that could be reasonably expected to impair the goodwill or reputation of the other Party or any of its affiliates or clients. 9.2 Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of this Agreement, Contractor shall not, without the prior written consent of Company, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, employ or otherwise engage the services of employees or individual consultants of the Company. This subsection shall not apply to general solicitations, public job postings, or newspaper advertisements for employment opportunities.

JOSEPH L.

Answered Sep 28, 2021

Since Section 9, Non-Disparagement, is not listed as one of the sections that "survives termination of this Agreement" it is arguable that once the Agreement terminates pursuant to the termination clause of the Agreement then the Non-Disparagement restriction will terminate as well. If no term is stated in a written agreement then presumably the restriction on disparaging that the parties agree to is not terminated, since the contract did not specify one, and therefore is a continuing obligation of both parties. Damages is another issue though. If the contract does not specify damages if one party breaches the agreement by disparaging the other, then what are the damages? Courts hate to guess at damages so the non-breaching party would have to prove "actual damages". If the non-breaching party cannot prove a loss of business or a lost contract with a client as a "direct result" of the disparaging comment, then the court will not guess at damages so the most the non-breaching party may hope to gain is an injunction against future disparaging comments and an order that such comments be removed from the internet, if that is where the comments appear.
