Phocus L.
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
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.
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.
Business Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Can I set performance metrics in the contractor agreement?
I am a small business owner who recently hired an independent contractor to help with some of my projects. I want to ensure that the contractor is held accountable for their work, so I am looking to set performance metrics in the contractor agreement. I am hoping to find out the legalities of doing so and what kind of metrics are legally allowed to be included in the agreement.
N'kia N.
A business that hires an independent contractor should be careful not to confuse an independent contractor relationship with an employment relationship. Treating an independent contractor like an employee can result in the law ultimately determining that the contractor is actually a "misclassified" employee. In North Carolina, "performance metrics" typically apply to employees, not independent contractors. This is because the "independent" in "independent contractor" means that the hiring party does not "control" (manage, monitor, supervise, etc.) the contractor like it would an employee. The hiring party is entitled to hold the contractor accountable for the results that it hires the contractor to achieve. However, the independent contractor is entitled to determine the manner, means, and methods of achieving the desired results. With that all being said, it is important for the parties to an independent contractor relationship to have clear expectations. An independent contractor agreement should outline the essential terms and conditions of the engagement. These might include such terms as definitions of the deliverables, deadlines for the deliverables, remedies for the independent contractor's failure to produce the deliverables by the agreed-upon deadlines, and special considerations. A knowledgeable North Carolina attorney can advise on the legalities of the proposed terms and conditions of an independent contractor relationship that is to be governed by North Carolina law.

Business Partnership Agreement
North Carolina
Multilingual business partnership agreement?
I am looking to enter into a business partnership with a foreign partner and we would like to ensure that both parties are aware of the terms of the agreement. We want to make sure that the agreement is in our native language as well as the language of our partner in order to ensure that both parties have the same understanding of the agreement. We are looking for advice on how to draft a multilingual business partnership agreement.
N'kia N.
Generally speaking, contracts should be in a language that all the parties understand. However, many legal terms do not have exact translations in other languages. Therefore, many businesses that use multilingual contracts will identify one language as the contract's "official" language. Anyone who is considering using a multilingual business contract, including a business partnership agreement, should also consider using translators who are well versed in "legalese" in the languages to be used in the contract.
Business Contracts
Asset Purchase Agreement
North Carolina
How to handle disputes in an asset purchase agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and the seller and I have agreed on all the major terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. However, we are having difficulty agreeing on the terms of dispute resolution. We both want to ensure that any disputes arising from the agreement are handled in a timely and cost-effective manner. As such, I am looking for advice from a lawyer on how best to handle disputes in an asset purchase agreement.
N'kia N.
The 4 main options for dispute resolution in North Carolina are negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. The best option(s) for dispute resolution will differ depending on such factors as types of claims and amount in controversy. Although clauses requiring private arbitration have become commonplace in business-related contracts, with the exception of small claims, private arbitration through organizations like the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service ("JAMS") often costs the parties as much time and money as litigation. Therefore, it is important to choose your dispute resolution option(s) carefully and not enter into an agreement blindly. A knowledgeable corporate attorney can help evaluate your best option(s) for dispute resolution related to your business purchase agreement and can even draft the relevant contract term(s). Good luck!

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
