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.

Construction Contractor Legal Questions and Answers

General Contractor Contract

Texas

Asked on Jan 24, 2025

Is it legal for a general contractor to include a clause in the contract that limits the homeowner's right to sue for construction defects?

I recently hired a general contractor to renovate my home, and in the contract they provided, there is a clause that states I am waiving my right to sue them for any construction defects and instead must go through arbitration or mediation. I'm concerned about signing away my legal rights and want to know if this clause is enforceable or if it violates any consumer protection laws.

Jennifer B.

Answered Jan 28, 2025

Under Texas law, general contractors can include provisions that require disputes about construction issues or defects to be resolved through mediation and arbitration rather than going to court. It is enforceable and it is not a violation of consumer protection law. To be valid, the arbitration requirement must be clearly visible in the contract - specifically in bold, 10-point type or larger. This ensures you can make an informed decision about agreeing to arbitration. For disputes over alleged construction defects where damages exceed $7,500, Texas law provides for mandatory mediation if requested by either party. Mediation involves working with a neutral third party to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If mediation doesn't resolve the issue, the dispute would then go to binding arbitration - where an arbitrator hears both sides and makes a final decision. Texas courts recognize and enforce these types of arbitration agreements. While arbitration and mediation can often provide faster and less expensive resolution than litigation, you should carefully review these provisions before signing.

Contractor Agreement

Washington

Asked on Oct 22, 2023

Does a contractor agreement need notarization?

I am a property owner who recently hired a contractor to complete a renovation project on my home. I have been presented with a contractor agreement that needs to be signed by both parties, but I am unsure if the agreement needs to be notarized. I am seeking advice from a lawyer to ensure that I am correctly following the legal requirements in this situation.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 10, 2023

I have never heard of this type of contract being notarized - what is far more important, however, are all the terms of the agreement - especially such things as timelines, milestones, cost overruns, etc. If you are signing a contract for more than a few thousand dollars, I urge you to have a construction contract attorney review the contract before you sign it. I come across SO many problems with residential contractors I couldn't begin to list them all!

General Contractor Contract

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 16, 2024

Can a general contractor include a clause in the contract that allows them to terminate the agreement without cause?

I am a homeowner who recently hired a general contractor to oversee a major renovation project on my property. We have signed a contract that outlines the scope of work, payment terms, and project timeline. However, I noticed a clause in the contract that states the general contractor has the right to terminate the agreement at any time, without providing a specific reason. This concerns me as I want to ensure that the contractor will complete the project as agreed upon. I would like to know if it is common and legally permissible for general contractors to include such termination clauses in their contracts, and what my rights and options are in this situation.

Mark L.

Answered Jun 19, 2024

Other than the terms that Massachusetts requires to appear in a home improvement contract between a homeowner and a registered home improvement contractor, the parties can agree to pretty much any other terms (provided they are not illegal, or void on public policy grounds). The GC is probably including this "termination without cause" right in his standard agreement in case a more lucrative job comes along and he'd lose out on it if he continued on your project. I would strongly recommend that you insist the contract be amended to remove that clause. Here is a link to the Mass. Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulations' guidance on this topic: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/required-contract-terms-in-a-home-improvement-contract. And assuming he is a registered home improvement contractor, while amending the contract to strike the termination language, you should also add any of the Massachusetts-required terms that are missing, or update them as appropriate. Hopefully, you have a good relationship with your contractor and he will agree, at least to the removal of the termination language. If the contractor has integrity, he should agree to remove the language and add/update any missing required terms.

Plumbing Contract

Washington

Asked on Jun 27, 2025

Can a plumbing contractor change the terms of a signed contract without my consent?

I recently hired a plumbing contractor to repair some leaks in my home, and we signed a contract that clearly outlined the scope of work, timeline, and cost. However, after a few days, the contractor informed me that they would need to change some of the terms, including an increase in the cost and an extension of the timeline, without providing any valid reasons or seeking my consent. I'm concerned about my rights as a consumer and whether the contractor can unilaterally modify the contract in this manner.

Merry K.

Answered Jul 11, 2025

Speaking very generally, the answer will depend on the wording of the contract itself, and just what you agreed to. However, it's common for this type of contract to include provisions for a work change order. Look to see if your contract includes a reference to something like a "change order" - this is usually how the reference to the formal document used to modify the original contract is call - typically for: Additional work, Changes in scope or materials, Adjustments to cost or timeline. It must be agreed to and signed by both parties (typically the contractor and homeowner or project owner) before the change is performed, unless the contract provides otherwise. The key is whether or not your contract provides otherwise. Sometimes contracts allow for extra time/materials that a contractor may find once walls are opened and whether hidden defects and problems can be seen. Your plumber should explain to you the reasons for the extra charges. I hope that's been helpful. Don't forget you can find a residential contruction contract attorney through ContractsCounsel.com to review the contract and negotiate with the plumber on your behalf. (I do not do this kind of work myself right now).

Contractor Permit

Florida

Asked on Jun 23, 2024

Can a contractor legally work without a permit?

I recently hired a contractor to remodel my kitchen, and during the process, I discovered that they did not obtain the necessary permit for the project. I am concerned about the legal implications of this and whether the contractor can continue to work without a permit, as it has caused delays and potential safety issues. I would like to know if a contractor is legally allowed to work without a permit, and if not, what actions can I take to ensure compliance and address the situation appropriately.

Diane D.

Answered Jul 16, 2024

Depends on what the contractor is doing, and if he is truly a contractor or a handyman. In Florida, Handymen typically work on small jobs, like minor repairs and improvements to a residence or commercial building. In Florida, you don't need any authorization or documentation to provide unregulated handyman services, but you will need a contractor's license for regulated services like plumbing, construction, and electrical work. Contractors obtain building permits for their work and to make sure they comply with zoning and building codes. If remodeling your kitchen calls for plumbing or could be considered major construction work, then you need permits and a true contractor. If he is a real contractor, and he is doing this work, the city can assess fines on you and stop the work until the permits are obtained.
