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.

Product Licensing Agreement
Arizona
Can a product licensing agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet quality standards?
I am a small business owner who recently entered into a product licensing agreement with a larger company to manufacture and sell their branded products. However, I have noticed that the quality of the products being supplied by the licensee is significantly below the agreed-upon standards, which is affecting my reputation and sales. I would like to know if I have the right to terminate the licensing agreement due to the licensee's failure to meet quality standards, and what steps I should take to protect my business interests in this situation.
Randy M.
Yes, a licensing agreement can usually be terminated when the licensee fails to meet required quality standards, but whether you can do so depends on the language of your contract and how you handle the termination process. Courts enforce termination rights strictly, and you’ll need to show the breach is material rather than minor. Why Quality Failures Can Be a Material Breach Licensing agreements are built on protecting a brand. If the licensee’s products don’t meet agreed standards, that failure strikes at the heart of the deal. Poor quality undermines reputation, erodes consumer trust, and damages the goodwill the licensor has worked to build. Because of this, most agreements treat failure to meet quality standards as a material breach that allows the licensor to terminate if the breach isn’t corrected. Reviewing Your Agreement The first step is to examine the actual contract. Focus on provisions that describe: • Quality control obligations: These may reference specific product specifications, quality manuals, or compliance with industry standards. • Termination rights: Look for “for cause” termination language, which often lists quality failures as a trigger. • Notice and cure requirements: Many agreements require that you notify the licensee of the breach and give them a period (commonly 30 to 60 days) to correct it. • Dispute resolution procedures: Some contracts require mediation or arbitration before termination. You’ll need to comply with these provisions precisely. If you don’t, you risk a wrongful termination claim. Building the Record The burden will be on you to show the breach is real and significant. Documentation is key: • Collect product samples, photos, and inspection results that demonstrate the defects. • Keep a record of customer complaints, returns, or negative reviews linked to quality. • Maintain internal notes or reports from employees who’ve identified problems. • Save communications with the licensee where quality concerns were raised. If the licensee disputes termination, this evidence will support your position that the breach was material. Notice of Breach If the contract requires a cure period, you must send a written breach notice. That notice should: • Cite the contract provisions that have been violated. • Describe the quality issues in detail. • Attach or reference supporting evidence if possible. • Specify the time period for cure as outlined in the contract. • Make clear that failure to cure within that time will result in termination. The notice should be sent in the form specified in the contract, for example by certified mail or overnight courier. Termination if the Breach Isn’t Cured If the licensee fails to resolve the problems within the cure period, you may proceed with termination. The termination notice should: • State clearly that the agreement is being terminated under the relevant clause. • Identify the uncured quality failures as the reason. • Provide the effective termination date. • Remind the licensee of post-termination obligations, such as ceasing production and sales of your branded products. Protecting Your Interests After Termination If the licensee continues to sell after termination, you may need to seek an injunction to stop them. If you’ve lost sales or suffered reputational harm, you can consider pursuing damages. At the same time, you’ll want to secure a new licensee or manufacturing partner to maintain supply and protect your brand. In some cases, a carefully managed public statement can help maintain customer confidence. Limitations and Risks Not every defect will justify termination. Courts distinguish between minor issues and breaches that are serious enough to go to the root of the contract. Delay in taking action can also be seen as waiving the right to terminate for those particular breaches. Because wrongful termination can expose you to counterclaims, it’s best to have an attorney review your contract and prepare the necessary notices. Through Contracts Counsel, you can quickly connect with experienced contract attorneys who understand licensing disputes and can guide you through the process with confidence.

Business Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Are templates for independent contractor agreements okay?
I am an independent contractor and am currently in the process of negotiating a new agreement with a client. I am trying to understand the implications of using a template agreement, as opposed to having an agreement written specifically for our situation. I want to ensure that I am protecting my interests and that the agreement is legally binding.
N'kia N.
Contract templates tend to follow the "Goldilocks principle." 1. The first template is too generic, so it won't likely protect many user-specific interests. 2. The second template is too specific, so it won't likely protect the interests of users outside of a specific category. 3. The third template is just right, so it is most likely to protect a specific party's legal interests. However, this template is one that an attorney created after having the opportunity to understand that party's goals and preferences. If a template was not created (or at least revised by an attorney) specifically for you, it might be best to think of it as a point of origin rather than a final product to be used as-is. Also, the independent contractor relationship is a widely misunderstood legal concept. But it is important for an independent contractor to understand how to leverage the nature of the relationship to negotiate favorable contract terms. An attorney can review, revise, negotiate, or write a contract, including an independent contractor agreement. Consult with a North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable about independent contractor relationships and able to tailor your independent contractor agreement to your specific needs.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
