I am a business, Internet, and intellectual property lawyer. My practice is split between both transactional work and litigation. Prior to law school, I earned a master’s degree in computer science, which gives me the background and experience to understand technology, software, and the Internet better than most attorneys, and so my practice focuses on these areas.

Joint Operating Agreement
North Carolina
Can a Joint Operating Agreement be terminated unilaterally?
I am currently a partner in a joint venture with two other individuals, and we have a Joint Operating Agreement in place. However, due to significant disagreements and conflicts of interest, I am considering terminating the agreement unilaterally. I would like to know if it is legally possible for me to do so, and what potential consequences or liabilities I may face in such a scenario.
Christopher N.
The short answer is: it depends. The (properly drafted) document itself should discuss a dissolution of the agreement. Absent specific terms in the agreement, state contract and/or business law would control how to disolve the agreement and your partnership. We highly recommend you consult with an expereienced business or contracts attorney that can help the parties resolve their differences: beit working to reestablish or amicably disolve the relationship. Good luck.

Startup Stock Option
Kansas
What are the key elements to include in a startup agreement?
I am in the process of starting a new business with a partner and we want to ensure that we have a solid legal foundation for our venture. We are looking to draft a startup agreement that will outline the rights, responsibilities, and ownership structure for both of us. We want to make sure that all important aspects such as equity distribution, decision-making authority, and exit strategies are properly addressed in the agreement. What are the key elements that should be included in a startup agreement to protect both parties and ensure a smooth operation of our business?
Christopher N.
The answer to your question depends on a variety of factors, the number of partners, the amount of money involved, the underlying business, e.g., is intellectual property involved, or is it restaurant, and the combines risks associated with the business. At a minimum, you need to detail: who owns how much of the company (50/50; 30/70); how much capital is going to be invested by each party and when that money is to be invested; how is that money to be spent and who can spend that money (and what are the limits); what decisions can be made and who has to approve them (vote or unilateral decisions); who is going to manage the day-to-day operations; what are the requirements for adding capital (and where it comes from) ... and how (or when) to withdrawal capital; how are partners added (or withdrawal voluntarily or forcibly); and, much much more. However, many times forming a small company is a very simple affair, but can be complicated. We highly recommend you speak with an attorney that specializes in small businesses. A good attorney will be able to help you with formation, but also be your (non-owner) partner, "outside general counsel," and faciliator of contacts to help you grow your business. Good luck!

Business Entity
Illinois
I have an LLC for rental investment. Can i use the LLC to do independent corp to corp work.
Currently employed, with investment property under LLC. Would like to do independent contract work.
T. Phillip B.
The question isn't whether you can do it, but is whether you SHOULD do it. You definitely would be able to do other work within the LLC. However, in doing so, now you active work and passive income are getting combined which would likely subject your passive income to the 15.3% self employment tax. Let me know if you have any questions on how to structure the businesses.

Multi-Member LLC Operating Agreement
New York
Can a multi-member LLC operating agreement be amended without the consent of all members?
I am a member of a multi-member LLC and we currently have an operating agreement in place that was agreed upon when the company was formed. However, there have been changes in the business and we feel that certain provisions in the operating agreement need to be amended to better reflect our current needs and goals. Some members are hesitant to make these changes and we are unsure if the operating agreement can be amended without the consent of all members or if unanimous consent is required. We are seeking clarification on the process of amending the operating agreement and the level of consensus needed among the members.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is located in Long Island City across from Manhattan. If the operating agreement is silent on amendments, the default rule under New York's Limited Liability Company Law (LLCL) would apply. According to Section 402 with exceptions in Section 417 of the LLC Law, the operating agreement can generally be amended by a majority vote of the members, unless the agreement specifically requires unanimous consent for amendments. However, certain provisions require the consent of a member adversely affected by the amendment.: A) the obligations of any member to make contributions, (B) the allocation for tax purposes of any items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit, (C) the manner of computing the distributions of any member or (D) the compromise of an obligation of a member to contribute is contained in the articles of organization. If there are to be amendments without unanimous consent, it is better to have an attorney supervise the amendment process on behave of the LLC to make sure the amendment process is following NY law.

LLC
Texas
What is the purpose of a Certificate of Organization?
I am in the process of starting a new business and I have been advised to file a Certificate of Organization. I understand that this document is required for limited liability companies (LLCs) and serves as proof of the company's existence. However, I would like to know more about the specific purpose of a Certificate of Organization, what information it typically includes, and any potential legal implications or consequences of not filing this document.
Phillip Z.
A Certificate of Organization as your LLC's birth certificate in Texas. When you file Form 205, you're officially creating your business and getting all the legal protections that come with it. You'll need to include some basic info: - your company name (with "LLC" in it), - who'll receive any legal papers (that's your registered agent), - where you're located, and - how the company will be managed. You must send the $300 filing fee to the Texas Secretary of State with Form 205. Just remember—without this certificate, your business isn't officially recognized. That means you could be personally liable for any business debts or legal issues, and you'll have trouble with basic things like opening a bank account.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
