Business Legal Questions and Answers

Business

LLC

California

Asked on May 20, 2023

LLC and member liability?

I am interested in forming a limited liability company (LLC) and am seeking legal advice regarding the protection of my assets and the liabilities of the LLC members. I am concerned about the potential risks associated with being a member of an LLC and would like to understand what kind of protection I can expect.

Gagandeep K.

Answered Jun 7, 2023

In general, there are benefits and drawbacks in the LLC structure so it is important to weigh these in deciding if an LLC makes the most sense for your business. Some of the benefits to the LLC structure are limiting personal liability, tax advantages, and flexibility in the structure, among others. There are also some limitations to the LLC structure such as in raising investment and limitation on liability protection. You can learn more about the LLC structure, protections, and risks here https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/g/us/llc/13. For specific questions about an LLC structure as it applies to you business, please consult an attorney.

LLC Operating Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 2, 2024

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the unanimous consent of all members?

I am a member of an LLC and we currently have an operating agreement in place that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each member. However, there have been some changes in the business and I believe that certain provisions of the operating agreement need to be modified in order to better reflect our current needs and goals. Some members are resistant to these changes and I would like to know if it is possible to modify the operating agreement without obtaining unanimous consent from all members, and if so, what steps need to be taken to make these modifications legally binding.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 6, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to help. Generally, an agreement can't be modified without the consent of the parties involved and additional consideration included (e.g. something in exchange). Whether the operating agreement can be changed depends on the terms itself. The parties can agree that only a majority vote is needed or may require a unanimous agreement for something like this. We can review the operating agreement for you and let you know what your rights are and offer some advice. Best of luck!

Partnership Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 1, 2024

What are the necessary clauses that should be included in a partnership agreement?

I am currently in the process of starting a small business with a close friend, and we have decided to form a partnership. We are in the early stages of drafting our partnership agreement, but we are unsure about what specific clauses and provisions should be included to protect our interests and clearly define our roles and responsibilities. We want to ensure that the agreement covers important aspects such as profit sharing, decision-making authority, dispute resolution, and the process for adding or removing partners. We are seeking guidance on the key clauses that should be included in our partnership agreement to create a solid foundation for our business partnership.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 6, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you so much for coming to contractscounsel.com. Starting a business with a friend is exciting, but let’s be real: having a solid partnership agreement upfront can save you both a lot of headaches. Here’s what you should include to keep things smooth: Immediately, cover the basics: who the partners are, your business name, purpose, and location. Then, spell out roles and responsibilities such as who’s doing what. It’s better to have it clear now than argue later. Decide how profits (and losses) will be split. Is it 50/50 or based on time, money, or effort each of you invests? Figure out how decisions will be made. For the inevitable disagreements, set up a plan like mediation or arbitration so you’re not winging it. Also, think about what happens if someone wants to leave or if you’re adding a new partner. Outline how that works ahead of time. Don’t forget to note what each of you is contributing (money, skills, property) and consider adding a non-compete or confidentiality clause to protect your business if one of you bails. Lastly, have an exit strategy. If you ever close the business, knowing how to wrap it up will save you a lot of stress. Once you’ve got it all down, have us look it over to make sure it’s airtight. That way, you can focus on growing your business instead of worrying about potential issues. Thanks again!

Offer Letter

California

Asked on Dec 17, 2024

Can an employer revoke an offer letter after it has been accepted?

I recently received an offer letter for a job position that I had been interviewing for, and I accepted the offer in writing. However, a week later, the employer contacted me to inform me that they are revoking the offer due to unforeseen circumstances. I had already given notice to my current employer and made arrangements to start the new job. I am now left without a job and wondering if the employer has the right to revoke the offer letter after it has been accepted.

Phillip Z.

Answered Jan 29, 2025

Yes, employers can usually revoke an offer letter even after it's been accepted, but there are some important things to consider: At-will employment: In most states, employers can terminate employment anytime, even before the job starts. Legal risks: Rescinding offers can lead to legal issues, especially if the candidate has already taken action to their detriment based on the offer. Contracts: If the offer letter is a binding contract, revocation could be considered a breach of contract and result in damages to the employee.

Hold Harmless Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 30, 2024

Can a hold harmless agreement protect me from liability if someone is injured on my property?

I recently purchased a property with a large backyard that I plan to rent out for events such as weddings and parties. I want to ensure that I am protected from any potential lawsuits or liability if someone were to get injured during an event. I have heard about hold harmless agreements and I am wondering if having guests sign this agreement would effectively protect me from any legal consequences in the event of an injury. I want to make sure I am taking all necessary precautions to protect myself legally.

Dolan W.

Answered Nov 5, 2024

Hello! Yes. A hold harmless agreement can be an effective tool to limit your liability if someone is injured on your property during an event. When crafted correctly, these agreements require guests or renters to assume responsibility for any risks associated with the event and release you from liability for injuries or damages. However, the protection offered by a hold harmless agreement is NOT absolute, as courts may view them differently depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances surrounding the injury. For example, if an injury occurs due to gross negligence or intentional misconduct on your part, such as ignoring known hazards or failing to address unsafe conditions, courts are likely to find that a hold harmless agreement does not protect you. For instance, if there is a broken step on your property that you knew about but didn’t fix, and someone is injured, the agreement might not shield you from liability. Having guests sign a hold harmless agreement is a smart step, but it should ideally be part of a broader strategy. Best of luck! Dolan
