Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

Non-Disclosure And Confidentiality Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 21, 2023

Business contract confidentiality clause?

I am a business owner in the process of signing a contract with a new vendor. We have agreed on the terms of the contract, but I am concerned about the confidentiality clause. I need to ensure that the vendor is not able to share the details of the contract with other businesses or individuals that could potentially be in competition with us. I want to know what can be done to ensure that the confidentiality clause of the contract is enforced.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 31, 2023

A business might use a non-disclosure agreement (sometimes called an "NDA," a "Confidential Disclosure Agreement," or a "CDA") to prevent others from disclosing its confidential information. Confidential information includes the business' trade secrets, as well as other proprietary information that does not constitute trade secrets. Generally, there are two main types of non-disclosure agreements. In a unilateral non-disclosure agreement, one party agrees not to disclose the other party's confidential information. In a mutual non-disclosure agreement, both parties agree not to disclose each other's confidential information. It is usually best to execute a non-disclosure agreement prior to the disclosure of confidential information. Disclosed information cannot be un-disclosed. Also, a party that has already received confidential information without restrictions might have little to no incentive to sign a non-disclosure agreement after the fact. For advice on or assistance with a non-disclosure agreement, speak with a knowledgeable business contract attorney. Good luck!

I am in the process of purchasing a business, and I am looking for more information on the common clauses in a purchase agreement. I need to understand what is typically included in a purchase agreement so that I can make sure all the necessary terms are included in the document.

Assignment Of Partnership Interest

California

Asked on Jul 27, 2025

Can a partner assign their interest in a partnership without the consent of the other partners?

Can a partner, who is dissatisfied with the partnership and wishes to exit, legally assign their interest in the partnership to a third party without the consent of the other partners, and what are the potential implications or restrictions that may arise from such an assignment? I am currently a partner in a business that operates as a partnership, but due to personal circumstances, I am looking to leave the partnership and transfer my interest to another individual who is interested in joining. However, the other partners have been resistant to the idea of allowing me to assign my interest, and I am unsure of the legal rights and obligations surrounding this matter.

Dawn K.

Answered Aug 19, 2025

You don't say what the partnership entity structure is, so I'm going to answer this as if it was an LLC. If this is just a partnership agreement that operates as a different structure, the answer would be found in whatever the partnership agreement says, but many "partnership" entities that I see in practice are formed with an LLC structure, with the partners as "members." If you are an LLC, it is time to look at your operating agreement. If you do not have one, you'll be under the "default rules" in California. There are two potential structures- a "manager" managed LLC and a "member" managed LLC, you'll need to look at your specific operating agreement to see whether your LLC is specified as "manager" managed. If you do not have one, by default, your business is more than likely, a member managed LLC. Generally, and this is education, not legal advice, there are specific acts that require unanimous consent of all members- and this may include transfer of interests- depending on any restrictions in the Operating Agreement. I would start from the documentation you signed to create the partnership, whether it is a stand-alone partnership agreement or an LLC and if you have an LLC structure look for whether your company is under the default rules or what the Operating Agreement states regarding transfers.

Collaboration Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 22, 2024

Can a collaboration agreement be terminated if one party fails to meet their obligations?

I am currently in a collaboration agreement with another individual for a joint business venture, where we agreed to share resources, responsibilities, and profits. However, it has come to my attention that the other party has consistently failed to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the agreement, such as not contributing their fair share of financial resources and not meeting project deadlines. This has caused significant delays and financial losses for me. I would like to know if I have the legal right to terminate the collaboration agreement due to their breach of contract and seek compensation for the damages incurred.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 29, 2024

I'm so sorry about this situation! The answer is yes. Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the plaintiff. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) The law generally allows you to suspend your performance, much like if you stop paying your cell phone bill, your account is cut off. Also, any contract entered into after January 1, 1986 that does not stipulate the legal rate of interest, the obligation shall bear an interest rate of 10% per year after the breach. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3289.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. You have some options you can explore: You may want to consider just writing a formal demand letter. You can find it here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 You can file a lawsuit in your local court. If you’ve already sent a bunch of letters, then the truth is this is the only way to compel them to do anything. Best of luck! Dolan

Business Contracts

Partnership Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 18, 2024

Can a partnership agreement be modified without the consent of all partners?

I am currently a partner in a small business with two other individuals, and we have a partnership agreement in place that outlines our rights, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangements. However, I have recently been approached by one of the partners who wants to make significant changes to the agreement, including altering the profit-sharing percentages and the decision-making process. I am concerned about the potential impact these changes could have on my rights and the overall stability of the partnership. Therefore, I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the partnership agreement to be modified without the unanimous consent of all partners, and what steps I can take to protect my interests in this situation.

Lorraine C.

Answered Oct 18, 2024

I understand your concern regarding modification of an existing partnership agreement. However, the answer is "it depends," which no client wants to hear. The specific terms of the partnership agreement would control whether modification without unanimous consent was proper -- and the only way to make that determination is to have an attorney review the partnership agreement and advise you. I hope this helps! Lorraine Coats, Esq.
