"Dolan reviewed two commercial agreements for my business and delivered outstanding work. His memo was clear and genuinely practical — he pointed to the real risk areas, explained the "why" in plain terms, and marked up both documents with redlines I could act on right away. Turnaround was fast, communication was easy, and he respected the scope we agreed on. He struck a good balance between protecting my position and keeping the agreements fair and workable. I'll be working with him again on the next stage. I recommend him without hesitation."

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.

Business Legal Questions and Answers

Coaching Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 30, 2024

Can a coaching agreement be terminated early if the coach fails to deliver the promised services?

I entered into a coaching agreement with a coach who promised to provide me with specific coaching services, but after a few sessions, it became clear that the coach was not delivering on those promises. I am now considering terminating the agreement early, but I am not sure if I have the legal right to do so or if I would be entitled to any refunds or compensation for the services not rendered.

Dolan W.

Answered Nov 1, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry for this situation. Generally, the answer to your question is yes. Why? A breach of contract simply means that one party was obligated to perform and they have either not performed or have said that they will not perform. (Restatement (Second) of Contracts.) 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. In other words, if you aren't getting the coaching for which you paid, you can pursue one of those remedies. We are more than happy to review the contract for you to verify. Best of luck! Dolan

Partnership Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

How to dissolve a partnership agreement?

I want to get out of a partnership we have with another business where we are sharing profits from products we're selling. It isn't working out and the other party isn't living up to their obligations based on what we initially discuss.

Michael M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

Usually, partnership agreements have a termination provision which addresses when and how the partnership can be terminated. Typically, termination occurs upon the vote of the partners or upon the occurrence of an event or number of years.

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

International Contract

California

Asked on Dec 28, 2024

What legal protections exist for me as a small business owner in the United States entering into an international contract?

As a small business owner in the United States, I am considering entering into an international contract with a supplier based in a different country. I am concerned about the potential risks and legal challenges that may arise from conducting business across borders. I want to know what legal protections exist for me in terms of contract enforcement, dispute resolution, and intellectual property rights, as well as any other important considerations I should be aware of before entering into an international contract.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you so much for coming to the site. So the contract itself is going to be the most important piece of protection. The law doesn't provide for specific protections for individuals or businesses entering into international agreements, but the contract itself, and its terms, are what you need to pay close attention to. If you are selling goods, then there are some rules that help clarify what AI said earlier. The first is the Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (called the CISG). The CISG applies automatically if both parties to the contract are located in countries that have adopted the treaty unless the parties specifically agree to opt out of it. It covers many aspects of a sales contract, such as the obligations of the buyer and seller, delivery of goods, payment, breach of contract, and remedies for non-performance. In other word, the CISG is kind of like a default set of rules for cross-border contracts unless you opt out of it, so knowing whether it helps or hurts your position is worth looking into. When it comes to intellectual property, be proactive. Just because you’ve got protections in the U.S. doesn’t mean they automatically apply abroad. Consider registering trademarks or patents in the country where your supplier is based to prevent them from using your intellectual property without permission. So what do I recommend you do? 1. Put in the contract what state is going to be the state for lawsuits (e.g. California); 2. Put it in writing! We can draft it up for you just let us know!

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.
