"Matthew was absolutely excellent to work with. He responded to our project request immediately, was always available via text, phone, or email to answer any questions, and handled our demand letter quickly and efficiently. We got a response same-day as a result of Matthew's demand letter, and we had a check in our hands within a few short weeks of hiring him. He even offered to handle a few additional things, like negotiations and document signing, and finalizing the settlement. Would highly recommend Matthew for your legal needs!"

Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

LLC

California

Asked on Oct 29, 2023

How is management structure set post-formation?

I am in the process of forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and I am looking to understand how the management structure will be set up post-formation. I have a business partner who will be a co-owner of the LLC and I am interested in learning the best way to ensure that both of our interests are represented in the management structure. Furthermore, I am interested in learning what type of documentation will be needed to ensure that our management structure is properly set up and in compliance with applicable laws.

Sarah S.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

When forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) with a business partner, it's crucial to establish a clear and effective management structure to represent both of your interests. To do so, you should create an Operating Agreement, a customizable document that outlines the management structure, ownership percentages, and roles and responsibilities of each member. You can choose between a member-managed or manager-managed LLC, depending on your and your partner's roles and preferences. Defining ownership percentages, management responsibilities, voting rights, meeting procedures, and compliance with state laws is essential. Legal counsel should be consulted to draft the Operating Agreement and ensure compliance with specific state regulations, and it's important to regularly review and update the document to adapt to changes as your business evolves.

Corporation Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 4, 2024

What are the legal steps involved in forming a corporation?

I am looking to start a business and have decided on forming a corporation. However, I am unsure about the legal requirements and steps involved in the process. I understand that there are different types of corporations, such as C corporations and S corporations, and I am curious to know the specific steps I need to take to properly form a corporation, including registering with the appropriate government agencies, drafting articles of incorporation, and any other necessary legal procedures. I want to ensure that I am following all the necessary legal guidelines to establish my corporation correctly.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 22, 2024

Hello! Congrats on your decision to start a business. First, begin by selecting a unique name for your corporation and ensure it complies with CA's naming requirements. You can do a name search here - https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business Next, you'll need to prepare and file articles of incorporation with your state's Secretary of State office. These articles typically include details like the corporation's name, purpose, registered agent, and the number of authorized shares of stock. You can do this on the BizFile Online website. Once the articles are filed, you'll need to appoint a board of directors who will oversee the corporation's activities. The board will then draft corporate bylaws (the internal rules). Then, you get an EIN. You can get an EIN online for free. We can always help with drafting the bylaws for you. Just come back to us! Best of luck! Dolan

Dissolution Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 5, 2024

What is the process for dissolving a corporation?

I am the owner of a small corporation that has been struggling financially for the past few years, and I have finally made the difficult decision to dissolve the company. However, I am unsure about the legal steps involved in the dissolution process and want to ensure that I am following all necessary procedures to avoid any potential liabilities or complications in the future. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with an overview of the process for dissolving a corporation, including any required paperwork, notifications, and potential legal considerations.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 22, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. To start, you'll need to formally decide to dissolve the company. This usually involves a resolution by the board of directors and a vote by the shareholders, with the required percentage of votes depending on your bylaws. You've got to then file final tax returns. It's also essential to properly notify your creditors that the corporation is dissolving. This usually involves sending written notice to all known creditors, providing them with instructions for filing claims against the corporation. The other step is to file the actual dissolution documents with the state. The state allows you to do this online. Dissolving a corporation can be really difficult so please consult with us for more! Best of luck! Dolan

SAFE Note

California

Asked on Apr 18, 2025

What legal protections and risks are associated with investing in a company through a SAFE Note?

I am an individual interested in investing in a startup through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) Note, but I am unsure of the legal protections and risks involved. I would like to understand the potential advantages and disadvantages of this investment instrument, such as the rights I would have as an investor, the potential dilution of my ownership, and any potential risks or limitations that may arise in the future.

Tabetha H.

Answered May 13, 2025

SAFE Note Investment: Key Protections & Risks What is a SAFE Note? A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) provides rights to future equity in a startup without setting a current share price. Unlike convertible notes, SAFEs aren't debt - they're contractual rights to equity upon triggering events. Key Protections: Conversion rights - Automatic conversion to equity during qualified financing rounds Valuation cap - Sets maximum valuation for calculating your ownership Discount rate - Provides reduced price compared to new investors (typically 10-30%) Pro-rata rights (if included) - Allows participation in future rounds Dissolution rights - Return of investment if company dissolves before conversion Major Risks: No maturity date - Can remain unconverted indefinitely No interest - Return depends solely on equity appreciation Dilution - Ownership can be significantly reduced in subsequent rounds Limited rights - No voting rights, minimal information access, no board representation Uncertain conversion - May never convert if company doesn't raise qualified financing Tax complexity - Unclear IRS guidance on certain aspects of SAFE taxation Terms to Negotiate: Lower valuation cap and higher discount rate MFN (Most Favored Nation) provision Pro-rata rights Conversion triggers and scenarios Information/reporting rights Risk Summary: SAFEs offer minimal investor protections compared to priced rounds. Your investment could remain illiquid indefinitely with no guaranteed return. Without pro-rata rights, your ownership can be significantly diluted in future rounds.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
