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!

Project Collaboration Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 16, 2024

What are the key provisions that should be included in a Project Collaboration Agreement?

with background: I am currently working on a collaborative project with another individual and we want to formalize our agreement through a Project Collaboration Agreement. We plan to work together to develop and market a new software product. We have already discussed the general terms of our collaboration, but we want to ensure that the agreement covers all necessary provisions to protect both parties' interests, including ownership of intellectual property, profit sharing, dispute resolution, and confidentiality. What are the key provisions that should be included in a Project Collaboration Agreement to ensure a fair and comprehensive agreement for both parties?

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Hello and welcome to ContractsCounsel.com! My name is Dolan. So first things first is the scope of work. You don't want "project creep" to show up. Lawyers often have to deal with this as well because sometimes the scope of what we do is exceeded by clients on occasion, so being clear on the scope is super important. Also, if you’re both putting in money or other resources, spell out what those are and how they’ll be tracked and you might want to include details on how future expenses will be approved and who’s footing the bill for what. Confidentiality and what to do with the IP is also going to be super important, too. Also, other things like what happens if a party doesn't perform, how you'll handle disputes, where you will handle them, and where notices will be sent are super important. Also, what about decision-making disputes? Think about how those will get handled. Finally, think about profit sharing as well! Come on back to this site and we can draft one up for you!

Cease and Desist

California

Asked on Jul 28, 2021

Would like quote for a Cease and Desist letter

I independently do rescue animal work. A small nonprofit offered to help pay medical bills for my rescues. I learned that they have been posting my work as theirs instead of me. They sent me a text yesterday that they won't help me anymore yet I'm the person doing all the work. One of my rescues died and they are asking for donations on their social media platforms after his death yet they did nothing to contribute to his rescue. I asked them to remove their posts but they don't respond and are collecting donations on my work and rescues.

Alen A.

Answered Oct 1, 2021

Hello, Based on the limited information, it would likely cost $750. This would include one telephone call, a letter, and one reasonable revision. Anything beyond that would be charged at the normal hourly rate of $200/hr.

LLC Operating Agreement

California

Asked on Jun 1, 2023

LLC and capital structure?

I am the founder and owner of a small business that is in the process of transitioning to an LLC. I am interested in understanding the capital structure of an LLC and how it differs from that of a sole proprietorship. I am looking for advice on how to ensure that my business is properly capitalized and structured in order to maximize its potential for success.

Russell M.

Answered Jun 20, 2023

Well, putting aside the very important detail that an LLC offers limitation of liability and a sole proprietorship does not, the difference between a sole proprietorship and an LLC is that you can allocate the profits to others through membership interests. This means you can bring on one or more investors and allocate the capital appreciation, profit and cash flow to the investors with the same or different terms from your interest, and that you can share profits with employees through a "profits interest". There is a great deal of flexibility that you can use through a properly drafted operating agreement.
