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.

Building Lease

California

Asked on Nov 21, 2023

Are building lease deposits refundable?

I am a tenant looking to rent a commercial building. I am in the process of signing the lease agreement and wanted to understand if the security deposit I have to pay will be refundable. I understand that this will depend on the terms of the lease, but I wanted to get a better understanding of what is common in the industry.

David B.

Answered Nov 25, 2023

Generally speaking, a security deposit is refundable after a lease expires if the tenant complies with all of the terms and conditions of the lease. When a landlord leases a commercial building, they are giving the tenant possession of a very valuable asset and they are trusting the tenant to maintain and care for it. The deposit gives some assurance to the landlord that if the premises is damaged or rent is not paid, there is a source of money to pay the landlord. This is the general way security deposits work but the landlord and tenant can agree to substantially different terms.

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.

Founders' Agreement

California

Asked on Dec 15, 2024

Can a founders agreement be modified after it has been signed?

I am part of a startup team and we have recently signed a founders agreement that outlines the roles, responsibilities, and equity distribution among the founders. However, as we continue to work together and the business evolves, we have realized that certain aspects of the agreement need to be modified to better reflect our current needs and goals. We would like to know if it is possible to make amendments to the founders agreement, and if so, what is the process and potential implications of doing so.

Phillip Z.

Answered Jan 29, 2025

Yes, a founders agreement can be modified after signing, but several steps must be followed: 1. Mutual Consent: All founders must agree to the changes. 2. Documentation: Changes should be documented in an amendment referencing the original contract and specifying which clauses are modified. All parties must sign this amendment. 3. Legal Review: A lawyer should review the changes to ensure they are legally sound. 4. Consistency: Ensure changes align with other legal documents. Approach modifications carefully, as they can significantly impact the startup's rights, obligations, and ownership structure.

Promissory Note

California

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What happens to convertible note if startup fails?

I have a startup and am looking to raise money from investors. If we fail, are we going to be liable for anything if we raise money on a convertible note?

Michael M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

Typically, if the business fails, the note can then not be converted or repaid. Unless you have personally guaranteed the obligation which would be unusual, the recourse would be against the entity itself.
