"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!"

Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement

California

Asked on Nov 4, 2024

Can you explain the key elements and potential risks involved in an Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement?

I am a software developer who has recently been approached by a larger company interested in acquiring the intellectual property rights to a software application I have developed. While I am excited about the opportunity, I am also concerned about the potential risks involved in transferring my intellectual property. I would like to understand the key elements of an Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement, such as the scope of the transfer, ownership rights, confidentiality provisions, and any potential liabilities that may arise from the agreement.

Dolan W.

Answered Nov 5, 2024

Hello! First, it’s important to outline the scope of the transfer clearly. This means defining which elements of the software are included and ensuring there’s no ambiguity around ownership, so you and the other party know whether all rights or specific limited rights are being transferred. Regarding ownership rights, if this is a full transfer, you’d have full control over any modifications, licensing, or sales. If the other party is retaining any rights (like the ability to create derivative works) that should be very clear in the agreement. Next, confidentiality is important. If any sensitive information or proprietary elements are part of the IP, too. Payment terms are also important. You'll want to clarify whether there’s a one-time payment, ongoing royalties, or milestone-based payments. I Come on to this site if you have any questions! Dolan

Employment Contract

California

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What is fixed term employment contract?

I have been given a contract that says 'Fixed Term Employment Contract'. How is this different than a normal employment contract? Is there anything I need to consider before signing this?

Michael M.

This is an agreement that has a fixed amount of years which is agreed to by the employer and the employee. These types of agreements usually have a term of say 1, 2, or 3 years and often are renewable for another fixed term

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 Dec 2, 2024

Can an LLC operating agreement be modified without the unanimous consent of all members?

I am a member of an LLC and we currently have an operating agreement in place that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each member. However, there have been some changes in the business and I believe that certain provisions of the operating agreement need to be modified in order to better reflect our current needs and goals. Some members are resistant to these changes and I would like to know if it is possible to modify the operating agreement without obtaining unanimous consent from all members, and if so, what steps need to be taken to make these modifications legally binding.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 6, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to help. Generally, an agreement can't be modified without the consent of the parties involved and additional consideration included (e.g. something in exchange). Whether the operating agreement can be changed depends on the terms itself. The parties can agree that only a majority vote is needed or may require a unanimous agreement for something like this. We can review the operating agreement for you and let you know what your rights are and offer some advice. Best of luck!

Corporate Bylaws

California

Asked on Dec 15, 2024

Can a corporation amend its bylaws without a shareholder vote?

I am a shareholder in a small corporation and recently, the board of directors proposed several amendments to the company's bylaws, including changes to the voting rights and director appointment process. However, there was no mention of a shareholder vote in the proposed amendments, and I am concerned that the board may be trying to bypass our input and make unilateral decisions. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for a corporation to amend its bylaws without a shareholder vote and what my rights as a shareholder are in this situation.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and I am sorry to hear about this situation. So this depends on a few things: 1. The bylaws generally are what govern. If the bylaws authorize this, then it's legal for the corporation's board members to do so. 2. This also depends on the type of shareholders. "Class A" shareholders typically are able to make decisions to amend the bylaws without lower (Class B or lower) shareholders having a say. For instance, Meta can change its bylaws without the consent of common shareholders. 3. Nevertheless, as a shareholder, you have the right to inspect the corporation's governing documents, financial records, and meeting minutes to understand the board's authority and intentions. You can request access to these documents under state law. 4. If the board is acting outside its authority or attempting to make changes that require shareholder approval, you may be able to challenge the amendments. This could involve raising objections at a shareholder meeting, contacting other shareholders to address the issue collectively, or pursuing legal action if necessary. We're happy to help any way we can!

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.
