Matthew S.
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. However, I represent clients in almost any industry, including real estate, construction, medicine, service, and consumer products.

Business Contracts
Business Plan
California
Can a business plan be legally binding?
I am in the process of developing a business plan for a new venture and I want to ensure that the commitments and agreements outlined in the plan are legally enforceable. I have heard conflicting opinions on whether a business plan can be considered a legally binding contract, and I am seeking clarification on this matter to ensure that I am taking the necessary steps to protect my interests and the interests of my potential business partners.
Dawn K.
Hi- the business plan is being developed for whom? For your own planning to execute the first phases of your business? For financing? IF you want to have a legally binding agreement, there are specific rules- particularly around who are the specific parties to the agreement and what the specific performance is required for each side to complete. Often a business plan is just that- a plan for a business. Market research, competitive analysis, product/ service differentiation, etc. It will likely have forecasts based on market intelligence and industry- but it is not directed at one or even a few other people. IF after the plan is completed, you enter into a partnership agreement with specific items that each party agrees to do, that is a different document. Business plans are typically flexible and able to adapt to changing market conditions. Contracts are "you do A, I will do B" so that we know exactly what a "breach" is. Even if contracts are modified or amended- there are clear terms that outline who does what. So, depending on the style and purpose of your plan, it may not legally bind specific people to do specific things. And that would be the key difference in a plan vs a legally binding agreement.
Business Contracts
Employee Retention Agreement
California
Phantom Unit Agreement
I just received this agreement from my company but I am not understanding anything about it. I need some help understanding this agreement before I sign it.
Holly T.
Does it perhaps refer to UARs as part of a benefits/retention package in lieu of stocks?
Business Contracts
Partnership Agreement
California
Can a partnership agreement be modified without the consent of all partners?
I am currently a partner in a small business with two other individuals, and we have a partnership agreement in place that outlines our rights, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangements. However, I have recently been approached by one of the partners who wants to make significant changes to the agreement, including altering the profit-sharing percentages and the decision-making process. I am concerned about the potential impact these changes could have on my rights and the overall stability of the partnership. Therefore, I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the partnership agreement to be modified without the unanimous consent of all partners, and what steps I can take to protect my interests in this situation.
Lorraine C.
I understand your concern regarding modification of an existing partnership agreement. However, the answer is "it depends," which no client wants to hear. The specific terms of the partnership agreement would control whether modification without unanimous consent was proper -- and the only way to make that determination is to have an attorney review the partnership agreement and advise you. I hope this helps! Lorraine Coats, Esq.
Business Contracts
Commission Agreement
California
Can a commission agreement be enforced if it was not signed by both parties?
I recently entered into a commission agreement with a company where I would receive a percentage of sales for bringing in new clients. However, I just realized that the agreement was never signed by the company, although I did sign it. I have already started bringing in clients and generating sales, but now I am concerned about whether the agreement can be enforced without the company's signature. I want to know if I can still legally claim my commission based on the terms outlined in the agreement.
Tabetha H.
While unsigned contracts can create uncertainty, your commission agreement may still be enforceable despite lacking the company's signature. Courts often recognize contracts as valid when parties act as if an agreement exists. Your performance (bringing in clients) and the company's acceptance of those benefits (receiving sales) creates an implied acceptance through conduct. This falls under legal principles like part performance and estoppel, which prevent companies from benefiting from your work while avoiding payment obligations. You likely have a strong claim to enforce the commission terms, especially since you've already fulfilled your obligations and the company has accepted the resulting benefits.
Business Contracts
Business Purchase Agreement
California
Can a business purchase agreement be verbal?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and am currently in negotiations with the seller. I am trying to understand the legal requirements for a business purchase agreement. Can a business purchase agreement be verbal or does it need to be in writing? I'm looking for clarification on this as I want to ensure that all parties involved are legally protected.
Brian W.
Business purchase agreements need to be in writing. It will protect you and each party. Let me know if you need assistance in drafting the agreement.
