Max K.
I am a business attorney and former in-house corporate attorney with more than a decade of experience helping companies navigate contracts, commercial relationships, day-to-day operations, and disputes. My practice includes drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements, licenses, leases, vendor and service agreements, and other business arrangements. Licensed in Nevada, California, New York, and Texas, I also hold an Executive MBA. My goal is to serve as practical, long-term outside counsel to small businesses and entrepreneurs that value responsiveness, sound judgment, and advice grounded in commercial realities - not merely technical legal answers. I handle disputes when necessary, but much of the value I bring lies in identifying issues early, preserving business relationships, and preventing avoidable conflicts. I do not bill separately for routine phone calls. I want clients to feel comfortable calling before a small concern becomes an expensive problem, and I am always happy to have an initial conversation to see if the fit is right for you. www.linkedin.com/in/maxkelner

"Daron was excellent for helping with my prenup! He was incredibly responsive and worked with me when we had to make last minute changes to our plan due to the other party’s lawyers making some big mistakes, which Daron was able to correct! He was also great about explaining the process in simplified terms that I could understand."

International Contract
California
What legal protections exist for me as a small business owner in the United States entering into an international contract?
As a small business owner in the United States, I am considering entering into an international contract with a supplier based in a different country. I am concerned about the potential risks and legal challenges that may arise from conducting business across borders. I want to know what legal protections exist for me in terms of contract enforcement, dispute resolution, and intellectual property rights, as well as any other important considerations I should be aware of before entering into an international contract.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you so much for coming to the site. So the contract itself is going to be the most important piece of protection. The law doesn't provide for specific protections for individuals or businesses entering into international agreements, but the contract itself, and its terms, are what you need to pay close attention to. If you are selling goods, then there are some rules that help clarify what AI said earlier. The first is the Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (called the CISG). The CISG applies automatically if both parties to the contract are located in countries that have adopted the treaty unless the parties specifically agree to opt out of it. It covers many aspects of a sales contract, such as the obligations of the buyer and seller, delivery of goods, payment, breach of contract, and remedies for non-performance. In other word, the CISG is kind of like a default set of rules for cross-border contracts unless you opt out of it, so knowing whether it helps or hurts your position is worth looking into. When it comes to intellectual property, be proactive. Just because you’ve got protections in the U.S. doesn’t mean they automatically apply abroad. Consider registering trademarks or patents in the country where your supplier is based to prevent them from using your intellectual property without permission. So what do I recommend you do? 1. Put in the contract what state is going to be the state for lawsuits (e.g. California); 2. Put it in writing! We can draft it up for you just let us know!

Coaching Agreement
California
Can a coaching agreement be terminated early if the coach fails to deliver the promised services?
I entered into a coaching agreement with a coach who promised to provide me with specific coaching services, but after a few sessions, it became clear that the coach was not delivering on those promises. I am now considering terminating the agreement early, but I am not sure if I have the legal right to do so or if I would be entitled to any refunds or compensation for the services not rendered.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry for this situation. Generally, the answer to your question is yes. Why? A breach of contract simply means that one party was obligated to perform and they have either not performed or have said that they will not perform. (Restatement (Second) of Contracts.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. In other words, if you aren't getting the coaching for which you paid, you can pursue one of those remedies. We are more than happy to review the contract for you to verify. Best of luck! Dolan

Cease and Desist
California
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.

Demand Letter For Payment
California
HI, being a freelancer and independent contractor( 1099) in CA, can I send a collections notice for non payment to client?
I am an independent contractor and freelancer in San Diego, California. I am a sole proprietor who offers training and consulting services. I use a contract agreement with my clients. Even after signing my contract, this client is unwilling to compensate me for the hours I spent working on his project. I would like to send this client a collections notice for non-payment. I would appreciate knowing the process. Thanks in advance
Matthew S.
Yes, you can send such a notice for nonpayment. I would send one in the form of a demand letter.

Private Placement Memorandum
California
Can you explain the legal requirements and implications of a Private Placement Memorandum?
I am currently in the process of raising capital for my startup through a private placement offering, and I have been advised to prepare a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) to provide potential investors with information about the investment opportunity. However, I am unsure about the legal requirements and implications of the PPM, such as the necessary disclosures, potential liabilities, and how it interacts with securities laws, and I would appreciate your guidance on this matter to ensure I am in compliance with all relevant regulations and protecting the interests of both my company and potential investors.
Dolan W.
Hello! As you may know, the PPM serves as both a disclosure document and a protective measure, detailing specific aspects of the offering to help investors make informed decisions and shield your company from potential liability by clarifying risks, terms, and limitations. Legally, the PPM is governed by federal and state securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, which mandates that companies raising capital through private offerings adhere to specific disclosure obligations. To answer your question, a well-drafted PPM outlines the company’s business model, financials, potential risks, the structure of the offering, and any legal factors that might affect the investment. Disclosures typically cover the company’s financial status, market risks, management team, use of proceeds, investor rights, potential tax implications, and limitations on the transfer of securities. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exempts private placements from full registration requirements through Regulation D, which contains rules such as Rule 506(b) and 506(c). Rule 506(b) allows you to raise funds from an unlimited number of accredited investors and up to 35 non-accredited investors, provided no general solicitation occurs. Under Rule 506(c), general solicitation is permitted but only accredited investors can participate, and their status must be verified. Best of luck and let us know what we can do to help! Dolan
