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
Option Grant Agreement
California
What is 'strike price' in my employee stock option agreement?
Want to learn more about the agreement that is being presented to me. There is a 'strike price' that I am suppose to pay?
Michael M.
The strike price is defined as the price that the employee can exercise his/her options at. For example, if the strike price is $1.00, at the point the 100s options have vested, the aggregate amount owed to exercise would be $100.00
Business
LLC
California
LLC and subsidiary formation?
I am in the process of starting a business and am looking to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC). I plan to have a subsidiary company, and am looking for advice on the best way to structure the LLC and subsidiary. I am also interested in learning what other legal considerations I should be aware of when setting up the LLC.
Gagandeep K.
If you are interested in forming a series LLC (SLLC) in which a group of LLCs are owned in a tiered-down structure such that the top tier LLC owns the lower-tiered LLCs, then you have to from the SLLC in another state. A SLLC cannot be formed in California. You must register with the foreign SLLC with the California Secretary of State (SOS) before they start doing business in California. In California, LLCs can have one or more members. A member can be an entity or an individual. So if you are forming the LLCs in CA, then one LLC can own another LLC. There are various considerations when forming a LLC in California such as filing the appropriate documentation with the CA Secretary of State (e.g., Articles of Organization, Statement of Information), and having an Operating Agreement to govern, among other things, the LLC's business; LLC's management; members' rights, financial obligations and managerial duties; allocation of profits, losses, and distributions; tax implications; admitting new members or transferring interest; dissolution and winding up of the LLC.
Business
Partnership Agreement
California
How to dissolve a partnership agreement?
I want to get out of a partnership we have with another business where we are sharing profits from products we're selling. It isn't working out and the other party isn't living up to their obligations based on what we initially discuss.
Michael M.
Usually, partnership agreements have a termination provision which addresses when and how the partnership can be terminated. Typically, termination occurs upon the vote of the partners or upon the occurrence of an event or number of years.
Business
H-1B Visa
California
Can an H-1B visa holder start a business in the US?
I am currently in the United States on an H-1B visa and I have been considering starting my own business. However, I am unsure if it is legally permissible for an H-1B visa holder to do so. I have heard conflicting information and want to understand the specific regulations and requirements that apply to H-1B visa holders who wish to start a business in the US.
Christopher N.
The short answer is: likely yes. The issue of your visa and owning a business are mutually exclusive. HOWEVER, you H1B visa is sponsored by your current employer, if you leave that employment without another visa, you have to leave the country. I HIGHLY recommend you speak with an immigration AND a business attorney to determine how the two issues may conflic, or how you can thread the needle so as to avoid issues on both matters. Good luck.

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.
Alen A.
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.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
