Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

When asset purchase agreement vs. stock purchase agreement?

I am considering buying a business and I'm not sure what type of legal document I should use. I think I want to buy the business but I'm not sure what comes with that. The deal size is ~$100k and it is a printing company.

Michael M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

The nature of the purpose is of essential importance in any acquisition and the first decision that should be made. The 2 traditional types are either "asset" or "stock". In a stock transaction you purchase the shares of the corporation or membership interests of an LLC. In an asset sale, only assets are acquired. Each of these has major tax and liability implications that should be discussed with counsel and your cpa.

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!

LLC

California

Asked on Jun 28, 2022

LLC or S-Corp?

I am starting a public speaking consulting business with one other person. Most of our work will be done virtually and do not need an office space and will not have a physical product. We do not have investors. We have received conflicting advice about whether to form a llc or an s-corp. The s-corp has been suggested by some as the best for tax purposes, but others have warned that it is much more expensive to start and harder to maintain. What would be best for our situation?

Briana C.

Answered Jul 8, 2022

For a small service business with no outside investors, the LLC form probably offers you more advantages than the corporation. (For example, LLCs offer greater flexibility, fewer corporate formalities, and pass-through taxation which is especially beneficial in the early stages of an LLC if you have other income sources.) The S-Corp election does not affect your choice of entity (LLC or corporation). Either kind of entity can make the S-Corp election, which just tells the IRS how you should be taxed. You can form an LLC at the beginning and make the S-Corp election for that LLC in the future, if and when it makes sense (you will still be an LLC then, but an S-Corp for tax purposes only). The S-Corp election only makes sense to do once your net profits reach a certain level. The purpose of the S-Corp election is to reduce your taxes. Filing the S-Corp election is not itself very expensive, but you will need to incur the costs of running payroll. (LLCs don't have to run payroll.)

Coaching Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 30, 2024

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.

Answered Nov 1, 2024

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

Asked on Jul 28, 2021

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.

Answered Oct 1, 2021

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.
