Business Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
Connecticut
Can I provide services to the client company as a corporation in CT, NY and/ or PA?
I am currently employed as a Construction Manager by a manpower supplier company to their client with a one-year non-compete/ solicit clause. I identified a need for technician services and want to register as a technician service supplier to the client. Client supplier conditions require that I disclose any current work with them, which is ok. Work locations for the technician services will be Connecticut, New York, and Pennyslyvania. Can I go ahead with the registration since the service in question is different from my current role -Construction Manager versus technician?
JOSEPH L.
Whether or not you can provide services to a client company that you were assigned to by a manpower supplier company would depend on a few factors. 1. What state law applies as stated in the written agreement, which I assume is an independent contractor agreement? 2. What that state law establishes regarding the enforcement of non-compete agreements Business laws very from state to state regarding enforcement of agreements with employees and independent contracts; states don't like to restrict workers unless the restrictions are relevant and related to a defined and reasonable business purpose. 3. You may also be subject to state law based on where you live and where you are providing the services, regardless of what the written agreement states. 4. Non-solicitation language must be reviewed. Does your written agreement state that you cannot solicit them and does this company also have a non-solicit that they will not solicit you? You have to look at it both ways. 5. The exact language of the contract you signed will be very important, especially in how they defined the work you have been performing for that CLient you want to work for.

Operating Agreement
Connecticut
What is the risk in using a free template I found online for an operating agreement?
I found an operating agreement on a website. I need one and want to know if it is OK to use. I am starting an e-commerce company with my family member.

Many templates can be a great starting point, however; they may contain clauses that do not relate to your business that create unintended consequences.

What should I do? How should I proceed this situation.
Hello, I sign a sale contract to buy a dog with a purchase of travel cost. The sales person received a payment and started the process to ship the puppy. But it came a hiccup when the puppy to small to be in a crate that was not secure. The airport was trying to charge 1000 to 1500 which the sales person did not have and wanted me to pay it. I could not pay it and the sales person could not supply the crates from a local store. So we made a agreement he would pick the dog up from the airport and refund the money back. It has been 6 hours and the sales person did not refunded and now I can not get in touch with him. What should I do
Jane C.
Do you have a written agreement? Does this agreement deal with what happens in the event that either party breaches the agreement? How did you pay? If you paid by credit card, you can call and cancel payment.
Business Contracts
Joint Venture Agreement
Connecticut
Any exit strategy in a joint venture?
I am currently in a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity, but I am aware that unforeseen circumstances can arise that may require one or both companies to exit the joint venture. However, I am unclear on what exit strategies are available in a joint venture, including how assets and liabilities are divided, and how the joint venture is dissolved. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to help me understand the legal and financial considerations involved in developing an exit strategy for my joint venture.
JOSEPH L.
A joint venture, unlike a partnership, is not considered a seprate legal entity for tax purposes and does not require a seprate tax ID number. A Joint Venture Agreement, is kind of like an LLC operating Agreement entered into by two or more persons and treated as a partnership. The Joint Venture Agreement, like the operating agreement of an LLC, is the document that should explain the purpose of the joint venture and cover situations like confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-competition, fiduciary duties, if any, and the exit strategy, to name a few. The exit strategy could be dissolution of the joint venture, buyout by one or more of the parties to the joint venture, or sale to a third party. When I represent on of the parties to the joint venutre I usually start with a term sheet and go over all these items and get feed back from the parties before starting to draft the Joint Venture Agreement. https://www.josephblarocco.com/joint-venture-agreement.html

Stock Purchase Agreement
Connecticut
Stock purchase agreement and stock transfer restrictions?
I am a business owner looking to purchase a company that is currently owned by another individual. I have received a stock purchase agreement and am looking to understand the stock transfer restrictions associated with the agreement. I am hoping to understand the restrictions that will be placed on me as part of the agreement, as well as any restrictions that the current owner may have to abide by.
Thomas L.
Generally, the common restriction is a right of first refusal, meaning if you later sell the stock, you have to allow the prior owner an opportunity to buy the stock back. In contrast, you would usually impose a non-compete on the seller.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
