I attended the University of Illinois- College of Law on a full merit scholarship.

After graduation, I served as in-house counsel for one of the largest insurance companies in the world, managing thousands of cases from initial intake to trial. Upon leaving this position, I accepted a role as Legal Counsel to the Illinois Senate Minority Leader. There, I advised Senators on legislative matters, labor and employment law, and complex constitutional questions. After leaving public service, I accepted a role at a mid-size Chicago-based law firm, where I practice insurance defense and litigation. In addition to this, I also serve as outside general counsel to a food brokerage business, where I handle all of their labor and employment matters.

Business Partnership Agreement

Texas

Asked on Sep 26, 2023

Business partnership agreement for short projects?

I am looking to start a business partnership with another individual. We are both interested in working together on short-term projects, but we want to ensure that our partnership is legally binding and properly structured to protect both of our interests. We have discussed the details of our agreement, but I would like to have a lawyer review the agreement to ensure that it is legally sound.

Jimmy V.

Answered Oct 10, 2023

In a partnership, each of you is liable for all debts of the partnership. Your personal assets are at risk if anything goes wrong. You should set up as a limited liability company. That way, only the LLC can be liable, and you will not be personally liable. To se up an LLC, you need a filing with the state, an Operating Agreement, and an Employer Identification Number from the IRS. The Operation Agreement is, in effect, a partnership agreement. I offer flat fee packages for these services. Thx. JV

Business Contract

Texas

Asked on Sep 23, 2023

Jurisdiction for a business contract?

I am starting a new business venture and need to create a business contract. I am unsure of which jurisdiction the contract should be written in, as my business will have operations in multiple states. I am looking for advice on which jurisdiction would be most suitable for my business contract.

Curt L.

Answered Oct 10, 2023

I most instances, I would specify in the contract that the laws of the State of your principal office and business operations apply to the contract. I would also include a mandatory local jurisdiction and local venue for the same reasons. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue are each separate concepts.

GDPR Compliance

Florida

Asked on Feb 10, 2025

Is my website compliant with GDPR requirements?

I recently launched a website where users can create accounts and provide personal information such as email addresses, names, and payment details. I want to ensure that my website is fully compliant with GDPR regulations to protect the privacy and rights of my users. Can you review my website's privacy policy, data collection practices, and overall approach to data protection to confirm if it meets the necessary GDPR compliance standards?

Daehoon P.

Answered Feb 11, 2025

I cannot provide a definitive determination of whether your website is fully compliant with GDPR requirements without a detailed review of your actual privacy policy, data collection practices, and technical as well as organizational data protection measures. However, I can offer some general guidance. Under GDPR, your privacy policy must clearly explain what personal data you collect (such as email addresses, names, and payment details), the specific purposes for processing that data, the legal basis for doing so, and how long the data will be retained. It should also detail users’ rights—including the rights to access, rectify, delete, or restrict processing of their data—and explain how they can exercise these rights. If your website uses cookies or other tracking technologies, you need to obtain explicit, informed consent from users before deploying them. In addition, your data collection and processing practices should incorporate robust security measures to protect sensitive user information. This includes implementing data minimization principles, ensuring that data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and having clear procedures for detecting, reporting, and managing data breaches. Your website should also provide transparency about any third-party data sharing and ensure that appropriate data processing agreements are in place if external processors are involved. Given the complexity of GDPR compliance, it is advisable to consult with a legal or data protection professional who can perform a comprehensive review of your website and policies to confirm that all necessary standards are met. Please note that this information is provided for general guidance and should not be construed as legal advice.

Multi-Member LLC

Ohio

Asked on Jun 22, 2024

Can you explain the process and requirements for forming a multi-member LLC?

I am currently in the process of starting a new business with two partners, and we have decided to form a multi-member LLC. We have a general understanding of what an LLC is and how it offers liability protection, but we are unsure about the specific steps and requirements involved in forming a multi-member LLC. We would like to know about the necessary documents, filing procedures, and any other legal considerations that we should be aware of in order to properly establish our LLC and protect our interests.

Paul S.

Answered Jul 12, 2024

You will need to file articles of organization with the Secretary of State of the state where you want to form the LLC. This is relatively easy. More importantly, because you will have 2 or more members, you should have an operating agreement. This is a contract between the members, detailing who the members are, what percentages of the LLC each member owns, how the LLC will be managed, how profits and losses will be allocated, and how distributions will be allocated. The operating agreement should also put restrictions on voluntary and involuntary (think divorce, death, bankruptcy) transfers of ownership, so that you don't suddenly end up with a new member that you don't want. The operating agreement is not filed with the state. You should have an experienced lawyer help you with the operating agreement, as it can be pretty complex.

Multi-Member LLC Operating Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 11, 2024

Can a multi-member LLC operating agreement be amended without the unanimous consent of all members?

I am a member of a multi-member LLC and we currently have an operating agreement in place that was agreed upon by all members at the time of formation. However, there have been changes in the business and we need to make some amendments to the operating agreement to reflect these changes. One of the members is now refusing to give their consent to the proposed amendments, claiming that unanimous consent is required. I would like to know if it is possible to amend the operating agreement without the unanimous consent of all members, and if so, what steps need to be taken to do so legally.

Damien B.

Answered Jun 15, 2024

Hello! This is Attorney Damien Bosco. My law office is in Forest Hills, Queens County, New York City. My practice covers the New York City metropolitan area and Long Island. In some situations, I also handle matters throughout New York State. Under New York law, the requirements for amending an LLC's operating agreement are generally governed by the terms specified in the operating agreement. The operating agreement typically outlines how amendments can be made. This could require: - Unanimous Consent: All members must agree to any changes. - Majority or Supermajority Vote: A specified percentage (e.g., a majority or supermajority) of members' votes is sufficient to approve amendments. - Specific Procedures: Specific procedures or conditions under which amendments can be proposed and approved. If the operating agreement is silent on the amendment process, New York law generally defaults to requiring a majority vote for decisions unless otherwise stated. However, case law research may be necessary to confirm that a majority vote suffices for amending an operating agreement when the agreement is silent on the subject, especially if it adversely affects a minority member. In other words, although a majority vote to amend may be permissible, minority members do have some rights. A squeeze-out, also known as a freeze-out, is when a majority member of a limited liability company (LLC) takes actions to reduce or eliminate a minority member's involvement in the business It may be best for you to have a legal consultation with an attorney about this.
