LLC Operating Agreement

Florida

Asked on Aug 8, 2021

What happens to LLC when member dies?

I want to create an operating agreement that explains what happens with the business in case one of the members died. We have an LLC. We want to create an operating agreement that states how the business will keep working in case one of our members dies.

Rishma E.

Answered Aug 23, 2021

Membership interests in an LLC are considered the personal property of the interests holders. As such, you will need to include clauses in which you specifically name beneficiaries for those membership interests upon death of the interests holders. You may additionally need to include procedures for transfer (for example through membership certificates).

SAFE Note

California

Asked on Apr 18, 2025

What legal protections and risks are associated with investing in a company through a SAFE Note?

I am an individual interested in investing in a startup through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) Note, but I am unsure of the legal protections and risks involved. I would like to understand the potential advantages and disadvantages of this investment instrument, such as the rights I would have as an investor, the potential dilution of my ownership, and any potential risks or limitations that may arise in the future.

Tabetha H.

Answered May 13, 2025

SAFE Note Investment: Key Protections & Risks What is a SAFE Note? A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) provides rights to future equity in a startup without setting a current share price. Unlike convertible notes, SAFEs aren't debt - they're contractual rights to equity upon triggering events. Key Protections: Conversion rights - Automatic conversion to equity during qualified financing rounds Valuation cap - Sets maximum valuation for calculating your ownership Discount rate - Provides reduced price compared to new investors (typically 10-30%) Pro-rata rights (if included) - Allows participation in future rounds Dissolution rights - Return of investment if company dissolves before conversion Major Risks: No maturity date - Can remain unconverted indefinitely No interest - Return depends solely on equity appreciation Dilution - Ownership can be significantly reduced in subsequent rounds Limited rights - No voting rights, minimal information access, no board representation Uncertain conversion - May never convert if company doesn't raise qualified financing Tax complexity - Unclear IRS guidance on certain aspects of SAFE taxation Terms to Negotiate: Lower valuation cap and higher discount rate MFN (Most Favored Nation) provision Pro-rata rights Conversion triggers and scenarios Information/reporting rights Risk Summary: SAFEs offer minimal investor protections compared to priced rounds. Your investment could remain illiquid indefinitely with no guaranteed return. Without pro-rata rights, your ownership can be significantly diluted in future rounds.

Business Partnership Agreement

Arizona

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What to include in a business partnership agreement?

I want to learn what terms are typical in a partnership agreement. Background - I am wanting to create a partnership with an SEO agency (I provide digital ads/SEM services). I want to make sure we have the right terms around profit sharing and making sure they don't poach my clients without me getting a cut of the revenue. Any help is appreciated.

Michael S.

Answered Nov 4, 2022

I recommend hiring an experienced corporate attorney to help negotiate and draft the agreement. You can't be given a list of 3 or 5 pointers and then expect to negotiate the agreement yourself. There are too many pitfalls. And you wouldn't expect someone to come to you and ask you how they can do for themselves what you do, right? It's more complicated than that, and there's a reason you're a professional.

I 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.
