Contract Agreement
Georgia
Need to draft a personal contract
I need help to prepare a personal contract between myself and Ex-partner. We were never married before. I want to offer her compensations for her losses due to the end of our relationship and need help to write the terms and conditions and discuss legal issues.
Donya G.
OK. You need to decide what you would like the terms to be and discuss them with her. A contract is always best and easier to get done when both parties are in agreement with the terms and what the document should say. Once you have done that, then you should seek to engage with an attorney to assist you with the actual document and the language. If you you would to engage my services where I would draft your agreement and advise you, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website and I would be happy to assist.

Business Purchase Agreement
Georgia
Are non-competes part of a business purchase agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and need to know if a non-compete agreement is part of the purchase agreement. I understand that the non-compete agreement will help to protect my business from competition but I am not sure if this is included in the purchase agreement. I also need to know the implications of including a non-compete agreement in the purchase agreement.
Bobby H.
Many purchase agreements do include non-competes, which are typically geographically limited and limited in terms of duration. The implication for the seller is straight forward. As a practial matter, the buyer benefits from a non-compete because it limits competion from the seller for business within the community in which the buyer will operate following the purchase of the business, or competition from the seller over the same potential customers, which aids profitability.

Repurchase Agreement
Georgia
Can you explain the legal implications of a repurchase agreement?
I am a small business owner and I recently entered into a repurchase agreement with a supplier for excess inventory. However, I am now facing financial difficulties and I'm unsure about my obligations and rights under this agreement. I would like to understand the legal implications of a repurchase agreement, such as the terms and conditions, potential consequences for defaulting, and any options I may have in renegotiating or terminating the agreement.
Jerome L.
Hi there, A repurchase agreement (often called a "repo") is a contractual arrangement where one party agrees to sell goods—like inventory or assets—with a promise to buy them back at a later date under specific terms. These agreements are commonly used to manage inventory, liquidity, or cash flow. Here is what you need to understand about your rights and obligations: Key Legal Implications of a Repurchase Agreement: Binding Commitment to Repurchase: If you signed a repurchase agreement, you are likely legally obligated to buy the inventory back under the agreed terms—regardless of your current financial position—unless the agreement provides exceptions. Review the Terms Carefully: Look closely at: Repurchase price and timeline Conditions that trigger the repurchase Default provisions or penalties Any security interests or liens the supplier may have on your other property Consequences of Defaulting: Defaulting on the agreement could expose you to: Financial penalties Loss of future credit terms Legal action for breach of contract Damages or collection efforts from the supplier Negotiation May Be Possible: If you're facing hardship, many suppliers may be open to: Renegotiating payment terms Extending the timeline Releasing you from the agreement in exchange for a settlement or return of inventory Termination & Exit Options: Review the agreement for any termination clause or early exit provisions. Some agreements allow for cancellation with notice or mutual consent. Mitigating Future Risk: Moving forward, you may want to include: Force majeure clauses Hardship provisions Caps on repurchase liability I recommend reviewing the agreement with a contract attorney to explore all options and ensure your rights are protected. If you would like help assessing the agreement and negotiating a path forward, I would be glad to assist. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Business & Commercial Contracts Attorney

Renovation Contract
Georgia
Can a contractor change the terms of a renovation contract without my consent?
I recently hired a contractor to renovate my home, and we signed a contract that outlined the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms. However, the contractor has now informed me that they want to make changes to the contract, including increasing the cost and extending the timeline. I did not agree to these changes and I'm wondering if the contractor can unilaterally modify the terms of the contract without my consent.
Jerome L.
Hi there, No—a contractor cannot legally change the terms of a renovation contract without your consent. A contract is a mutual agreement, and any changes to the scope of work, payment terms, or timeline must be agreed upon by both parties to be valid and enforceable. That said, here is what you should consider: Your Rights as a Homeowner: No Unilateral Modifications Allowed: Contractors do not have the legal authority to raise prices or alter timelines without your express written consent. Any legitimate changes should be presented as a change order—a document detailing the proposed adjustments that you must approve before work continues. Assess Whether the Change Serves Your Best Interest: While unexpected changes can be frustrating, it is important to consider why the contractor is proposing modifications. Sometimes, issues arise during renovation that were not visible or discoverable when the original contract was signed—such as hidden structural damage, plumbing defects, or code violations. In these cases, completing the job correctly may require addressing these issues now, which can impact both the timeline and total cost. Though inconvenient, these adjustments may ultimately benefit you by ensuring the job is done thoroughly and avoids future complications. Contractor Must Clearly Justify the Change: If additional work is necessary, the contractor should be able to clearly explain: What was discovered Why it was not known initially Why the original scope of work cannot be completed without addressing it This explanation should be provided in writing along with an updated scope and pricing breakdown. You Still Control the Agreement: Even if the contractor makes a reasonable request, you are not obligated to accept. You can negotiate the terms, request a second opinion, or consult an attorney before moving forward. You May Have Legal Remedies if the Contractor Proceeds Without Approval: If the contractor insists on changing terms without your consent or threatens to stop work, they may be in breach of contract, and you may have legal grounds to: Withhold payment Terminate the contract Recover costs associated with hiring a replacement contractor A good contractor communicates openly, presents clear documentation, and works with you—not against you. If you need help reviewing the contract or assessing the proposed changes, I would be happy to assist. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Home Renovation & Consumer Protection Attorney
Business Contracts
Business Purchase Agreement
Georgia
How are contracts transferred in a business purchase agreement?
I am looking to purchase a business and am in the process of signing a purchase agreement. I am trying to understand the details of how the contracts related to the business are transferred, and am seeking advice from a lawyer to ensure that the process is properly handled. I am hoping to get a better understanding of the legal implications of the transfer of contracts in the purchase agreement.
Bobby H.
At the closing of the purchase, you will likely sign a Bill of Sale tranferring the assets of the business, and an Assignment and Assumpition agreement transferring or assigning any rights and responsibilites related to any contracts to which the business is a party to. The purchase agreement will likely have a due diligence period in which the seller provides access to the buyer to examine the books of the business and assets including any contracts related thereto and a provision allowing the buyer to cancel or terminate the sale within a certain period time following expiration of the due diligence period.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
