Subsequently in 2018, I moved in house to work for the University of Ghana and this is where my corporate transactional work experience began. Since coming to the US in 2019, I have gained significant transactional experience through internships at Verizon and Tricentis (a software testing company) during law school at UGA. Since graduating from UGA law school, I have worked as a corporate transactional attorney of an AmLaw 200 firm. In that role, I helped foreign companies entering the US market to establish a presence and comply with applicable corporate laws while doing business.

What would an individual hoping to start small businesses with no funding now need in a loyal and sincere legal professional?
I am a woman who have varied ideas for businesses and who needs to have a cost line item for a good lawyer who can handle my needs (which I may not know now) in starting a consulting business in managing projects, travels, speech deliveries - story telling, and may be, some property deals among others. I am also one who have a nonprofit that needs guidance. I may be the focus brand but with for profit and nonprofit organization biases. How do i proceed with inclusion in my proposed budget for a reasonable, fair and loyal legal professional who can grow with me and stay on me for progress? I can also become internationally business minded. Costing please?

Joint Venture Agreement
Georgia
What are the voting rights in a joint venture?
I am looking to enter into a joint venture with a business partner. We are both making a significant investment of resources and capital, and we want to ensure that we have a clear understanding of the voting rights associated with the venture. We want to make sure that each party's interests are protected and that all decisions are made in a fair and equitable manner.
Karen M.
The voting rights should be based on what the parties determine to be appropriate based on your particular teaming arrangement. You also should consider if there is any voting requirement based on an end-user for the joint venture (e.g., governmental authority may require a majority ownership by one of the joint venturers as well as majority voting rights as in the case of an 8(a) certified entity).

Cease and Desist
Georgia
When to send a Cease and Desist Letter?
I am a small business owner (retailer), and had a long time staff member (Michael) develop a drinking problem. He felt comfortable enough to come to work intoxicated on a few occasions putting the rest of the staff and my business at risk. He was a supporting manager and had keys to the store. One day he had to be driven home from work because he was too inebriated. Another staff member who drove him to his home gave him a couple of days to come clean to me before she would tell me what happened. He never told me even though i gave him every opportunity to do so. So I had a meeting with him and explained that I was disappointed and wanted to help him, but my business and family had to be protected as well so I took his keys and title away while keeping him employed and at the same pay rate. I did this in hopes that he would get some help and didn't have to worry about being unemployed. Then Covid hit. Had to shut down for a little while. I kept in communication with my team (including Michael) throughout. Everyone responded except Michael. When it was time to re-open I asked everyone to respond letting me know if they were coming back to work. Everyone responded except Michael. Never heard from him again. So, I terminated him under "job abandonment". He then went to work at another local shop, and so I was happy for him and went on with my life and business. A couple of weeks ago I started to get some messages from mutual friends asking me what Michael was posting about on Facebook and other platforms and it turns out he has been posting derogatory comments (all lies) about how we treated him horribly and these could affect my business. None of our staff members can see these posts directly because he has blocked us all. We have, however, been receiving screenshots from mutual friends. Again, this went down over two years ago! I kept him employed I paid him through the pandemic including doing his unemployment paperwork weekly. I didn't fire him. He chose not to come back to work I demoted him and kept him at the same pay rate I tried every way that I could to help him find help I simply want this to stop as I did nothing wrong and did much more than any other employer would have. His parents are enablers and are probably behind this.

Hello, In Georgia, defamation consist of producing a false and defamatory statement about another. Libel consists of writing (via text, social media, or even through a review) a false and malicious defamation of another, expressed in print, writing, pictures, or signs, tending to injure the reputation of the person. Finally, slander of (oral defamation) occurs by making charges against another in reference to his trade, office, or profession, calculated to injure him therein; or uttering any disparaging words productive of special damage which flows naturally therefrom. You can write a letter to your former employee outlining the law and describing how they defamed you and your business. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me and set up a consultation. Thanks, Meghan K Thomas, Esq

LLC and member liability?
I am interested in forming a limited liability company (LLC) and am seeking legal advice regarding the protection of my assets and the liabilities of the LLC members. I am concerned about the potential risks associated with being a member of an LLC and would like to understand what kind of protection I can expect.
Gagandeep K.
In general, there are benefits and drawbacks in the LLC structure so it is important to weigh these in deciding if an LLC makes the most sense for your business. Some of the benefits to the LLC structure are limiting personal liability, tax advantages, and flexibility in the structure, among others. There are also some limitations to the LLC structure such as in raising investment and limitation on liability protection. You can learn more about the LLC structure, protections, and risks here https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/g/us/llc/13. For specific questions about an LLC structure as it applies to you business, please consult an attorney.

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.
