I am a corporate Attorney licensed in the state of Georgia and Ghana. My professional career started in 2016 as a litigator in a private law firm in Ghana. 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. I also assisted customers and service providers in the software and technology industry by reviewing SaaS and similar contracts. Also, I helped energy utilities in the renewable energy space navigate regulatory and policy issues and establish contractual business relationships through contract reviews.

Cease and Desist

Georgia

Asked on Mar 14, 2022

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.

Answered Mar 29, 2022

If the Michael has been posting false FACTUAL statements about you or your company, despite his knowledge that they are false, and reputational harm could occur, you may have a claim against him for defamation of character. If, on the other hand, he has been posting negative OPINIONS about you or your company, that is unfortunately not illegal and therefore a cease and desist letter would have no "teeth."

Business Entity

Georgia

Asked on Mar 24, 2025

Need advice on the best business structure for my new startup.

I am in the early stages of launching a new startup and I am unsure about the best business structure to adopt. I have been researching different options such as sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, and corporation, but I am unsure which one would be most suitable for my business goals and potential growth. I want to ensure that I make the right decision from both a legal and financial perspective, so I would greatly appreciate a consultation to discuss the pros and cons of each structure and determine the best fit for my startup.

Jerome L.

Answered Apr 15, 2025

Great question—and it is wise to think through this early, as your business structure will impact everything from liability and taxes to fundraising and daily operations. Here is a brief overview of the most common structures and the factors we would consider in determining the right fit for your startup: 1. Sole Proprietorship Simplest and least expensive to form No legal separation between you and the business Offers no liability protection Best for low-risk, low-capital businesses or testing an idea 2. General Partnership Similar to sole proprietorship but with two or more owners Pass-through taxation Shared liability, which can be risky without a strong partnership agreement Generally better suited for informal ventures 3. Limited Liability Company (LLC) Popular choice for early-stage startups Offers liability protection while maintaining flexible tax treatment Easier to manage than a corporation but can still accept outside investment with proper structuring Good balance of protection, control, and simplicity 4. Corporation (C-Corp or S-Corp) Preferred structure for startups planning to seek venture capital or scale aggressively C-Corp allows for unlimited shareholders and stock classes S-Corp offers pass-through taxation but is more limited in ownership and structure More formal structure with regulatory and tax complexities What to Consider in Making Your Decision: Whether you plan to raise outside funding The level of risk and liability exposure in your business Whether you want pass-through taxation or separate business taxation How you want to structure ownership and management Your growth strategy and long-term goals If you would like, I can schedule a consultation to walk through your specific goals, evaluate your risk profile, and help determine the structure that best supports your startup both legally and financially. Let me know if you'd like to offer an early-stage startup package or keep it open-ended. This version keeps it client-focused and practical.

Asked on Jun 16, 2022

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

Asked on Apr 11, 2023

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.

Answered May 6, 2023

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).

Partnership Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

How to dissolve a partnership agreement?

I want to get out of a partnership we have with another business where we are sharing profits from products we're selling. It isn't working out and the other party isn't living up to their obligations based on what we initially discuss.

Michael M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

Usually, partnership agreements have a termination provision which addresses when and how the partnership can be terminated. Typically, termination occurs upon the vote of the partners or upon the occurrence of an event or number of years.
