Octavia P.

I am a graduate of the University of California Berkeley, a member of the Illinois bar and a licensed lawyer (Solicitor) of England and Wales. I actively partner directly with my clients or indirectly, as Of Counsel, to boutique law firms to streamline business practices and manage legal risks by focusing on essentials such as - business contracts, corporate structure, employment/independent contractor agreements, website terms and policies, IP, technology, and commercial related agreements as well as business risk and compliance guidance.

Melissa G.
My name is Melissa “Mel” Green and I provide legal counsel to entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small businesses that is clear, concise, and focused on the practical impact of decisions. As trusted legal counsel, I proactively identify risks, and develop effective, practical solutions that protect my clients businesses, create positive outcomes, and help mitigate legal exposure. My areas of expertise include business formation, contract law/commercial transactions, healthcare law, and intellectual property. I also provide services as an outside general counsel or “fractional general counsel”. Prior to starting my own law firm, I spent the majority of my career in-house at large and small corporations, both for profit and not-for-profit, working with senior and executive management, in addition to other stakeholders at a variety of management levels. to proactively identify and address risks, mitigate legal exposure, streamline processes, lead persuasive negotiations that are integral to ensuring positive outcomes for the organization, and deliver hands-on, spectacular client service. There came a time when I realized that individuals and smaller entities were not receiving the same level of legal support and guidance as mid-size to large companies and as a result, individuals and small businesses were not growing and sustaining on the same level. I wanted to use my expertise to provide those that were underserved by the legal market with competent counsel at an affordable price. With the increasing number of new businesses, I knew that I could make a difference to those that needed legal guidance but were putting it off in fear of “Big Law” prices. I love to “partner” with my clients, get a deep understanding of their business, develop lasting professional relationships and watch them prosper. I want to find a way to help my clients maximize the reach, value and impact of their business. Services that I have provided over the course of my career: (i) reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements (leases, MSAs and SOWs, consulting services agreements, confidentiality agreements, SaaS agreements, coaching agreements, independent contractor agreements, coaching agreements, photographer agreements, waivers and releases, licensing agreements, etc.), (ii) business formation (operating agreements, written consents, bylaws, etc.), (iii) preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries, (iv) conducting federal trademark searches and filing trademark applications/preparing trademark opinion letters after conducting appropriate legal research, and (v) general business counsel.

Cease and Desist
Illinois
I am looking for an attorney to write a Cease of Desist letter.
I had a verbal agreement with the video editor to edit a documentary. Per the video editor, the agreement was that he would edit the videos and complete the documentary, and if I liked it, I would pay him, and if I didn't like it, I didn't have to pay him. I gave him the script for an hour-long video. He completed a two hours video; he did not use the script; he put whatever he wanted, and now he wants me to pay him triple the amount of money we agreed. Now he is threatening me if I don't pay him; he will publish all the videos online and put on all social media that I did not pay him. I agreed to pay him the amount previously discussed, never said I wasn't going to pay him.

Distribution Agreement
Illinois
My manufacturer is in China, do you write contract agreements for the sales of my products?
I have a patent pending on my product. I have one product being made into a sample now with a China manufacturer. They are also developing another new product to work along with the initial product. I need an attorney to write up a contract license agreement for the sales and distribution of my products. I am in the process of developing a trademark to put all my products under.
Octavia P.
You are on the right track since a well-drafted distribution/licensing agreement(s) is absolutely essential to protect an inventor’s IP rights when outsourcing the manufacturing of proprietary products. You can post your question, as a project, on this platform to receive and compare multiple proposals from licensed attorneys who are registered and verified. Once you receive a response(s) you will be able to correspond through the platform or request a call to help with your decision to hire a particular attorney for the project. Best of luck!

Consulting Agreement
Washington
Are consulting agreements legally binding?
I am a consultant looking to enter into a consulting agreement with a client. I am wondering if consulting agreements are legally binding and what the implications of that would be for both parties. I want to ensure that I am protected and that my client is held accountable for any obligations they have agreed to.
Merry A.
In theory, all consulting (and other written agreements) are legally binding/enforceable, but in practice, it depends entirely on how an agreement is written and the understanding of the parties when they form an agreement. If you will be working on many projects, with many clients, I urge you to get assistance from an attorney in reviewing/writing any boilerplate you end up using, including choosing certain paragraphs that may change from contract to contract.

Asset Purchase Contract
Texas
Business has been sold
I sold my business in 9-2016 for $300,000 at 6% interest and received $4500 a month for payments then in January 2020 lowered the payments to $3000. How long until the note is paid off? Also the buyers now think they paid too much and want to change the amount, can they so that?
Donya G.
Hello, Everything will depend on what your contract states. If the agreement said they paid the amount they did, it would not matter if they now think otherwise but it depends on your agreement. Generally, any modifications and revisions to an agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties. This would also need to be in your agreement. How I can help - I can review your agreement and advise you on how to take next steps with the buyers. You can connect with me through the website or directly to my profile page at Donya Gordon Esq. Regards, Donya

Asset Purchase Agreement
North Carolina
Are there tax implications in an asset purchase agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and have been presented with an asset purchase agreement. Before signing the agreement, I am interested in understanding the potential tax implications related to the transaction. I want to make sure that I understand the full scope of the financial obligations I am committing to and any potential future liabilities I may face.
N'kia N.
An asset purchase agreement is generally considered a taxable transaction for the buyer. However, there are sometimes ways for the buyer to reduce its tax liability. If you are considering entering into an asset purchase agreement, you should also consider consulting with a tax professional.

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.
