I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2006 with a degree in Political Science, Finance, and Economics. I stayed around Champaign for law school and graduated in 2009. I then worked at a big law firm in downtown Chicago. It was boring, so I quit in early 2011. I thought that I could not be happy practicing law - I was wrong. After I quit the traditional law firm life, I began representing my own clients. I realize now that I love helping normal people, small business owners, and non-profits address a variety of legal issues. I hope to hear from you.

My name is Ryenne Shaw and I help business owners build businesses that operate as assets instead of liabilities, increase in value over time and build wealth. My areas of expertise include corporate formation and business structure, contract law, employment/labor law, business risk and compliance and intellectual property. I also serve as outside general counsel to several businesses across various industries nationally. I spent most of my early legal career assisting C.E.O.s, General Counsel, and in-house legal counsel of both large and smaller corporations in minimizing liability, protecting business assets and maximizing profits. While working with many of these entities, I realized that smaller entities are often underserved. I saw that smaller business owners weren’t receiving the same level of legal support larger corporations relied upon to grow and sustain. I knew this was a major contributor to the ceiling that most small businesses hit before they’ve even scratched the surface of their potential. And I knew at that moment that all of this lack of knowledge and support was creating a huge wealth gap. After over ten years of legal experience, I started my law firm to provide the legal support small to mid-sized business owners and entrepreneurs need to grow and protect their brands, businesses, and assets. I have a passion for helping small to mid-sized businesses and startups grow into wealth-building assets by leveraging the same legal strategies large corporations have used for years to create real wealth. I enjoy connecting with my clients, learning about their visions and identifying ways to protect and maximize the reach, value and impact of their businesses. I am a strong legal writer with extensive litigation experience, including both federal and state (and administratively), which brings another element to every contract I prepare and the overall counsel and value I provide. Some of my recent projects include: - Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements - Drafting Trademark Licensing Agreements - Drafting Ambassador and Influencer Agreements - Drafting Collaboration Agreements - Drafting Service Agreements for service-providers, coaches and consultants - Drafting Master Service Agreements and SOWs - Drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policies - Preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries - Drafting Employee Handbooks, Standard Operations and Procedures (SOPs) manuals, employment agreements - Creating Employer-employee infrastructure to ensure business compliance with employment and labor laws - Drafting Independent Contractor Agreements and Non-Disclosure/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreements - Conducting Federal Trademark Searches and filing trademark applications - Preparing Trademark Opinion Letters after conducting appropriate legal research - Drafting Letters of Opinion for Small Business Loans - Drafting and Responding to Cease and Desist Letters I service clients throughout the United States across a broad range of industries.

Real Property Legal Questions and Answers

Real Property

Quitclaim Deed

Georgia

Asked on Jun 8, 2024

Can a quitclaim deed be used to transfer ownership of a property without the consent of all parties involved?

I recently discovered that my ex-spouse, without my knowledge or consent, used a quitclaim deed to transfer our jointly owned property solely into their name. We had agreed to sell the property and split the proceeds, but they have now refused to do so, claiming full ownership. I would like to know if a quitclaim deed can be valid in this situation and if I have any legal recourse to regain my share of the property.

Jon F.

Answered Jun 11, 2024

No. You would need to have every owner sign away on their ownership. There is no way to divest people of their property without them knowing absent some kind of fraud. The quitclaim deed doing what you described in the way you described it can be challenged and should be challenged successfully.

Resolutions

New York

Asked on Jun 26, 2024

Can a resolution passed by a homeowners' association be challenged in court?

I am a homeowner in a residential community that is governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). Recently, the HOA passed a resolution that imposes new restrictions on the use of common areas, which significantly impacts my ability to enjoy the amenities provided. I believe that this resolution is unfair and may even be in violation of our HOA's governing documents. I would like to know if there is a legal recourse to challenge this resolution in court and potentially have it overturned.

Arthur S.

Answered Aug 7, 2024

HOA resolutions are generally enforceable if they are reasonable, clear and comply with state and local laws. They cannot override state or federal laws. In NYS HOAs are generally governed by the NY Business Corporation Law and NY Condominium Act. I would need to know more about the scope of the Resolution and the process used to pass it before I would be able to provided advice as to viability.

Purchase Contract

New York

Asked on Jul 27, 2024

Can a seller back out of a purchase contract after accepting an offer?

I recently made an offer on a property and the seller accepted it, and we signed a purchase contract outlining the terms and conditions of the sale. However, a few days later, the seller informed me that they have received a higher offer from another buyer and now want to back out of our agreement. I am wondering if the seller has the legal right to do so, and if not, what options do I have to enforce the purchase contract and proceed with the sale?

Arthur S.

Answered Sep 3, 2024

A contract "purchaser" has definite rights under its contract to purchase the property. The contract is binding on both parties. Every contract is different...and some do contain provisions entitling either part to terminate the contract on the occurrence of certain events or prior to the expiration of certain time period,,,,but it would be unusual for a contract to entitle a Seller to terminate in the absence of Purchaser's breach or the occurrence of a specified event. Assuming your contract (i) does not entitle your seller to simply walk away from his obligations under the contract simply because he no longer wants to sell to you (in this case, because he received a higher offer), and (ii) does not prohibit the commencement by you of a "specific enforcement" action to force your Seller to transfer title to you in compliance with the contract enforce, then, and in such event, you are entitled to commence an immediate action to specifically enforce your rights under the contract. Further, concurrently with the commencement of such action, you are also entitled to immediately file a "lis pendens" against the property pending the outcome of your action. A lis pendens is a notice to the world (filed against the property) that you have commenced an action to enforce your contract....and anyone acquiring title to the property after the filing of the lis pendens does so subject to your superior right to title acquire title. The filing of a lis pendens is a very powerful tool and effectively tells all other prospective buyers of the property that they would be doing so at their own risk.

Real Estate Sale Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Jun 13, 2024

Can a seller back out of a Real Estate Sale Agreement after signing it?

I recently entered into a Real Estate Sale Agreement with a seller to purchase a property. However, a few days after signing the agreement, the seller expressed their desire to back out of the deal. They claim that they received a better offer from another buyer. I'm wondering if the seller has the right to do this, or if I have any legal recourse to enforce the agreement and proceed with the purchase of the property.

Moss S.

Answered Jun 14, 2024

It all depends on the contingencies that are contained in the agreement. Some of those contingencies include an inspection, financing, title defects and more. I would have to review the agreement to let you know precisely what rights that you have to terminate the transaction.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Sep 7, 2023

Breaches of a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and have recently signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement. However, I am concerned that the Seller may be in breach of the Agreement, and I am seeking legal advice regarding my rights in this situation. Specifically, I would like to know what remedies are available to me if the Seller does breach the Agreement.

Moss S.

Answered Sep 22, 2023

The usual remedy for a Seller breach of a Purchase and Sale Agreement is known as specific performance. That means that you could sue the Seller to force him to complete the sale of the property. To see if there are any other remedies, I would have to review the agreement.
