Business Contract

Texas

Asked on Sep 23, 2023

Jurisdiction for a business contract?

I am starting a new business venture and need to create a business contract. I am unsure of which jurisdiction the contract should be written in, as my business will have operations in multiple states. I am looking for advice on which jurisdiction would be most suitable for my business contract.

Curt L.

Answered Oct 10, 2023

I most instances, I would specify in the contract that the laws of the State of your principal office and business operations apply to the contract. I would also include a mandatory local jurisdiction and local venue for the same reasons. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue are each separate concepts.

Partnership Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 17, 2023

How is the partnership agreement enforced?

I am a co-owner of a small business with a partner. We recently created a partnership agreement to outline the roles and responsibilities of each partner. We have been in business for a few months now, but I am concerned that the agreement is not being consistently enforced. I am seeking legal advice on how to ensure that the partnership agreement is being adhered to.

Damien B.

Answered Nov 21, 2023

Hello! I understand you want to know how to enforce a partnership agreement. When a signatory/party to a partnership agreement violates any of the terms and conditions contained within the agreement, the other signatory or signatories to the agreement could allege breach of contract, including breaching the covenant to act in good faith. Generally also, court have found that there is a fiduciary relationship among partners. So, another potential claim could be a breach of fiduciary duty. Generally, prior to filing of any lawsuit, courts want to see that there was a good faith effort to resolves issues prior to the filing of a lawsuit. So, if there is a way to resolve the issue without the need for litigation that could save time and money.

Earn Out Agreement

California

Asked on Nov 12, 2024

Can you explain the key provisions and potential risks involved in an Earn Out Agreement?

I am currently in negotiations to sell my small business and the potential buyer has proposed an Earn Out Agreement as part of the deal. While I understand the basic concept of an earn out, I am unsure about the specific provisions that should be included in the agreement and the potential risks involved. I want to ensure that I am adequately protected and that the earn out arrangement is fair and reasonable for both parties.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 27, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you for using contractscounsel.com! This kind of agreement can be a great way to bridge the gap if you and the buyer have different views on your business's future value, but it’s not without its headaches. Basically, it lets the buyer pay part of the sale price later, depending on how the business performs. To keep things fair, you MUST have clear rules. I think for you need to nail down what performance targets you’re using such as revenue, profit, etc., and how they’ll be calculated. Be super specific to avoid arguments. Set a timeline for the earn-out, like 2–3 years, and agree on when you’ll get paid if targets are hit. You also need protection since the buyer will run the business after the sale. You don’t want them cutting corners or making decisions that could tank your payout. If the buyer mismanages things, you’re the one who loses. I think if you have some specific actions that the buyer promises to perform that you know helps the companies stay profitable or stay legally compliant (for example), including that in the agreement makes sense. You can ask for safeguards like minimum payments, say-so in major decisions, or money held in escrow. And, of course, make sure everything’s spelled out. We can draft these agreements for you here! Best of luck!

Single Member LLC Operating Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 9, 2024

Can a Single Member LLC Operating Agreement be modified to include additional members?

I am the sole owner of a Single Member LLC, and I am considering bringing in additional members to help grow the business. However, my current operating agreement does not provide for the admission of new members. I want to know if it is possible to modify the existing Single Member LLC Operating Agreement to include provisions for the admission of additional members, and if so, what steps would need to be taken to do so legally and effectively.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 18, 2024

Yes, a Single Member LLC Operating Agreement can be modified to include additional members. This process involves: 1. Drafting an amendment to your current agreement 2. Obtaining necessary approvals 3. Updating state filings 4. Revising tax arrangements However, this transition involves several legal and tax implications that require careful consideration: - Ensuring compliance with state laws - Structuring ownership and voting rights - Addressing management changes - Navigating tax implications Given these complexities, it's advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure the process is handled correctly and your interests are protected. Feel free to reach out to me, if you'd like to discuss.
