Answered Jan 4, 2022

Are you talking about a UCC lien? See 810 ILCS 5/9-501 et seq. for some information about fraudulent filings. The Secretary of State also has a form for an Affidavit of Fraudulent Record which you could file. Additionally, you could file a termination which is also available with the Secretary of State.

Multi-Member LLC

Ohio

Asked on Jun 22, 2024

Can you explain the process and requirements for forming a multi-member LLC?

I am currently in the process of starting a new business with two partners, and we have decided to form a multi-member LLC. We have a general understanding of what an LLC is and how it offers liability protection, but we are unsure about the specific steps and requirements involved in forming a multi-member LLC. We would like to know about the necessary documents, filing procedures, and any other legal considerations that we should be aware of in order to properly establish our LLC and protect our interests.

Paul S.

Answered Jul 12, 2024

You will need to file articles of organization with the Secretary of State of the state where you want to form the LLC. This is relatively easy. More importantly, because you will have 2 or more members, you should have an operating agreement. This is a contract between the members, detailing who the members are, what percentages of the LLC each member owns, how the LLC will be managed, how profits and losses will be allocated, and how distributions will be allocated. The operating agreement should also put restrictions on voluntary and involuntary (think divorce, death, bankruptcy) transfers of ownership, so that you don't suddenly end up with a new member that you don't want. The operating agreement is not filed with the state. You should have an experienced lawyer help you with the operating agreement, as it can be pretty complex.

Business Partnership Agreement

Texas

Asked on Sep 26, 2023

Business partnership agreement for short projects?

I am looking to start a business partnership with another individual. We are both interested in working together on short-term projects, but we want to ensure that our partnership is legally binding and properly structured to protect both of our interests. We have discussed the details of our agreement, but I would like to have a lawyer review the agreement to ensure that it is legally sound.

Jimmy V.

Answered Oct 10, 2023

In a partnership, each of you is liable for all debts of the partnership. Your personal assets are at risk if anything goes wrong. You should set up as a limited liability company. That way, only the LLC can be liable, and you will not be personally liable. To se up an LLC, you need a filing with the state, an Operating Agreement, and an Employer Identification Number from the IRS. The Operation Agreement is, in effect, a partnership agreement. I offer flat fee packages for these services. Thx. JV

Hold Harmless Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 30, 2024

Can a hold harmless agreement protect me from liability if someone is injured on my property?

I recently purchased a property with a large backyard that I plan to rent out for events such as weddings and parties. I want to ensure that I am protected from any potential lawsuits or liability if someone were to get injured during an event. I have heard about hold harmless agreements and I am wondering if having guests sign this agreement would effectively protect me from any legal consequences in the event of an injury. I want to make sure I am taking all necessary precautions to protect myself legally.

Dolan W.

Answered Nov 5, 2024

Hello! Yes. A hold harmless agreement can be an effective tool to limit your liability if someone is injured on your property during an event. When crafted correctly, these agreements require guests or renters to assume responsibility for any risks associated with the event and release you from liability for injuries or damages. However, the protection offered by a hold harmless agreement is NOT absolute, as courts may view them differently depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances surrounding the injury. For example, if an injury occurs due to gross negligence or intentional misconduct on your part, such as ignoring known hazards or failing to address unsafe conditions, courts are likely to find that a hold harmless agreement does not protect you. For instance, if there is a broken step on your property that you knew about but didn’t fix, and someone is injured, the agreement might not shield you from liability. Having guests sign a hold harmless agreement is a smart step, but it should ideally be part of a broader strategy. Best of luck! Dolan

Employment Contract

Florida

Asked on Apr 17, 2023

What's the safety policy in an employment contract?

I recently accepted a job offer from a new employer and as part of the employment contract, I need to understand the safety policy in the workplace. I understand that safety policies in the workplace are important for the protection of both employees and employers, but I am not sure of the specific details of the safety policy included in my employment contract. I would like to know what safety policies are included in the contract in order to ensure that I have a safe working environment.

Without seeing the contract, there is no way of knowing.
