Release of Lien
Illinois
Lien on business name

Liquor License
New York
Can a liquor license be transferred to a new owner when purchasing an existing business?
I am considering purchasing an existing restaurant that currently holds a liquor license, but I am unsure if the liquor license can be transferred to me as the new owner. I have done some research and found conflicting information, with some sources stating that liquor licenses are non-transferable and others suggesting that the transfer is possible under certain conditions. I would like to understand the legal requirements and process for transferring a liquor license to a new owner in order to make an informed decision about purchasing the business.
Damien B.
Hello. This is Damien Bosoc, Esq. I have a law office in Long Island City across from Manhattan. In New York, liquor licenses are non-transferable, meaning they are issued specifically to the current owner and premises and cannot be directly transferred to a new owner. However, there is a process that allows prospective buyers to obtain a new liquor license for the business they are purchasing. While liquor licenses in New York are not directly transferable, there is an established process for new owners to obtain a license when purchasing an existing licensed business. Following the NYSLA's requirements carefully is crucial to ensure a smooth transition and uninterrupted business operations. Feel free to reach out if you would like a consultation.

Employment Contract
California
What is fixed term employment contract?
I have been given a contract that says 'Fixed Term Employment Contract'. How is this different than a normal employment contract? Is there anything I need to consider before signing this?
Michael M.
This is an agreement that has a fixed amount of years which is agreed to by the employer and the employee. These types of agreements usually have a term of say 1, 2, or 3 years and often are renewable for another fixed term
Business
Joint Venture Contract
Texas
Any tax benefits of a joint venture?
I am currently exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. While I am aware of the potential benefits of sharing resources and expertise with another company, I am also interested in understanding if there are any tax advantages to forming a joint venture. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to guide me through the potential tax benefits and implications of a joint venture.
Jimmy V.
A joint venture is a type of partnership. Unless the partnership elects to be taxed like a corporation, it is a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. In other words, there is no taxation at the company level, just at the individual level.

Demand Letter
North Carolina
Who drafts a demand letter?
I recently received a demand letter from an individual that I had a disagreement with. I am uncertain as to why the letter was sent and what actions I need to take in response. I am looking to understand who drafts a demand letter and what their purpose is in order to determine how to proceed.
N'kia N.
Virtually anyone can draft their own demand letter or have an attorney draft one on their behalf, so long as it is not for an unlawful purpose (such as harassment or extortion). The purpose of a demand letter is to "demand" that someone do or not do something. For example, one demand letter might request that the recipient make a payment. For another example, a demand letter might request that the recipient cease and desist defaming the sender. A demand letter should clearly state what the recipient is being asked to do or not do. Often, one that is drafted by an attorney will also state why. A recipient of a demand letter who is unsure about how to proceed should consult with a knowledgeable attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction. The attorney should be able to advise on options for next steps, as well as pros and cons for each. The attorney might also be willing to draft a response or otherwise assist the recipient with resolving the underlying issue.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
