Joint Venture Contract

Texas

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

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.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

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.

Coaching Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 30, 2024

Can a coaching agreement be terminated early if the coach fails to deliver the promised services?

I entered into a coaching agreement with a coach who promised to provide me with specific coaching services, but after a few sessions, it became clear that the coach was not delivering on those promises. I am now considering terminating the agreement early, but I am not sure if I have the legal right to do so or if I would be entitled to any refunds or compensation for the services not rendered.

Dolan W.

Answered Nov 1, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry for this situation. Generally, the answer to your question is yes. Why? A breach of contract simply means that one party was obligated to perform and they have either not performed or have said that they will not perform. (Restatement (Second) of Contracts.) This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. In other words, if you aren't getting the coaching for which you paid, you can pursue one of those remedies. We are more than happy to review the contract for you to verify. Best of luck! Dolan

Joint Venture Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Apr 11, 2023

What are the voting rights in a joint venture?

I am looking to enter into a joint venture with a business partner. We are both making a significant investment of resources and capital, and we want to ensure that we have a clear understanding of the voting rights associated with the venture. We want to make sure that each party's interests are protected and that all decisions are made in a fair and equitable manner.

Karen M.

Answered May 6, 2023

The voting rights should be based on what the parties determine to be appropriate based on your particular teaming arrangement. You also should consider if there is any voting requirement based on an end-user for the joint venture (e.g., governmental authority may require a majority ownership by one of the joint venturers as well as majority voting rights as in the case of an 8(a) certified entity).

LLC Operating Agreement

Idaho

Asked on Jan 7, 2022

Who do I submit my operating agreement to?

I understand that for a LLC for rental property, liabilty protection, an operating agreement is good. However, once this is completed, what do you do with the agreement to ensure your protected? Does it get filed with the State of the LLC or is it something that can just be filed away at home. It seems it would need to be filed or someone could just change the agreement at home dependent on any situation that came up to protect themselves better which seem like fraud.

T. Phillip B.

Answered Jan 11, 2022

The operating agreement is just one of the many things you need to do to show that you are treating this LLC as separate from you personally. With that being said, you will put the operating agreement into a records books with other things like your articles of organization, other government filings, membership ledger, etc. Then keep it at the primary place of business.

I 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.
