Proficient in Spanish, I graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law, the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, and the University of Southern California. Prior to my legal career, I sought diverse professional experiences. After graduating from college, I orchestrated my own volunteering experience in southern Peru with a small non-profit organization. Later I gained valuable professional experience as part of a U.S. Senate campaign, and after that I joined the public policy team at Greater Louisville, Inc., Louisville's Chamber of Commerce affiliate. Prior to law school, I embarked on a month long excursion with the Northern Outdoor Leadership School in Alaska, which gave me a new found appreciation for sustainability.

Corporate Legal Questions and Answers
Corporate
Legal Due Diligence Checklist
New York
What is the importance of legal due diligence in the process of acquiring a business?
I am currently in the process of acquiring a small business and I have been advised by my financial advisor to conduct legal due diligence before finalizing the deal. I understand that legal due diligence involves reviewing the legal aspects of the target company, such as contracts, licenses, litigation history, and compliance with laws and regulations. However, I am unsure about the specific benefits and importance of conducting legal due diligence in this situation. I want to know how this process can help me identify potential risks, liabilities, and legal issues associated with the target company, and how it can protect me from future legal complications or financial losses.
Arthur S.
Business acquisition agreements are often entered into subject and conditioned upon t he right of the Buyer to conduct a due diligence review during an agreed upon time frame ...with the obligation of the Buyer entity to finalize the deal very much contingent upon the findings of any such due diligence review. In short, the due diligence review provides the Buyer with a comfort level that the asset it is buying is what it has bargained for. A due diligence review involves a review, without limitation, of the Selling company's books and records, existing loan/debt obligations, an inventory review, a review of independent contractor/materialmen agreements, property leases and title and judgement research. Signing a purchase contract with an appropriate due diligence provision also enables the Buyer to "tie-up" asset for the agreed price during the due diligence period..
Corporate
Letter of Intent
Texas
Can a buyer back out of a purchase agreement?
I am trying to sell my company and the buyer has gone silent. We have top terms agreed to and a LOI signed, but we have not put a purchase agreement in place yet. Can they legally back out if we have a LOI signed?
Michael S.
With the caveat that I am a Pennsylvania and not Texas attorney, most LOI's are non-binding, unless the LOI itself provides otherwise. A lawyer would need to review the LOI to determine whether the deal can be enforced. Mostly likely, however, it cannot be enforced.
Corporate
Client Service Contract
Illinois
How does a contract protect your business?
I provide services to clients and I am considering getting a contract in place for my services. What are the benefits of having one? I haven't had any disputes with customers yet but I also want to make sure I am protected.
Michael S.
With the caveat that I'm a Pennsylvania and not Illinois attorney, a contract establishes the rights and responsibilities of the parties. Whether you realize it, when you enter into a deal with a customer, you establish and oral contract. A written contract is much easier to enforce, and to prove the terms, because they are in writing. You are much less likely to run into disputes down the line. And for the most part, customers appreciate the certainty as well.
Corporate
Form 1120-S
California
Can a corporation elect to be treated as an S corporation after filing Form 1120-S?
I am the owner of a small corporation that has been filing taxes using Form 1120-S for several years, and I recently learned about the potential tax benefits of electing S corporation status. I am interested in exploring this option and would like to know if it is possible to retroactively elect S corporation status for previous tax years, or if it can only be done prospectively.
Dolan W.
Hello! Tha answer is yes. What you need to do is seek a late election using Form 2553. Your late S corp election must be filed within three years and 75 days after its proposed effective date. This means that you can do this retroactively. You can even start here with this video to figure out how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA81sVVtgp8 Best of luck!

Stock Purchase Option Agreement
New York
Is it possible to give advisory shares for free in the US?
We are a French startup, and in France advisory shares must be bought by the investor. We wanted to know if that's also the case in the US, because we have US investors. Thanks a lot for your precious help!
