My practice has involved a wide range of legal matters from commercial real estate, finance and international business transactions to litigation matters including commercial disputes, real estate, employment, and medical malpractice. 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.

Small Business Legal Questions and Answers
Small Business
Joint Operating Agreement
North Carolina
Can a Joint Operating Agreement be terminated unilaterally?
I am currently a partner in a joint venture with two other individuals, and we have a Joint Operating Agreement in place. However, due to significant disagreements and conflicts of interest, I am considering terminating the agreement unilaterally. I would like to know if it is legally possible for me to do so, and what potential consequences or liabilities I may face in such a scenario.
Christopher N.
The short answer is: it depends. The (properly drafted) document itself should discuss a dissolution of the agreement. Absent specific terms in the agreement, state contract and/or business law would control how to disolve the agreement and your partnership. We highly recommend you consult with an expereienced business or contracts attorney that can help the parties resolve their differences: beit working to reestablish or amicably disolve the relationship. Good luck.

Waiver And Release Agreement
Texas
I am a tennis coach as a side hustle in Austin, TX. Considering getting basic general liability coverage with an insurance company. If I do I would need to have my students sign a waiver. Is this something you can help with and is it absolutely necessary to have the document notarized or not?

Kelvin R.
A waiver and release of liability is a good idea. We can draft a provision for you to include in your existing agreement or as a stand alone waiver agreement. It is not necessary that waiver be notarized.
Small Business
Business Entity
Illinois
I have an LLC for rental investment. Can i use the LLC to do independent corp to corp work.
Currently employed, with investment property under LLC. Would like to do independent contract work.
T. Phillip B.
The question isn't whether you can do it, but is whether you SHOULD do it. You definitely would be able to do other work within the LLC. However, in doing so, now you active work and passive income are getting combined which would likely subject your passive income to the 15.3% self employment tax. Let me know if you have any questions on how to structure the businesses.
Small Business
LLC
Texas
What is the purpose of a Certificate of Organization?
I am in the process of starting a new business and I have been advised to file a Certificate of Organization. I understand that this document is required for limited liability companies (LLCs) and serves as proof of the company's existence. However, I would like to know more about the specific purpose of a Certificate of Organization, what information it typically includes, and any potential legal implications or consequences of not filing this document.
Phillip Z.
A Certificate of Organization as your LLC's birth certificate in Texas. When you file Form 205, you're officially creating your business and getting all the legal protections that come with it. You'll need to include some basic info: - your company name (with "LLC" in it), - who'll receive any legal papers (that's your registered agent), - where you're located, and - how the company will be managed. You must send the $300 filing fee to the Texas Secretary of State with Form 205. Just remember—without this certificate, your business isn't officially recognized. That means you could be personally liable for any business debts or legal issues, and you'll have trouble with basic things like opening a bank account.
Small Business
Liability Waiver
North Carolina
Does every participant need a liability waiver?
I am a small business owner who is planning to hold an event for a group of participants. I am looking to ensure that everyone involved is properly protected in the event of any accidents or injuries. In order to do this, I am considering having participants sign a liability waiver. I want to make sure that I have the right legal protection in place and would like to know if every participant needs to sign a liability waiver.
Shelia H.
Yes. If you are having an event, every participant needs a liability waiver. This is especially important if the event includes activities that may result in someone getting hurt. Additionally, it provides you with an opportunity to disclose the possible hazards and an opportunity for the participant to make an informed decision regarding whether to attend and participate. Finally, even if you have a waiver, you will also want to supplement the waiver with insurance that will cover your event.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
