Business Legal Questions and Answers
Business
C Corp
Texas
C corp legal requirements?
I am planning to start a business and am considering a C corporation structure. I am looking for information on the legal requirements associated with setting up and operating a C corporation. I would like to know what documents I need to file, what taxes I will need to pay, and what other regulatory requirements apply.
Wendy C.
Texas Secretary of State has a ton of helpful resources, including what documents to be filed, what taxes to be paid, and others. With regards to applicable law or which regulators your business will be subject to, you may want to discuss the nature of your business with your preferred counsel. You should also look into the duties/responsibilities of owning or holding a certain position in your company. There are also post-obligations or tasks that the company has to undertake after being registered, like adopting your Bylaws and naming your officers/directors/c-level executives.
Business
Shareholders Agreement
Connecticut
How does a shareholders agreement work?
I am an individual looking to start a business with several other partners. We are in the process of forming a company and want to ensure that everyone is on the same page in terms of expectations and responsibilities. We are considering a shareholders agreement, but I am unsure how it works and how it will affect our business. I would like to get a better understanding of how a shareholders agreement works and how it can be beneficial to our business.
Thomas L.
A shareholders' agreement generally provides specified outcomes on issues that require a stockholder vote. Thus, who is on the board of directors, the sale of the company, and other major issues like that. The agreement requires that the stockholders vote in the agreed upon manner to enforce the agreement.

Service Contract
New York
Do I need to sign every page of a contract?
I am a legal intern and I have a query. Last week I recieved two Service Agreement contracts from two different content agencies. My company has decided to work with them and I was asked by a colleague today that is it important to get signatures on all the pages by both the parties or if they sign the last page is that enough? I was confused and I said get the signatures on the last page of the agreement that will be fine. Today I recieved both the agreements from the agencies and one agency has signed the last page and the other one has signed all the pages.
Jane C.
An attorney would have to review the agreements.

Dental Associate Contract
North Carolina
Dental associate contract practice sale clauses?
I am a dental associate looking to purchase a practice from a retiring dentist. I am in the process of reviewing the contract and have some questions about the sale clauses. I am concerned about the terms of the sale and would like to understand the implications of certain clauses in the contract.
Shelia H.
Here are a couple of items you should pay close attention to: 1. Be clear about what you are purchasing. There should be an itemized list of personal business property. You will also want to make sure that you have included digital and intellectual property assets. For each item, you will want to make sure that there are no liens on the property and that no one else has any ownership interest in the property. 2. Be clear about any non-compete provisions that you need to have in the agreement. The last thing you want is for the seller to open a competing office or become an investor in a competing practice that's right across the street from you and have your anticipated clients move to the new practice. You need to pay particular attention to how this provision is crafted, given that there are major concerns about restrictions such as non-competes. Additionally, some states have already banned non-competes for employees who are doctors, and the Federal Trade Commission is expected to vote on new rules concerning non-competes in 2024. 3. Thoroughly research and analyze the profit and loss statements, taxes, and employment records. Make sure you understand the cash flow of the operation. It's best to consider having an accountant review all of these documents. These are just three things to think about when purchasing any business. There are many more. Hiring an experienced attorney is one of the best things that you can do to make sure that you are assessing the risks associated with the purchase.

Book Publishing Agreement
California
Can a book agreement be terminated if the publisher fails to meet the agreed-upon publication deadlines?
I entered into a book agreement with a publishing company to publish my manuscript, and the agreement included specific publication deadlines. However, the publisher has repeatedly failed to meet these deadlines, causing significant delays in the release of my book. This has not only affected my reputation as an author but also caused financial losses. I would like to know if I have grounds to terminate the book agreement due to the publisher's failure to meet the agreed-upon publication deadlines.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and thanks for choosing contractscounsel.com! It’s super frustrating when a publisher doesn’t meet their deadlines, especially when it messes with your reputation and finances. Whether you can end the agreement depends mostly on what’s in your contract. Check to see if it says anything about what happens if the publisher misses deadlines. If the deadlines were key to the deal and their delays are considered a major breach (something that defeats the purpose of the contract), you might have a solid case to terminate. Most contracts require you to give formal notice of the problem and allow time for the publisher to fix it (a “cure period”). If they still don’t deliver, you’re in a better position to end things. If it turns out they are continually failing, this is a breach of contract. 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. I hope this helps and let us know if you need to review. Dolan
