Non-Competition Agreement

Maine

Asked on Jul 25, 2022

Can an consultant to a company be asked to sign a Non-Compete Agreement when that company is being acquired by another company.

My husband is a consultant for a company that is being acquired by another company. The acquiring company no longer needs his services. The acquiring company is asking my husband to sign a non-compete for nothing in return. They stated that he is not an employee of the company being acquired, so financial consideration is not on the table. The acquiring company is in Maryland. The company being acquired is in Maine. Is this legal?

Jane C.

Answered Aug 12, 2022

I suggest you have an attorney review the terms of the non-compete.

Liquor License

Maine

Asked on May 13, 2022

Need help for a liquor license for a lounge/club

Need a liquor license asap in portland, or around. Maine.

Craig M.

Answered May 17, 2022

It is a multi-step process to obtain a liquor license in Portland, Maine. You must obtain approval from the City, after first obtaining approval from the Code Enforcement Officer, Public Services, Fire, Health Services, Treasury, and Police. You may also need to create an LLC or other business entity, register with the Secretary of State, obtain an EIN, among other things. I can assist at my normal hourly rate of $200, and would require a $5000 legal advance, payable through Contracts Counsel to assist. The fee Contracts Counsel charges is nonrefundable, otherwise, itemized invoicing will be periodically provided, and any unearned fees will be reimbursed to the client at the end of the project.

What is the most important thing for me to know as a small business?

I am starting my own business.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 31, 2021

Never sign a contract without a lawyer reviewing it. Signing a document and being obligated to a contract that has not been reviewed can be detrimental to your business. If you and the other party disagree on the agreement, it will cost approximately 5-10 times more to litigate and defend yourself than it would cost to review the initial document and ensure you and your company are protected. DISCLAIMER The answers to these questions do not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with the attorney and anyone who reviews these responses.

Single Member LLC Operating Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 9, 2024

Can a Single Member LLC Operating Agreement be modified to include additional members?

I am the sole owner of a Single Member LLC, and I am considering bringing in additional members to help grow the business. However, my current operating agreement does not provide for the admission of new members. I want to know if it is possible to modify the existing Single Member LLC Operating Agreement to include provisions for the admission of additional members, and if so, what steps would need to be taken to do so legally and effectively.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 18, 2024

Yes, a Single Member LLC Operating Agreement can be modified to include additional members. This process involves: 1. Drafting an amendment to your current agreement 2. Obtaining necessary approvals 3. Updating state filings 4. Revising tax arrangements However, this transition involves several legal and tax implications that require careful consideration: - Ensuring compliance with state laws - Structuring ownership and voting rights - Addressing management changes - Navigating tax implications Given these complexities, it's advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure the process is handled correctly and your interests are protected. Feel free to reach out to me, if you'd like to discuss.
