I love to learn, and I love solving problems. That's why I became a lawyer, and learned to solve legal problems for individuals and businesses and help them fix things when there's a snag.

Experience involves sophisticated as well as routine corporate structuring and transactions, simple and complex litigation, and written and oral advocacy such as depositions, mediated settlement conferences, trials, appeals, written pleadings and discovery, and case strategy and analysis. Experience managing and litigating disputes between parties and negotiating settlements across the spectrum of civil litigation, including probative discovery, successful motions practice, legal research and writing, appellate practice, and legal consultation to individuals and business entities. Further experience includes digesting and monitoring updates to the legal landscape to advise clients or departments and successfully adapt policies and procedures to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations as well as to manage risk effectively.

Stock Purchase Agreement
California
Stock purchase agreement and stockholder representation letters?
I am looking to purchase a company and have been presented a stock purchase agreement. I am also required to sign a stockholder representation letter. I am looking for advice on what these documents mean, how they are connected, and what rights and obligations they create for me as a potential buyer.

Happy to discuss, but it looks like you might want to submit a formal request for bids.

LLC
Massachusetts
Can you explain the steps and legal requirements for forming a multi-member LLC?
I am currently part of a small group of individuals who are interested in starting a business together. After conducting some research, we believe that forming a multi-member LLC would be the most suitable structure for our venture. However, we are unsure about the specific steps and legal requirements involved in the formation process. We want to ensure that we are compliant with all the necessary regulations and properly protect ourselves and our business interests. Therefore, we are seeking guidance from a lawyer who can explain the process and provide us with the necessary information to successfully establish a multi-member LLC.
Richard G.
A multi-member LLC needs an operating agreement to establish the following: 1. Organization - how operations and management of the company is allocated among the members. 2. Dispute resolution - address procedures for resolving disputes. 3. Overriding default rules - Massachusetts has a State LLC statute which members may wish to overrride by tailoring specific rules to their needs. 4. Specifying ownership - specify the percentage of ownership for each member. 5. Specifying profit distribution - specify how profits and losses will be distributed. 6. Specifying accounting - specify who is responsible for accounting and record-keeping, and what accounting method will be used. 7. Specifying meeting rules - state who can hold meetings, who will take minutes, and who sets the meeting agenda. 8. Specifying member roles - specify the roles of each member, including their voting rights. The above is simply a list of some of the items that must be addressed when forming an LLC, there are typically other considerations necessary to protect both the LLC and each member's interests in the LLC> Please contact an attorney practiced at drafting operating agreements and forming an LLC with the Secretary of State's office...this is not something to do by piecing together an agreement with an internet search.

Do S-Corps have operating agreements?
I am starting an S-Corp since my accountant said it was a better tax structure. Do I need the same documents as an LLC (i.e. Operating Agreement).

Dissolution Agreement
California
What is the process for dissolving a corporation?
I am the owner of a small corporation that has been struggling financially for the past few years, and I have finally made the difficult decision to dissolve the company. However, I am unsure about the legal steps involved in the dissolution process and want to ensure that I am following all necessary procedures to avoid any potential liabilities or complications in the future. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with an overview of the process for dissolving a corporation, including any required paperwork, notifications, and potential legal considerations.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. To start, you'll need to formally decide to dissolve the company. This usually involves a resolution by the board of directors and a vote by the shareholders, with the required percentage of votes depending on your bylaws. You've got to then file final tax returns. It's also essential to properly notify your creditors that the corporation is dissolving. This usually involves sending written notice to all known creditors, providing them with instructions for filing claims against the corporation. The other step is to file the actual dissolution documents with the state. The state allows you to do this online. Dissolving a corporation can be really difficult so please consult with us for more! Best of luck! Dolan
