Business Legal Questions and Answers
Business
Non-Competition Agreement
Maine
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.
I suggest you have an attorney review the terms of the non-compete.

Liquor License
Maine
Need help for a liquor license for a lounge/club
Need a liquor license asap in portland, or around. Maine.
Craig M.
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.

LLC
Washington
LLC legal requirements?
I am interested in starting a business and I am considering setting it up as a limited liability company (LLC). I want to make sure that I understand all of the legal requirements that come with setting up and operating an LLC. I want to make sure that I remain compliant with all of the applicable laws and regulations so that I can protect myself and my business.
Joon H.
Hi there, Generally speaking, "limited liability" of LLC means that no member will be personally liable for the LLC's obligations in excess of the amount that he or she contributed, or is otherwise obligated to contribute, to the LLC. In order to enjoy this liability protection, you want to make sure that you respect the boundaries and formalities of your business by: 1. Keeping your business capitalized enough to carry out its normal business functions and meet its reasonably anticipated obligations; 2. Keeping your business assets separate from your personal assets (like not using company truck to run personal errands); 3. Having separate bank accounts; 4. and following corporate formalities like keeping records of meetings, documenting important business actions, and having an operating agreement.

Business Partnership Agreement
North Carolina
Can I withdraw from a business partnership agreement?
I am currently in a business partnership agreement with a colleague, and I am considering withdrawing from the partnership. We have been in the agreement for over a year and our goals and objectives have changed. I am looking for legal advice on the steps I need to take to withdraw from the agreement, and the potential legal implications of doing so.
N'kia N.
Below is a general overview of how the process of a partner withdrawing from a partnership commonly plays out: The withdrawing partner gives written notice of withdrawal. The parties obtain business valuations to determine payout terms. The parties execute some type of withdrawal or buyout agreement that states rights, responsibilities, and restrictions (such as non-competition and non-disclosure/confidentiality), and other important terms of the deal. A partner who is considering withdrawing from the partnership should consider consulting with a knowledgeable attorney who can review the Partnership Agreement and the terms of a proposed withdrawal or buyout agreement, and either guide the partner through handling the process without representation or represent the partner through the withdrawal. Additionally, the partner might consider consulting with a tax professional regarding tax liabilities. [It is often beneficial for the partner to seek assistance from an independent attorney or tax professional, rather than one who represents the partnership or another partner.]

Articles of Organization
Missouri
how much does it cost to create a real state single member LLC?
I own a duplex that i rent in columbia MO, and i want to create an LLC
Michael V.
The state filing fee for an LLC's Articles of Organization is about $105. To draft and prepare an operating agreement would cost ~ $500 depending on who you hire. The cost of advisory services (like taxes) after LLC formation will be a little costlier depending on the complexities of the business and its owner.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
