My practice involves counseling businesses and individuals on a variety of contracts, such as business formation, technology/IP, real estate, leases, and even domestic relations agreements. Much of my practice is dedicated to litigation. As such, I approach contract and transactional work from a litigation perspective by advising clients of the risks involved in failing to develop proper contracts. It takes more than knowledge of the law to be a good lawyer. A good lawyer is honest and forthcoming with clients and has a counseling ethos. And, to me, a good lawyer stands in the shoes of the client when considering how to best serve that client. Whether my client is a business or an individual, I am passionate about helping my clients understand their rights, responsibilities, risks, and possibilities.

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.

Nondisclosure Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 5, 2022

Are non disclosure agreements enforceable?

I keep getting asked to sign NDAs and I'm not sure how enforceable they are?

Christopher M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

So non-disclosure agreements will typically be enforceable for a reasonable time depending on the content of the information contained in the NDA. It will really depend on the specifics of the NDA and the information released to you. Most NDAs do allow you to discuss the matters with counsel so if you are concerned about any specific agreement it would probably be best to have them reviewed by an attorney.

LLC

California

Asked on May 20, 2023

LLC and subsidiary formation?

I am in the process of starting a business and am looking to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC). I plan to have a subsidiary company, and am looking for advice on the best way to structure the LLC and subsidiary. I am also interested in learning what other legal considerations I should be aware of when setting up the LLC.

Gagandeep K.

Answered May 24, 2023

If you are interested in forming a series LLC (SLLC) in which a group of LLCs are owned in a tiered-down structure such that the top tier LLC owns the lower-tiered LLCs, then you have to from the SLLC in another state. A SLLC cannot be formed in California. You must register with the foreign SLLC with the California Secretary of State (SOS) before they start doing business in California. In California, LLCs can have one or more members. A member can be an entity or an individual. So if you are forming the LLCs in CA, then one LLC can own another LLC. There are various considerations when forming a LLC in California such as filing the appropriate documentation with the CA Secretary of State (e.g., Articles of Organization, Statement of Information), and having an Operating Agreement to govern, among other things, the LLC's business; LLC's management; members' rights, financial obligations and managerial duties; allocation of profits, losses, and distributions; tax implications; admitting new members or transferring interest; dissolution and winding up of the LLC.

Contractual Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jan 26, 2022

Hi there. My boss has me as a 1099 employee. Is she legally allowed to give us a contract that I have to sign?

I am a hairstylist. I pay my own taxes every year as a self employed person. Yet my boss sets rules and takes 50% of my commission. I have no idea if any of what she’s doing is legal.

Kristen R.

Answered Mar 8, 2022

I would need a lot more info to answer this question.. is she directing how you do your job? Is there a contractor agreement in place? Just having you sign a contract is not illegal, however.

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.
