Business Legal Questions and Answers

Shareholders Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Feb 4, 2022

Should I form a corporation around my research if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raising funding) in the next year?

Should I form a corporation around my work if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raise outside funding) in the next year? My research is computational in nature (can be done on my laptop) and doesn't require many resources.

Richard G.

Answered Feb 8, 2022

The answer to this questions to some degree depends upon your tolerance for risk. If in performing your "business" you are not exposing yourself in any way to the outside world, e.g., hiring, selling, inviting investors, etc., then you may no little to no liability exposure. However, if there is any aspect of your work that would or could develop into something which does involve others, or which is relied upon by others, then the safest path would be to incorporate or form an LLC. LLC's are more expensive to maintain in Massachusetts, i.e., $500 annually, but require less paperwork (no shares to consider, etc.). An LLC should have an operating agreement, even with a single member to clearly distinguish the member as an individual from the LLC as a company. Incorporation is more expensive in the early stages as it requires you to pay your fee to the Secretary of State (about $275), which recurs annually. It is more heavy in terms of annual meeting minutes of shareholders, and other formal documents, and can be a bit more expensive as incorporating will require a shareholder's agreement and other documentation at the outset (not repeated annually).

Business Partnership Agreement

Texas

Asked on Sep 26, 2023

Business partnership agreement for short projects?

I am looking to start a business partnership with another individual. We are both interested in working together on short-term projects, but we want to ensure that our partnership is legally binding and properly structured to protect both of our interests. We have discussed the details of our agreement, but I would like to have a lawyer review the agreement to ensure that it is legally sound.

Jimmy V.

Answered Oct 10, 2023

In a partnership, each of you is liable for all debts of the partnership. Your personal assets are at risk if anything goes wrong. You should set up as a limited liability company. That way, only the LLC can be liable, and you will not be personally liable. To se up an LLC, you need a filing with the state, an Operating Agreement, and an Employer Identification Number from the IRS. The Operation Agreement is, in effect, a partnership agreement. I offer flat fee packages for these services. Thx. JV

Partnership Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

How to dissolve a partnership agreement?

I want to get out of a partnership we have with another business where we are sharing profits from products we're selling. It isn't working out and the other party isn't living up to their obligations based on what we initially discuss.

Michael M.

Answered Oct 7, 2022

Usually, partnership agreements have a termination provision which addresses when and how the partnership can be terminated. Typically, termination occurs upon the vote of the partners or upon the occurrence of an event or number of years.

LLC

Washington

Asked on Aug 7, 2023

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.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

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.

Stock Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 3, 2023

Stock purchase agreement and board approval?

I am a potential investor in a small business. The business is offering to sell me a portion of their stock, and I have received a Stock Purchase Agreement. The Agreement does not indicate whether the sale has been approved by the board of directors of the company. I need to know if board approval is necessary in order for the Agreement to be valid.

Daniel R.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

Not necessarily. It depends on the By-Laws and Shareholder Agreements who has authority to issue stock. I would recommend a rep and warranty that they have the authority and all appropriate Approvals have been secured.

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.
