Contractual Agreement
Michigan
Me and my friends are planning to start a business.but using using my Friend's place..so what type of contract should I look into??
Can I draft my own contract and take it to police to stamp it after reaching my agreement with my friend,?
David H.
In most cases, contracts only need to be signed by the parties to the contract. The contract should have the key information related t the parties signing and the terms and length of the agreement to name a few clauses that need to be included. There are some contracts that need to be notarized. The police may have a notary, but your bank may also. There are many components to your question - ownership of the business, who does what in the business, business formation, is there a need for insurance to cover risks, and other items. There are tools online to help or you can use an attorney. With an attorney you will get specific assistance for your business, online it may be more generalized information you find.

Contractual Agreement
Florida
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.
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.

Demand Letter For Payment
California
HI, being a freelancer and independent contractor( 1099) in CA, can I send a collections notice for non payment to client?
I am an independent contractor and freelancer in San Diego, California. I am a sole proprietor who offers training and consulting services. I use a contract agreement with my clients. Even after signing my contract, this client is unwilling to compensate me for the hours I spent working on his project. I would like to send this client a collections notice for non-payment. I would appreciate knowing the process. Thanks in advance
Matthew S.
Yes, you can send such a notice for nonpayment. I would send one in the form of a demand letter.

Asset Purchase Agreement
Illinois
How is payment structured in an asset purchase agreement?
I am looking to purchase a business and am currently in the process of negotiating an asset purchase agreement. I would like to understand how the payment is structured in this agreement so that I can make sure that I am getting the best deal possible. I am looking for guidance on how to structure the payment in the agreement so that I am protected and can get the best outcome for my business.
Talin H.
Congratulations on purchasing a business. Payment by the buyer in an asset purchase agreement can take many forms, or a combination of forms. The simplest is 1) a lump-sum, in which the total purchase price for the business is paid upfront, or 2) installment payments, in which the purchase price is divided into multiple installments over a specified period. It is a good idea to implement some conditional provisions for payment, which provides more protection for the buyer. Options include 3) an earn-out provision, which is used when the final purchase price is contingent on the future performance of the acquired assets or business. The seller may receive additional payments if certain financial targets or milestones are achieved post-acquisition; 4)contingent payments, in which you agree on a lower base purchase price, and additional payments by buyer are made only when triggered by specific events or outcomes, such as new acquisitions or product milestones. Regardless of model used, in most cases I recommend 5) escrow, in which the buyer place a portion of the purchase price in an escrow account for a certain period of time, say 12 months, in order to cover indemnification claims and disputes that arise after acquisition, that were not disclosed or unforeseen during the due diligence process. It is crucial to have the advice of an attorney you can trust through the asset purchase process. Please contact my firm if I may be of service. www.hitiklaw.com

Employment Contract
Florida
What's the safety policy in an employment contract?
I recently accepted a job offer from a new employer and as part of the employment contract, I need to understand the safety policy in the workplace. I understand that safety policies in the workplace are important for the protection of both employees and employers, but I am not sure of the specific details of the safety policy included in my employment contract. I would like to know what safety policies are included in the contract in order to ensure that I have a safe working environment.

Without seeing the contract, there is no way of knowing.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
