Nondisclosure Agreement

Should I use a one-way or mutual NDA?

LLC or S-Corp?
I am starting a public speaking consulting business with one other person. Most of our work will be done virtually and do not need an office space and will not have a physical product. We do not have investors. We have received conflicting advice about whether to form a llc or an s-corp. The s-corp has been suggested by some as the best for tax purposes, but others have warned that it is much more expensive to start and harder to maintain. What would be best for our situation?
Briana C.
For a small service business with no outside investors, the LLC form probably offers you more advantages than the corporation. (For example, LLCs offer greater flexibility, fewer corporate formalities, and pass-through taxation which is especially beneficial in the early stages of an LLC if you have other income sources.) The S-Corp election does not affect your choice of entity (LLC or corporation). Either kind of entity can make the S-Corp election, which just tells the IRS how you should be taxed. You can form an LLC at the beginning and make the S-Corp election for that LLC in the future, if and when it makes sense (you will still be an LLC then, but an S-Corp for tax purposes only). The S-Corp election only makes sense to do once your net profits reach a certain level. The purpose of the S-Corp election is to reduce your taxes. Filing the S-Corp election is not itself very expensive, but you will need to incur the costs of running payroll. (LLCs don't have to run payroll.)

How to amend details after LLC formation?
I recently formed a LLC for my business and I am now looking to make some changes to the details of the LLC. I am unsure of the process of making these amendments and am seeking advice on how to go about making these changes legally.
N'kia N.
Making changes to certain aspects of a North Carolina LLC is usually not very difficult, particularly if the LLC is recently formed. For example, if the desired changes are related to the LLC's Articles of Incorporation, filing amended Articles will likely be sufficient. Similarly, if the desired changes are related to the LLC's Operating Agreement, signing an amended Agreement will likely be the key. The processes for making other types of changes will vary based on the specific facts. When making changes to any aspect of a North Carolina LLC, it is important to comply with the LLC's operating agreement, the LLC statute, and other applicable laws. For legal advice on making changes to your North Carolina LLC, you should consider consulting with a knowledgeable business or corporate attorney. Good luck!

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.]

Software Agreement
California
Can a SaaS company terminate and agreement with a client?
We are a SaaS company that wants to get out of a relationship with a client. What are our options?
Christopher M.
Typically your options are going to be controlled by the SAAS Agreement or other contracts between you and the client. There should be a section in there called “Termination” or something similar. Really, it would require a review of the contract to give more specific advice on this one.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
