Legal services cost too much, and are often of low quality. I have devoted my law practice to providing the best work at the most affordable price—in everything from defending small businesses against patent trolls to advising multinational corporations on regulatory compliance to steering couples through a divorce.

My clients are often small and medium size technology companies, from the "idea" stage to clients who may have raised a round or three of capital and need to clean up a messy cap table. I help with all legal matters related to growth that keep founders up at night - hiring people, allocating equity, dealing with shareholders and investors, client negotiations and early litigation counseling (before you need a litigator). I've seen a lot, and because I run my own business, I understand the concerns that keep you up at night. I’ve been through, both on my own and through other clients, the “teething” pains that will inevitably arise as you scale-up – and I’m here to help you. I have over 20 years international experience devising and implementing robust corporate legal strategies and governance for large multinationals. I now focus on start-ups and early/medium stage technology companies to enable a sound legal foundation for your successful business operations. Many of my clients are international with US based holding companies or presences. My 17 years abroad helps me "translate" between different regimes and even enabling Civil and Common Law lawyers to come together. Regularly, I handle early stage financings including Convertible Notes, Seed and Series A/B financings; commercial and technology contracts; international transactions; tax; mergers and acquisitions.

Fee Retainer Agreement

New York

Asked on Jul 12, 2024

Can you explain the purpose and terms of a Fee Retainer Agreement?

I am currently in the process of hiring a lawyer for a legal matter and have been presented with a Fee Retainer Agreement. While I understand that this document outlines the lawyer's fees and payment terms, I would like a thorough explanation of its purpose and the specific terms I should be aware of. I want to ensure that I fully understand the financial obligations and protections provided by this agreement before proceeding with legal representation.

Arthur S.

Answered Aug 19, 2024

In many states, e.g. New York, Fee Retainer agreements are required by law before any legal services can be performed. As you have indicated, the base purpose of a retainer agreement is to set forth a clear description of the scope of legal services to be performed and the fees and disbursements payable in connection with the rendering of such services. The retainer agreement should also set forth the rights of both client and attorney in the event a dispute arises between them and the methodology for resolving such dispute, e.g. arbitration vs lawsuit. The retainer agreement should also set forth the right of the client to terminate, as well as the right of the attorney to withdraw from, the attorney/client relationship.

Financing Agreement

New York

Asked on Sep 1, 2024

Can refinancing my mortgage help me save money in the long run?

I am currently considering refinancing my mortgage and would like to know if this option can help me save money in the long run. I purchased my home three years ago and have been making regular mortgage payments since then. However, I recently learned that interest rates have significantly dropped since I obtained my mortgage, and I am wondering if refinancing would allow me to secure a lower interest rate and reduce my monthly mortgage payments. I am also curious to know if there are any potential drawbacks or costs associated with refinancing that I should be aware of before making a decision.

Arthur S.

Answered Sep 3, 2024

Depending on the rate differential between your current mortgage loan and the refinancing proposal, the saving in the long term can be substantilal. In the short term, the savings in debt service payments will be off-set by the cost of the refinancing, e.g. commitment and loan fees, appraisal and other underwriting costs imposed by a new lender), mortgage title fees and atty fees (taking into account you, the borrower, customarily pays the new lender's atty costs). That said, many residential lenders limit the costs to residential borrowers of the financing costs of any such refinancing),

Letter of Intent

New York

Asked on Jul 26, 2024

Can a Letter of Intent be legally binding?

I am in the process of negotiating a business deal with another party and we have exchanged Letters of Intent as a preliminary agreement. However, I am unsure if this document holds any legal weight and if it can be enforced in case of a breach. I want to understand the legal implications of a Letter of Intent and whether it can be considered a legally binding contract.

Arthur S.

Answered Aug 7, 2024

Short answer is yes...provided they contain the basic elements of a binding agreement. LOI's can be short and simple or extensive and detailed. Most often, LOIs are intended to provide a road map for the drafting of more formal, comprehensive binding agreements and contain an express a provision that they are not intended to be binding upon the parties to the LOI.

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.
