My Legal career has focused on representing businesses (corporations and limited liability companies) as general outside counsel. In this capacity, I have drafted a broad range of legal documents as well as analyzed proposed agreements drafted by the other party's attorney to the agreement for the purpose of determining the risks to which my client would be exposed. I maintained the client's minute book if no one in-house was available for that task. Additionally, if requested, I served as a general advisor to the client's executive offers and to its Board of Directors.

I help small business owners build and protect their dreams. I always thought that I would just be a litigator. Then I joined an intellectual property clinic in law school. We were helping nonprofits and small businesses reach their goals. I fell in love with the work and decided to open my own firm so I could keep helping them. When I decided to start Victrix Legal, I decided that it would be a modern law firm designed to serve professionals. It would be different from every other law firm. In my experience, my law firms are designed to promote inefficiency and reactionary lawyering. Because in most firms, you make more money when you spend more time on a project. And you lose money if your client doesn't get sued. In my opinion, that's a built-in conflict of interest. My firm is different. I use flat fees for most basic projects to keep costs predictable for you and incentivize efficiency. I offer long-term advisory plans and legal audits to prevent issues from happening. I want my clients to see me as their business partner, not just the guy they call when they are in trouble. If any of that interests you, please reach out to me. I offer free consultations. Let's set aside some time and talk about what your legal needs are.

Stock Option Agreement

New York

Asked on Jan 20, 2022

ESOP - employee share option plan

Hello! My company provide me a fixed amount ($10,000) of equity within 4 years, with 25% vested after 12 months and said "The options will have a “strike price” which is based on the market value of the Company at the time your options are issued to you." What does it mean? Will i need to pay the different price every year?

Michelle F.

Answered Feb 1, 2022

Would really need to see the documents to properly answer this question. Is the value of the equity fixed at $10,000? Typically you get a number of shares that vest (become available to you) over x amount of time. The strike price is the amount you will pay to the company to exercise the option. (Disclaimer: This is not legal advice.)

Is it possible to give advisory shares for free in the US?

We are a French startup, and in France advisory shares must be bought by the investor. We wanted to know if that's also the case in the US, because we have US investors. Thanks a lot for your precious help!

Asset Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

What should be included in an asset purchase agreement?

I am considering buying a chain of laundry mats and have been told I would need an asset purchase agreement for the legal paperwork involved. I don't believe I want to buy the business, but am not sure. I think I would just want to buy their machines and take over their leases. If this was the case, what would I need to have in an agreement?

Michael S.

Answered Oct 14, 2022

As the buyer, your preference is always to by the assets rather than the existing business entity. That way, you will have greater protection against liabilities of the business that arose before your purchase. You can also structure the deal so that you're buying only those assets you're interested in, and can carve out those assets you don't want to buy. You do want an attorney assisting you, as there are pitfalls in the process, and you want to be protected. Thanks.

Severance Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 9, 2024

Can I negotiate the terms of a severance agreement with my employer?

I have recently been informed by my employer that my position is being eliminated due to company restructuring, and they have offered me a severance agreement. However, I have concerns about some of the terms in the agreement, such as the non-compete clause and the amount of severance pay being offered. I would like to know if it is possible for me to negotiate these terms with my employer before signing the agreement.

Arthur S.

Answered Jul 23, 2024

Severance Agreements are often presented to employees as a "take it or leave it proposition": however, it has been my experience that many of the underlying provisions of these severance agreements are, in fact, negotiable. Also, as an employee, you are not without rights...a fact that is often, though reluctantly, recognized by employers. the agreements prepared on behalf of employers are often heavy handed and should not be entered into by the employee without advice of coounsel./

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.
