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.

Ramsey T.
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.

Data Transfer Agreement
New York
New companies databases is possible?
We're a US-based company with clients around the country. We help new, small and medium businesses to grow as well. Although, we do it through marketing and sales strategies. I was wondering if an attorney is able to sell databases of companies that have recently been created in the US. What we want to do is to help these companies to grow (to be on the map, so to speak) with our strategies. I can provide more details if required. Thanks in advance
Adjckwc B.
Business formation is public record in most states in the US. Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming are exceptions. If you are looking for data on newly formed companies you can obtain the same from the Secretary of State. There are also many companies who offer data lists for sale. If you need a data transfer agreement we can assist with that as well.

Partnership Agreement
New York
What's a buy-sell clause in a partnership agreement?
I am forming a partnership with a business partner and we are in the process of creating a partnership agreement. We understand the importance of having a buy-sell clause in the agreement and we want to make sure that our interests are protected in the event that one of us chooses to leave the partnership. We are looking for more information on what this clause should include and the legal implications of it.
Damien B.
There are numerous variations of a buy-sell provision, clause or agreement. Generally, the provision is for one of the other owners (or the entity) to purchase the ownership interest of the one who has died or wants to leave the business. For example the parties enter into a buy/sell agreement to effect the purchase of the deceased partner's share upon such partner's death, to be funded by life insurance policies. There could also be an agreement for the entity itself to redeem the shares or membership interest depending on the type of entity Also, sometimes there is another type of triggering event other than an owner's death. Overall though, the buy/sell clause is a way to keep the ownership of the entity with the existing owners rather than having a third party become one of the owners of the business. So a buy-sell clause, provision or agreements alleviate the concern over what happens if a partner dies, leaves the business suddenly or retires.

Stock Purchase Agreement
New York
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.
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.
Limited Liability Company
LLC
New York
Is LLC formation state-specific?
I am looking to start a business and am considering forming a limited liability company (LLC). I have heard that the LLC formation process is state-specific, and I want to make sure that I am taking the right steps to form a LLC in the correct jurisdiction. I would like to know if the LLC formation process is state-specific, and if so, what steps I should take to form a LLC in the correct jurisdiction.
N'kia N.
LLC formation is state-specific, as there is no federal formation process. Each state can establish its own laws, including those related to state taxes, for an LLC operating there. However, an LLC must also comply with any applicable federal laws. If you have specific questions about state and federal implications of LLC formation, you might consider consulting with a knowledgeable business law attorney.

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.
