Business Contracts
Consulting Agreement
North Carolina
Can I draft my own consulting agreement?
I am a small business owner who is looking to hire a consultant to help with my business strategy. I am interested in drafting my own consulting agreement, but am unsure of the legal requirements and implications of doing so. I want to make sure I am following all of the necessary legal guidelines to protect both myself and the consultant.
N'kia N.
A small business that wishes to draft an agreement for hiring a consultant should consider various legal requirements and implications. For just a few examples: 1. An agreement is not a valid and enforceable "contract" unless it contains certain essential elements. 2. Issues like ambiguity, contradiction, and vagueness in an agreement can be (and sometimes must be) interpreted against the drafting party. 3. Drafting an agreement for a person who will be providing individual services is a factor that could be used to interpret the relationship as "employment" when it was not intended to be. Since consultants are usually experts of some sort, they often make their living by providing their consulting services to numerous clients. Therefore, most consultants have their own consulting agreements to present to their prospective clients. A knowledgeable North Carolina attorney can assist with drafting, reviewing, or negotiating a consulting agreement. Even if you decide to handle a consulting agreement on your own, a legal consultation can provide guidance to help you get things started on the right foot. Good luck!

Physician Employment Agreement
North Carolina
Can a physician employment agreement be digital?
I am a physician looking to enter into an employment agreement with a hospital. I am currently in the process of negotiating terms of the agreement, and am considering the possibility of signing a digital version of the agreement. I want to know if this is legally permissible, and if there are any potential risks or considerations associated with signing a digital agreement.
Nicholas M.
The federal ESIGN Act, passed in 2000, gives full force and effect to digital signatures with the same weight as "wet" signatures. However, you should discuss this with an Attorney for your specific agreement if you are concerned. An Attorney can research your specific industry, regulations, and state statutes that may impact digital signatures or have specific requirements around digital signatures that are different from other documents.
Business Contracts
Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Are there templates for a contractor agreement?
I recently hired a contractor to complete a project for my business, but I need to create a legal agreement between us. I understand the importance of having a contract that outlines the expectations and terms of the project, but I don't have any experience with creating such an agreement. Therefore, I am wondering if there are any templates available for contractor agreements.
N'kia N.
Typically, a (bona fide) independent contractor will prepare an agreement and present it to a hiring party to sign. However, for various reasons, a hiring party might prepare the agreement instead. Although there are plenty of templates available for independent contractor agreements, it would not be wise to use a template blindly. It is important for a hiring party to understand the true nature of an independent contractor relationship. Otherwise, the hiring party could inadvertently create an employment relationship and "misclassify" the employee as an independent contractor. If you are considering creating a North Carolina independent contractor agreement, you might consider scheduling a legal consultation first. A knowledgeable North Carolina employment attorney can advise you on the legal distinctions between an independent contractor and an employee, review a template or an agreement that you create, or create an independent contractor agreement that complies with North Carolina's nuanced independent contractor rules. Good luck!
Business Contracts
Asset Purchase Agreement
North Carolina
Are there tax implications in an asset purchase agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and have been presented with an asset purchase agreement. Before signing the agreement, I am interested in understanding the potential tax implications related to the transaction. I want to make sure that I understand the full scope of the financial obligations I am committing to and any potential future liabilities I may face.
N'kia N.
An asset purchase agreement is generally considered a taxable transaction for the buyer. However, there are sometimes ways for the buyer to reduce its tax liability. If you are considering entering into an asset purchase agreement, you should also consider consulting with a tax professional.
Business Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Are templates for independent contractor agreements okay?
I am an independent contractor and am currently in the process of negotiating a new agreement with a client. I am trying to understand the implications of using a template agreement, as opposed to having an agreement written specifically for our situation. I want to ensure that I am protecting my interests and that the agreement is legally binding.
N'kia N.
Contract templates tend to follow the "Goldilocks principle." 1. The first template is too generic, so it won't likely protect many user-specific interests. 2. The second template is too specific, so it won't likely protect the interests of users outside of a specific category. 3. The third template is just right, so it is most likely to protect a specific party's legal interests. However, this template is one that an attorney created after having the opportunity to understand that party's goals and preferences. If a template was not created (or at least revised by an attorney) specifically for you, it might be best to think of it as a point of origin rather than a final product to be used as-is. Also, the independent contractor relationship is a widely misunderstood legal concept. But it is important for an independent contractor to understand how to leverage the nature of the relationship to negotiate favorable contract terms. An attorney can review, revise, negotiate, or write a contract, including an independent contractor agreement. Consult with a North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable about independent contractor relationships and able to tailor your independent contractor agreement to your specific needs.
