Business Contracts
Business Partnership Agreement
North Carolina
Multilingual business partnership agreement?
I am looking to enter into a business partnership with a foreign partner and we would like to ensure that both parties are aware of the terms of the agreement. We want to make sure that the agreement is in our native language as well as the language of our partner in order to ensure that both parties have the same understanding of the agreement. We are looking for advice on how to draft a multilingual business partnership agreement.
N'kia N.
Generally speaking, contracts should be in a language that all the parties understand. However, many legal terms do not have exact translations in other languages. Therefore, many businesses that use multilingual contracts will identify one language as the contract's "official" language. Anyone who is considering using a multilingual business contract, including a business partnership agreement, should also consider using translators who are well versed in "legalese" in the languages to be used in the contract.

Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
Can I set performance metrics in the contractor agreement?
I am a small business owner who recently hired an independent contractor to help with some of my projects. I want to ensure that the contractor is held accountable for their work, so I am looking to set performance metrics in the contractor agreement. I am hoping to find out the legalities of doing so and what kind of metrics are legally allowed to be included in the agreement.
N'kia N.
A business that hires an independent contractor should be careful not to confuse an independent contractor relationship with an employment relationship. Treating an independent contractor like an employee can result in the law ultimately determining that the contractor is actually a "misclassified" employee. In North Carolina, "performance metrics" typically apply to employees, not independent contractors. This is because the "independent" in "independent contractor" means that the hiring party does not "control" (manage, monitor, supervise, etc.) the contractor like it would an employee. The hiring party is entitled to hold the contractor accountable for the results that it hires the contractor to achieve. However, the independent contractor is entitled to determine the manner, means, and methods of achieving the desired results. With that all being said, it is important for the parties to an independent contractor relationship to have clear expectations. An independent contractor agreement should outline the essential terms and conditions of the engagement. These might include such terms as definitions of the deliverables, deadlines for the deliverables, remedies for the independent contractor's failure to produce the deliverables by the agreed-upon deadlines, and special considerations. A knowledgeable North Carolina attorney can advise on the legalities of the proposed terms and conditions of an independent contractor relationship that is to be governed by North Carolina law.

What about confidentiality in the contractor agreement?
I am an independent contractor and I recently entered into an agreement with a company for a project. The agreement does not contain any language regarding confidentiality or non-disclosure, and I am unsure what legal protection I have regarding the confidential information I may be exposed to during the project. I am looking to understand what legal protections I have regarding confidentiality in the contractor agreement.
N'kia N.
While an independent contractor agreement is not absolutely required to include terms and conditions regarding confidentiality, including such terms and conditions can help protect both the hiring party and the contractor. An independent contractor agreement that does not address confidential information can potentially exposes the contractor to unnecessary risk and liability. For example, the hiring party could claim that the contractor improperly disclosed or used its confidential information, although the parties have not agreed to what would constitute improper disclosure or use. If you have already signed an independent contractor agreement, you can attempt to negotiate an amendment to the agreement. A North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable in independent contractor agreements and confidentiality clauses should be able to advise about amendments or even help negotiate additional or amended terms and conditions.

Independent Contractor Agreement

Are NDAs part of independent contractor agreements?
I am a small business owner and I have been asked to sign an independent contractor agreement. I am curious to know if non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are included in such agreements or if they are separate documents. I am interested in understanding my legal obligations and responsibilities in this situation.
N'kia N.
A non-disclosure agreement (sometimes called an "NDA," a "confidential disclosure agreement," or a "CDA") is a common component of an independent contractor agreement. Whether it is included in the independent contractor agreement or is a separate document does not, in and of itself, affect the enforceability or validity of an NDA. However, it must be clear how a separate NDA is part of an overall deal. An independent contractor with a valid and enforceable NDA is obligated to comply with its terms and conditions. For example, the NDA might prohibit the independent contractor from disclosing confidential information to others or might require the independent contractor to comply with certain standards for maintaining confidentiality. An independent contractor who violates an NDA could be liable to the other party for monetary damages. For example, the NDA might require the contractor to pay the other party a predetermined amount of money or a court could order the contractor to pay the other party another amount. A North Carolina attorney who is knowledgeable of independent contractor agreements and NDAs should be able to assist with these, whether they are combined or are separate documents. To best understand your obligations and responsibilities, consult with a knowledgeable attorney.
Business Contracts
Joint Venture Agreement
North Carolina
Who's liable for contracts in a joint venture?
I'm a small business owner looking to start a joint venture with another business. We have discussed the terms of the venture and are ready to move forward, but I want to make sure that I understand who is responsible for which contracts. I'm concerned that if either party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, I need to know who will be held liable.
N'kia N.
Typically, liability for each party to a joint venture is determined by the joint venture agreement itself. However, if the joint venture agreement is not sufficient to establish liability or there is no agreement, the law imputes "per capita" (per head) liability. For example, in a joint venture that involves three separate individuals and/or entities, each venturer bears one-third of the total liability. For this reason, joint venturers commonly register a separate entity such as a limited liability company ("LLC"). Hope this helps!
