Business Consulting Firm Legal Questions and Answers

Business Consulting Firm

S Corp

North Carolina

Asked on Jun 1, 2023

S corp and capital structure?

I am the owner of a small business that has recently incorporated as an S Corp. I am trying to understand the best capital structure for my company and want to make sure that I am taking the most tax efficient approach. I am looking for advice from a lawyer to ensure that I am making the right decisions.

Kimbrelly K.

Answered Jul 4, 2023

If you have already properly formed your S copy - 1120 S filing with a recognition from the IRS, your best next consult is with a CPA experienced with S corps and your personal financial situation. An attorney can assist with other capital suggestions, but the entity has been formed. So a CPA and/or an attorney with an LLM in tax are your next best partners.

Indemnity Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 27, 2024

Can you explain the key provisions and potential implications of an indemnity agreement?

I am in the process of starting a small business where I will be providing consulting services. As part of my contract with clients, I have been advised to include an indemnity agreement to protect myself from any potential legal claims or liabilities that may arise from the services I provide. However, I am not entirely clear on the specific provisions that should be included in the agreement and the potential implications for both parties involved. I want to ensure that I am adequately protected, but I also want to understand any potential risks or limitations associated with such an agreement. Therefore, I am seeking a lawyer's guidance to explain the key provisions and potential implications of an indemnity agreement in the context of my consulting business.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 28, 2024

Hello! Here are key provisions to include and some potential implications to consider: Key Provisions: 1. Scope of Indemnity: Clearly define what types of claims are covered. 2. Parties Involved: Identify the client (indemnitor) and your business (indemnitee). 3. Limitations and Exclusions: Include clauses to limit liability. 4. Triggering Events: Specify events that trigger indemnity. 5. Defense and Control of Claims: Clarify who controls the defense. 6. Caps on Liability: Consider setting a cap on indemnity amounts. 7. Notice Requirements: Outline how and when to notify the client of claims. 8. Survival Clause: State that indemnity obligations survive contract termination. 9. Insurance Requirements: Require the client to maintain supporting insurance. Potential Implications: - For You (Indemnitee): Protection from liability, cost transfer, and reputational risks. - For the Client (Indemnitor): Financial risk, dispute potential, coverage limitations. Best Practices: - Consult a Lawyer: Review the agreement for compliance with New York law. - Balance Interests: Ensure fairness to avoid client alienation. - Insurance Coverage: Maintain professional liability insurance. If you're interested, I can assist in drafting or reviewing an indemnity clause tailored to your business needs. How can I further support you in this matter?

Engineering Services Contract

Illinois

Asked on Jul 11, 2025

Can an engineering services contract be terminated by the client without cause?

Can an engineering services contract be terminated by the client without cause? I recently signed an engineering services contract with a client to provide design and consulting services for a construction project. However, the client has expressed dissatisfaction with the progress and has hinted at terminating the contract even though I have fulfilled all contractual obligations thus far. I want to know if the client has the right to terminate the contract without cause and what my rights and options are in such a situation.

Norman R.

Answered Aug 18, 2025

Whether an engineering services contract may be terminated by a client without cause depends on the terms and conditions of the contract. Typically, engineering services contract will include a "Termination Clause" which may allow the client to terminate the contract for convenience (often found in contracts with government entities) or terminate the contract for cause. In the latter case, the agreement should identify the events or defaults allowing for termination after the client gives notice of a default and an opportunity for cure. Consultation with a qualified lawyer who can review the specific contract and circumstances is recommended to determine if termination was appropriate and whether there are remedies available if the termination was made without cause.

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. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
