"It is not easy to find a lawyer that knows Offshore Asset Protection Trusts, which own a foreign LLC, which owns a USA LLC. Fines could reach $100K if the tax forms are incorrect, or not filed. He was able to review my draft returns and provide memos with required changes (many, many changes), after 1 follow-up everything was basically done other than a few tiny edits. I really appreciated how he worked me in, right in the busiest time of tax season, to ensure there were no errors. Would definitely hire again."

I’m a commercial contracts attorney who helps growing companies get out of contract chaos and into something sustainable. I focus on the agreements that sit at the core of how companies operate—customer contracts, vendor deals, SaaS agreements, and supply and distribution relationships. Before going independent, I worked in private practice and embedded legal roles supporting technology, consumer goods, and manufacturing businesses. That experience shaped a practical, business-first approach to contracts: clear drafting, efficient negotiation, and advice grounded in how companies actually operate. I hold the CIPP/US credential and have completed AI governance training, which informs my work on data, privacy, and AI-adjacent risk terms commonly found in modern commercial agreements. If you want contracts that are clear, balanced, and usable by the people who sign and manage them, that’s where I’m most effective.

Equity Agreement

Pennsylvania

Asked on Jan 13, 2022

How much equity should investors get?

Hi there, I'm seeking counsel for a startup/small business with two initial investors. These investors have established auto repair businesses and will use those businesses as leverage to support a $500k loan that will be used to initially fund the business. Revenues from those businesses will be used to pay the loan until the business can pay for them. I will be providing all sweat equity. The investors above will have no involvement in the day-to-day (as they run their own businesses). One investor may provide connections to potential clients and if necessary, an additional investor.

Amy Sue L.

Answered Jan 14, 2022

This is really a business question, as much as it is a legal question - although lawyers can certainly help you structure and document it once answered. That said, I think you're likely to find a spectrum of answers - on one end of the spectrum, there are 3 investors with equal shares (each having 1/3 of the equity - 2 of which receive their percentage in consideration for $ investments, while you receive yours for your efforts in running the business day-to-day- in this scenario, everyone and everything they bring to the table is equally valued); on the other end of the spectrum, there are 2 investors with equal or otherwise proportionate shares (each having 1/2 of the equity - or some other percentages that total to 100% - in consideration for their respective $ investments, which may differ depending on the value of the businesses underlying the loans), and you are considered an employee of the business (not an investor), who will receive compensation for running the business- presumably a salary and possibly including incentives based on the success of the business; and of course, there are some variations that could impact any or all parties in the middle of the spectrum. I suggest that you have a conversation with your potential partners to learn how each party views the value being brought to the enterprise by the others and begin the negotiation from there. Note also that this deal sounds simple in theory but may become a little complicated due to the funding mechanism being used on the back end.

Letter of Intent

Pennsylvania

Asked on Jan 4, 2022

Letter of intent

I registered a startup clothing boutique in PA and I planned to attend a fashion trade show to purchase from wholesale vendors. Because I am a startup and my business is not up and running I am required to provide a letter of intent for my boutique. How do I go about getting a letter of intent signed by lawyer?

Amy Sue L.

Answered Jan 14, 2022

A "letter of intent" is typically not signed by a lawyer, it is signed by two or more parties who intend to enter into a transaction together in the future, but who do not yet have sufficient details regarding the terms of the transaction to enter into a formal agreement. Has the trade show given any additional info / context about this request? - I think your question has not been answered because your use of the term "letter of intent" and "lawyer" in this context is unusual. More information about what you mean by "registered a startup" would also be helpful - if you have formed a company, you should be able to provide a certificate of good standing or other evidence of that formation to the show, which may be sufficient. If you cannot provide that documentation, I wonder if you are also using the term "registered" in another, non-traditional way (from a legal point of view)? Happy to try to help with more info!

Freelance Contract

Texas

Asked on Jul 26, 2025

Can a freelance contract be terminated without notice?

I recently entered into a freelance contract with a client to provide graphic design services for a six-month period. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am no longer able to continue working on the project. I am wondering if it is legally permissible for me to terminate the contract without providing any notice to the client, or if there are any legal implications I should be aware of.

Ricardo A.

Answered Aug 12, 2025

Contract Terms Govern Termination: In Texas, a freelance or independent contractor agreement is primarily governed by its written terms. If the contract includes a termination clause (for example, requiring 30 days’ notice or allowing immediate termination for cause), those provisions must be followed. Failing to adhere to agreed termination procedures (such as giving required notice or an opportunity to cure a default) can jeopardize the right to terminate and may itself breach the contract. Always review the contract’s termination and notice clauses first. At-Will Termination of Indefinite Contracts: If the freelance agreement does not specify a fixed duration or notice period (i.e. it’s an open-ended, indefinite contract), then under Texas law it is generally terminable at will by either party. In other words, when a contract contemplates ongoing, continuous services with no defined end date, either side may end the arrangement at any time. Texas courts do not favor contracts that bind parties in perpetuity and presume such indefinite agreements are terminable at will. (For example, an agreement for continuing services with no end date can usually be ended by either party without advance notice, absent a contractual notice requirement.) Fixed-Term Contracts and Wrongful Termination: If the freelance contract is for a set term or project and has no clause allowing early termination without notice, a party cannot unilaterally terminate it mid-term without potentially breaching the contract. Texas law only excuses a party from further performance (allows termination) if the other party materially breaches or repudiates the agreement. In plain terms, one side can end the contract for cause if the other side seriously fails to perform, but if there is no such cause and no contract right to terminate, ending the contract without notice would be a wrongful termination. The terminating party would then be liable for breach of contract, and the non-breaching party is entitled to damages. For instance, a client who fires a freelancer in violation of the contract’s terms could be required to pay for the work already completed or even lost profits as damages. Payment for Work Completed: Even when a contract is terminable at will or terminated without notice, the freelance worker should be paid for any services rendered up to the termination date. The non-breaching party can seek compensation for the work performed or costs incurred before termination. In the absence of a contractual notice period, a sudden termination is lawful if the contract is at-will, but the party who did the work can still recover the value of what was delivered. Bottom line: A freelance contract can be terminated without notice only if doing so is allowed by the contract or the law (e.g. an indefinite at-will arrangement). If a written agreement has specific termination or notice requirements, those must be honored in Texas. Terminating in violation of the contract (no notice when notice is required, or no cause when the contract doesn’t allow at-will termination) will put the terminating party in breach, subjecting them to liability. Always check the contract’s termination clause and Texas contract law before ending the relationship abruptly.
