You can structure the trust in several ways. It depends on exactly what your goals are, if you are looking for asset protection or another goal, tax goals, etc. Would need to speak with you to get some more information to help advise you on the best route to take to achieve your goals.

Non-Competition Agreement

Maine

Asked on Jul 25, 2022

Can an consultant to a company be asked to sign a Non-Compete Agreement when that company is being acquired by another company.

My husband is a consultant for a company that is being acquired by another company. The acquiring company no longer needs his services. The acquiring company is asking my husband to sign a non-compete for nothing in return. They stated that he is not an employee of the company being acquired, so financial consideration is not on the table. The acquiring company is in Maryland. The company being acquired is in Maine. Is this legal?

Jane C.

Answered Aug 12, 2022

I suggest you have an attorney review the terms of the non-compete.

The short answer is yes. As an independent contractor, you bear the risk of profit and loss, employee rules regarding breaks and meals do not apply, nor does the overtime rules.

Shareholders Agreement

Massachusetts

Asked on Feb 4, 2022

Should I form a corporation around my research if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raising funding) in the next year?

Should I form a corporation around my work if I don't plan to conduct any other forms of business (e.g., hire, sell, or raise outside funding) in the next year? My research is computational in nature (can be done on my laptop) and doesn't require many resources.

Richard G.

Answered Feb 8, 2022

The answer to this questions to some degree depends upon your tolerance for risk. If in performing your "business" you are not exposing yourself in any way to the outside world, e.g., hiring, selling, inviting investors, etc., then you may no little to no liability exposure. However, if there is any aspect of your work that would or could develop into something which does involve others, or which is relied upon by others, then the safest path would be to incorporate or form an LLC. LLC's are more expensive to maintain in Massachusetts, i.e., $500 annually, but require less paperwork (no shares to consider, etc.). An LLC should have an operating agreement, even with a single member to clearly distinguish the member as an individual from the LLC as a company. Incorporation is more expensive in the early stages as it requires you to pay your fee to the Secretary of State (about $275), which recurs annually. It is more heavy in terms of annual meeting minutes of shareholders, and other formal documents, and can be a bit more expensive as incorporating will require a shareholder's agreement and other documentation at the outset (not repeated annually).

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.
