Contracts
Business Partnership Agreement
Tennessee
Zied kefi partnership
I wanna open restaurant with my friend and make legal partnership documents
Rebecca R.
You have the right idea to put the partnership in writing. Your attorney will be able to help you think through several issues: investment into the business, operating the business, the potential to add more partners or investors, and an exit strategy for each partner or both partners. The document to start with is a business partnership agreement that outlines the ground rules for your partnership based on the Tennessee law. It can be a very straightforward document, or more complex depending on your needs. For instance, you may also want to create a statement of partnership authority which designates which partners have the authority to enter into agreements on behalf of the partnership, or it may limit the authority of certain partners. This is the kind of business agreement I help small business owners with regularly, and I invite you to request a bid for my services on your project through ContractsCounsel.
Contracts
Business Purchase Agreement
New York
Can I update a business purchase agreement post-signing?
I recently purchased a business and signed a purchase agreement. However, I have since discovered that the agreement does not include certain terms that I believe are important to the transaction. I would like to know if it is possible to update the agreement post-signing to include these additional terms.
Damien B.
Hello. You mention updating a purchase agreement. It sounds like your goal is to modify the agreement. And generally, the agreement itself would set forth how modifications can occur. Usually, modifications must be in writing upon the consent of the parties to the agreement. Therefore, if one party wants to modify the agreement because that party wants to include additional terms, the parties to the original agreement can enter into a written modification or addendum to the agreement.

Assignment of Lease
Florida
Contract to lease land from a church?
I’m planning on leasing land from a church. Putting a gym on the property. And leasing it back to the school.
Donya G.
Ok; first step is that you will need a leasing contract with the church. Ask them to prepare one for you so you would just need an attorney to review the agreement and that should cost less than if you had to be the party to pay a lawyer to draft it from scratch. You need to ensure that the purpose of the lease is clearly stated - that you plan to put a gym on the land so that there are no issues if the church leadership changes. Step 2 - you will need a lease agreement with the school that your leasing it do (hopefully one that is similar to the original one your received from the church). Again, please ensure that all the terms that you discuss and agree to are in the document; including length of time, price and how to resolve disputes if you have one. I hope this is helpful. If you would like me to assist you further, you can contact me on Contracts Counsel and we can discuss a fee for my services. Regards, Donya Ramsay (Gordon)
Contracts
SaaS Agreement
Illinois
Why do SAAS companies not provide warranties in their agreements?
Being asked to sign and am curious...
Sarah S.
Because it's in the name "Software as a service." Warranties are only for products. SAAS is constantly evolving and has a strives to always be working but it would be very hard to guarantee. Plus, product warranties are generally only guaranteed for a certain period of time and SAAS is usually good for the contract duration.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
