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.

Business contract with non-disclosure?
I am a small business owner looking to enter into a contract with another party. I am concerned about protecting my intellectual property and proprietary information that I will be sharing with the other party. Therefore, I am looking for advice on how to draft a non-disclosure agreement that will adequately protect my interests.
Merry A.
Creating a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a crucial step to protect your intellectual property and proprietary information when entering into a contract with another party. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to draft an NDA that will help safeguard your interests: Understand Your Needs: Clearly identify what specific information you want to protect. This could include trade secrets, business plans, customer lists, product designs, or any other sensitive information. Consult an Attorney: It's highly recommended to consult with an attorney who specializes in intellectual property or contract law. They can provide you with tailored advice and ensure your NDA complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Basic NDA Structure: Title: Start with a clear title such as "Non-Disclosure Agreement" or "Confidentiality Agreement." Parties: Identify the parties involved, including your business and the other party. Recitals or Purpose: Include a brief statement explaining the purpose of the agreement, such as why the parties are entering into it. Definition of Confidential Information: Define what constitutes confidential information. Be as specific as possible to leave no room for ambiguity. Obligations of the Receiving Party: Clearly outline the receiving party's obligations, including: The duty to keep the information confidential. The prohibition on disclosing, sharing, or using the information for any purpose other than the specified one. The requirement to use reasonable care to protect the information. Duration of Confidentiality: Specify the duration for which the information must remain confidential. This could be for a set number of years or until a specific event occurs. Exclusions from Confidential Information: Clearly list any information that is not considered confidential. This could include information that was already public, independently developed by the receiving party, or disclosed with your written consent. Consequences of Breach: Describe the consequences of a breach of the NDA, such as injunctive relief, monetary damages, or both. Jurisdiction and Governing Law: Specify the jurisdiction where disputes will be resolved and the governing law that will apply. Miscellaneous Provisions: Include any other necessary clauses, such as dispute resolution methods, severability, and the entire agreement clause (which states that the NDA constitutes the entire agreement between the parties). Execution and Signatures: Provide spaces for the signatures of both parties, along with their printed names and dates. Review and Negotiation: Allow both parties to review and negotiate the terms. Be prepared for some back-and-forth discussions before reaching a final agreement. Legal Counsel Review: Before finalizing and signing the NDA, have your attorney review it to ensure it meets your specific needs and is legally enforceable. Remember that NDA templates are widely available, but they may not fully address your unique situation. It's essential to tailor the agreement to your specific needs and consult with legal professionals to ensure it adequately protects your intellectual property and proprietary information. Additionally, you should make sure that the other party understands the terms and willingly agrees to them before proceeding with any confidential discussions or transactions.

How to get out of a business contract?
I want to get out of a contract with our main vendor and have been reading the contract but it doesn't say much. I believe this is in the termination clause based on research, but it doesn't specifically say what I need to do. Any advice?
Donya G.
A contract generally has termination terms; that would be the way to get out. If there are no terms, then the best thing to do is negotiate with the party on an exit strategy that is agreeable to both parties. As a contracts attorney that specializes in contracts and contracts disputes, I would be happy to assist. You can connect with me on the website or through my profile page - Donya Gordon Donya

Noncompetition Agreement
New York
Looking for legal advice on a non-compete agreement in NY State
I am an existing employee of a medium sized privately owed manufacturing company and have worked here for over 15 years. I recently was asked to sign a non-compete and non-disclosure agreement. I have had a series of promotions over the last 7 years but this agreement was presented several months after my latest promotion without any additional consideration for signing this agreement now.
Donya G.
Signing a non compete or a non disclosure is not in and of itself illegal. In NY and in most states a non compete are individually accessed based on the language and scope (how long and what the non compete entails) and is generally examined by courts under a watchful eye as long as its not too restrictive or burdensome and would not prevent the free movement of goods and services. In order to advise you on your agreement, I would need to review it to advise you. If you need additional assistance, you may contact me directly on Contracts Counsel to engage my services. All the best. Donya Gordon

Consulting Agreement
Florida
How to terminate a consulting agreement?
I recently entered into a consulting agreement with a client. After a few months, I have realized that the terms of the agreement are not beneficial to me and I would like to terminate it. I would like to know what legal steps I need to take in order to terminate the agreement and what potential repercussions I may face.
Diane D.
That's why you should read the agreement before you sign it and bring it to an attorney to review. Termination conditions of the contract should be in the contract. You have to follow those. If you don't like them, you can ask the other party if you can change them or if you can break the contract. If they don't agree, you're stuck and will be in breach if you try to cancel it. You can cancel it if the other party breaches it, but you have to have a valid reason or the courts will not grant it and you will end up with major legal bills.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
