"Ricardo was exceptionally attentive and detail-oriented while drafting our unconventional prenuptial agreement. Despite an extremely tight timeline, he delivered it right in time without compromising quality. He didn't simply drag and drop information in a template like our previous attorney did – instead, he wrote a custom agreement based on our goals. He took the time to truly listen to our needs and asked thoughtful, incisive follow-up questions that led to important revisions we had not previously anticipated, but were deeply grateful he identified. His rate was very reasonable, and he demonstrated outstanding integrity in transparently and accurately documenting his billable hours. We are sincerely grateful for his guidance during a stressful and emotionally charged time, and for ensuring we had a thoroughly drafted, legally sound, and high-quality agreement in place before our wedding. We can't recommend him enough!"

Working as a Flagger work 10hrs with no breaks
J.R. S.
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.

Terms and Conditions
Texas
Are terms and conditions legally binding?
I recently started a business and I am in the process of creating a website for it. As part of the website, I am creating a Terms and Conditions page. I want to make sure that the Terms and Conditions are legally binding so that if I ever need to take legal action against a customer, I am protected. I have read some articles about Terms and Conditions, but I would like to get a professional opinion on the matter.
J.R. S.
Yes, terms and conditions on a business website can generally be enforceable against consumers. The enforceability of terms and conditions on a business website against consumers is not straightforward and depends on various factors, including the type of agreement used, the presentation of these terms, the consumer's acknowledgment of these terms, and the specific provisions within these terms. However, the enforceability primarily hinges on how these terms are presented and whether the consumers were given reasonable notice of these terms. There are three types of electronic form agreements typically used by websites to incorporate terms and conditions: "click-wrap", "browse-wrap", and "sign-in-wrap" agreements. "Click-wrap" agreements necessitate the user's express assent to the terms and conditions by clicking a button that reads "I Agree" or some other method of explicit agreement. In these cases, the consumer is presumed to be aware of the additional terms and conditions and consciously chooses to proceed with the transaction. "Browse-wrap" agreements include terms and conditions either posted on the website, a hyperlink, or are accessible on the screen, but do not require the user's express assent. The validity of these agreements depends on whether a website user has actual or constructive knowledge of a site's terms and conditions prior to using the site. "Sign-in-wrap" agreements involve notifying users of the existence of the website's terms and conditions and advising them that they are agreeing to the terms when registering an account or signing in. Courts usually enforce these agreements when the notice of the terms was "reasonably conspicuous." This can include situations where a hyperlink to the terms and conditions is present on nearly every webpage of the company's website, or when the webpage from which the user indicates their assent contains a conspicuous hyperlink to the agreement. However, there are exceptions to the enforceability of these terms and conditions and much depends on the type of business you are and the specific terms and conditions that you impose on consumers through your website.

Jurisdiction for a business contract?
I am starting a new business venture and need to create a business contract. I am unsure of which jurisdiction the contract should be written in, as my business will have operations in multiple states. I am looking for advice on which jurisdiction would be most suitable for my business contract.
Curt L.
I most instances, I would specify in the contract that the laws of the State of your principal office and business operations apply to the contract. I would also include a mandatory local jurisdiction and local venue for the same reasons. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue are each separate concepts.

Form 2553
Texas
Can a single-member LLC elect S corporation status by filing Form 2553?
I am the sole owner of a limited liability company (LLC) and I am considering electing S corporation status for tax purposes. I have heard that filing Form 2553 with the IRS is necessary to make this election, but I am uncertain whether this form can be used by a single-member LLC. I want to ensure that I am taking the correct steps to obtain S corporation status and maximize the tax benefits for my business.
Jennifer B.
Yes, your single-member LLC can elect S corporation tax treatment. The transition requires a two-step process with the IRS. First, since your LLC is currently treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes, you'll need to file Form 8832 to elect corporate tax treatment. Once the IRS has processed this election, you can then file Form 2553 to specifically request S corporation status. Timing is crucial for this election. For the S corporation status to take effect in the current tax year, you must file Form 2553 either within the first two months and 15 days of that tax year, or at any time during the preceding tax year. Before proceeding, you should verify that your LLC meets all S corporation eligibility criteria. Your business must be domestic, have only permissible shareholders (individuals, certain trusts, or estates), maintain only one class of stock, and not fall into certain prohibited categories like financial institutions or insurance companies.
