My main focus is estate planning and business transactions, but I have had many practice areas throughout my career, including criminal defense and prosecution, civil litigation from neighborhood squabbles to corporate contentions. I have also worked in bankruptcy, family law, collections, employment law, and personal injury. I stand ready to assist in any area to which I feel I can be of service, but will not try to fake it if I do not know the area of law I am being asked to serve in.

Should I sign a contract if I don't understand what it is saying?

Joint Venture Partnership Agreement

Washington

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

Who pays expenses in a joint venture?

I am currently exploring the possibility of forming a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. However, I am unclear on how expenses related to the joint venture will be paid and whether each company is responsible for their own expenses or if they will be shared. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the financial implications of a joint venture and ensure that my interests are protected.

Joint Venture Agreement

Texas

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

What's normal term in a joint venture?

I am currently in discussions with another company to form a joint venture to pursue a business opportunity. As part of our negotiations, we are trying to determine the appropriate term for the joint venture, including the duration of the joint venture and the conditions under which it can be extended or terminated. However, I am unclear on what is considered a normal or typical term for a joint venture, and what factors should be considered when determining the length of the venture. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to guide me through the process of negotiating the term of the joint venture and to ensure that the terms are legally sound and meet my needs.

Jimmy V.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

A joint venture is a partnership organized for a specific purpose. Let's say that you formed a joint venture to renovate a house and sell it. The joint venture ends once the project is completed. In this case the joint venture would end when you sold the house, PS For more information about business entities, download a free copy of my ebook "Should Your Small Business Become a Corporation or an LLC?

Letter of Intent

New York

Asked on Jun 12, 2024

Can a Letter of Intent be legally binding?

I am currently in negotiations with a potential business partner to establish a joint venture, and we have exchanged a Letter of Intent outlining our intentions and key terms. However, I am unsure if this document holds any legal weight and can be considered binding in a court of law. I want to understand the legal implications of a Letter of Intent and whether it can be enforced if either party breaches the terms stated in the document.

Damien B.

Answered Jun 14, 2024

The enforceability of a Letter of Intent (LOI) depends on its wording. LOIs are usually intended as non-binding expressions of good faith and a framework for further negotiations. They often contain language stating they are not enforceable agreements. However, under certain circumstances, LOIs can become partially or fully binding. If you want the LOI to be legally binding, like confidentiality clauses, have a lawyer review it and ensure the wording reflects that intent. Given the potential complexities, consulting a lawyer experienced in business contracts is highly recommended. An attorney can analyze your LOI and advise you on its enforceability and how to proceed with your joint venture negotiations.

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.
