Contract Agreement

Asked on Jul 29, 2021

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

Has a contract with someone where if we disagreed we would go to mediation. They refused to go, they offered us a settlement as long as we signed another contract. I don't understand fully what it is saying.

Answered Sep 28, 2021

You should never sign a contract or other legal documents if you do not understand them. Get help and advice from a qualified lawyer before entering into contractual and legal obligations.

C Corp

Texas

Asked on Jul 9, 2023

C corp legal requirements?

I am planning to start a business and am considering a C corporation structure. I am looking for information on the legal requirements associated with setting up and operating a C corporation. I would like to know what documents I need to file, what taxes I will need to pay, and what other regulatory requirements apply.

Wendy C.

Answered Jul 18, 2023

Texas Secretary of State has a ton of helpful resources, including what documents to be filed, what taxes to be paid, and others. With regards to applicable law or which regulators your business will be subject to, you may want to discuss the nature of your business with your preferred counsel. You should also look into the duties/responsibilities of owning or holding a certain position in your company. There are also post-obligations or tasks that the company has to undertake after being registered, like adopting your Bylaws and naming your officers/directors/c-level executives.

Contractual Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jan 26, 2022

Hi there. My boss has me as a 1099 employee. Is she legally allowed to give us a contract that I have to sign?

I am a hairstylist. I pay my own taxes every year as a self employed person. Yet my boss sets rules and takes 50% of my commission. I have no idea if any of what she’s doing is legal.

Kristen R.

Answered Mar 8, 2022

I would need a lot more info to answer this question.. is she directing how you do your job? Is there a contractor agreement in place? Just having you sign a contract is not illegal, however.

Demand Letter

New York

Asked on Sep 15, 2023

Is a demand letter legally binding?

I recently received a demand letter from a former business partner who is claiming that I owe them money. This demand letter states that I must pay the amount specified by a certain date or face legal action. I am concerned about the legal implications of this demand letter and want to know if it is legally binding.

Gregory F.

Answered Oct 3, 2023

Technically, the demand letter has no legal impact. It simply represents an offer to resolve a dispute via an out-of-court settlement under the threat of litigation. In your case, it appears from your description that your former business partner has demanded that you pay the disputed amount by a certain date or else s/he will commence a lawsuit against you. It is, of course, possible that even if you do not pay the amount demanded, your former business partner would decide not to pursue the lawsuit--in other words, it could be a bluff. However, if you call the bluff and ignore the letter, and your former business partner sues you, it could become a much more expensive problem for you. I would therefore strongly recommend that you retain an attorney to advise you and respond to the letter.

Demand Letter

Florida

Asked on Sep 19, 2023

How often are demand letters effective?

I recently received a demand letter from a creditor regarding an unpaid debt. I'm trying to understand the effectiveness of demand letters and how to respond. I'm looking for some guidance on the best course of action to take.

Matthew F.

Answered Sep 22, 2023

Please see article that I wrote on this subject. Unveiling the Myth of Demand Letters: Why They Are not the Silver Bullet You Think They Are Unveiling the Myth of Demand Letters: Why They Are not the Silver Bullet You Think They Are The world of contracts and payments is often a murky one, with defaults and delays being unfortunately common. For professionals seeking their rightful payments, demand letters are often presented as the magic wand that will resolve all disputes. However, in real-world scenarios, the effectiveness of demand letters is debatable. Let’s dissect this widely accepted norm and reveal why demand letters might not be the solution they are often made out to be. The Proclaimed Power of Demand Letters: More Illusion than Reality? Demand letters are typically portrayed as the first and most potent step in the payment recovery process. After all, they do convey your seriousness about the issue at hand. Furthermore, their legal format can give them an intimidating aura, making the other party think twice about withholding payment. But while these reasons may seem compelling, they often fail to convert into the desired action, i.e., the release of your due payment. The bitter truth is that if an individual or business was going to comply with the terms of a contract or make a payment, they likely would have done so without the need for a demand letter. It is not uncommon for the receiving party to view the demand letter as another stall tactic, giving them additional time to avoid paying without any real consequence. Why Demand Letters Miss Their Mark In theory, a demand letter can lay down a solid foundation for your case if you have to resort to litigation. But again, the question is, would you need to go to court if the demand letter was as effective as it is made out to be? At its core, a demand letter is a tool designed to inspire fear of legal repercussions. However, more often than not, it simply does not wield enough influence or power to elicit the desired response from the recipient. Many times, it merely serves as a reminder of an existing obligation, not a compelling reason to fulfill it. The Better Alternative: An Educated Business Decision A more effective and practical approach could be to shift the focus from using demand letters to make an educated business decision. This involves analyzing the unique aspects of your situation, such as the size of the debt, the debtor’s ability to pay, and the cost and time required for a lawsuit. By taking into consideration all relevant factors, you can devise a strategy that is likely to get you your money without wasting excessive time, effort, or resources. Often, this approach might include exploring alternative dispute resolution methods or even pursuing litigation if that seems the most practical way forward. Summing It Up Demand letters have proven to be far less effective than often perceived. Their inherent limitations and the attitude of the recipients often make them inadequate to coerce an owner into making due payments. They are often ignored or yield ineffective responses if any at all. Instead of relying on demand letters, it is more productive to make a well-informed business decision about how best to recover your due payment. Consider all your options, weigh their pros and cons, and then make a decision that is likely to bring you the results you desire. After all, in business, actions that bring you closer to your goals are the ones that truly matter.
