I handle everything from their Business Transactional Agreements, Private Placement Memorandums, and Corporate Structures to Intellectual Property Assignments, to Employment Law and Beach of Contract settlements. Responsibilities include writing and executing agreements, drafting court pleadings, court appearances, mergers and acquisitions, transactional documents, managing expert specialized legal counsel, legal research and anticipating unique legal issues that could impact the Company. Conducted an acquisition of an entire line of intellectual property from a competitor. In regards to other clients, I am primarily focused on transactional law for clients in a variety of industries including, but not limited to, real estate investment, property management, and e-commerce. Work is primarily centered around entity formation and corporate structure, corporate governance agreements, PPMs, opportunity zone tax incentives, and all kinds of business to business agreements. I have also recently gained experience with Estate Planning law, drafting numerous Estate Planning documents for people such as Wills, Powers of Attorney, Healthcare Directives, and Trusts. I was selected to the Super Lawyers Southwest Rising Stars list for 2024 - 2026. Each year no more than 2.5% of the attorneys in Arizona and New Mexico are selected to the Rising Stars.

I review, negotiation, draft and analyze contracts including: business asset purchase agreements, non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements, commercial leases, cease-desist letters, payment demand letters, construction contracts, consulting agreements and many more.

For most of that time, he worked in-house, including stints at two international mining companies, two direct selling/MLM companies, a large ecommerce retailer, and an accounting/fintech firm. He also has extensive litigation experience, having represented plaintiffs and defendants in every stage of litigation, including jury trials and appeals. His current role is as a fractional general counsel for businesses of all sizes.
"This was my first commercial lease, and the contract was lengthy and complicated, so I’m very glad I had Rich to help me through it. He was professional, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Since English is my second language, that meant a lot to me. Rich was very thorough in reviewing the contract and took the time to have regular calls with me to walk through questions and details. He also communicated directly with my leasing agent when needed, which helped keep things moving and get some of the issues sorted out. I really appreciated the time and attention he gave throughout the process. His guidance made me feel much more comfortable with my first commercial lease, and I would definitely recommend him to others."

I have also worked in bankruptcy, family law, collections, employment law, and personal injury.

Business Legal Questions and Answers
Business
Contract Agreement
Utah
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.
Simon C.
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.
Business
Operating Agreement
New York
What should be included in an operating agreement for a small business?
I am in the process of starting a small business with a partner and we are in the early stages of drafting an operating agreement. We want to ensure that all aspects of our business are properly addressed and that our rights, responsibilities, and decision-making processes are clearly defined. We are seeking guidance on what specific provisions should be included in the operating agreement to protect both of our interests and minimize potential conflicts in the future.
Damien B.
Hello! Here's some guidance on specific provisions you should consider: Business & Ownership Structure: - Name and Location: Make sure to include the official business name and the state where your LLC is formed. - Membership: List all members of the LLC and their ownership percentages. - Management Structure: Clearly state whether the LLC will be member-managed (all members participate in daily operations) or manager-managed (designated members handle day-to-day operations). Financial Management: - Capital Contributions: Provide details on the initial capital contributions from each member and how future contributions will be handled. - Profit & Loss Sharing: Outline how profits and losses will be distributed among members, taking into account ownership percentages or other factors. - Distributions: Establish rules for how and when members can receive distributions from the business. - Accounting Practices: Define the accounting method used (cash or accrual) and how financial records will be maintained. Decision-Making & Operations: - Voting Rights: Specify voting rights for members, including majority or unanimous voting requirements for different decisions (e.g., admitting new members, taking on debt). - Meetings: Determine the frequency and procedures for member meetings, including how notices will be sent and how votes will be conducted. - Management Duties: If the LLC is manager-managed, clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the managers. Dissolution & Buyouts: - Dissolution Events: List the events that could trigger the dissolution of the LLC (e.g., member death, bankruptcy). - Buyout Provisions: Establish a process for one member to buy out another's interest in the LLC, including valuation methods and potential triggers (e.g., retirement, disability). - Dispute Resolution: Specify a process for resolving disagreements between members, such as mediation or arbitration. Additional Considerations: - Non-Compete Agreements: Consider including a non-compete clause to prevent members from competing with the business after leaving. - Term of Agreement: Decide whether the operating agreement will have a definite term or be perpetual. Seeking Legal Help: While this list provides a starting point, it is highly recommended to consult with a business attorney to customize the operating agreement according to your specific business and state regulations. They can ensure the agreement is legally sound and adequately protects your interests. By incorporating these provisions and seeking legal advice, you and your partner can create a comprehensive operating agreement that minimizes future conflicts and establishes a strong foundation for your small business.

Affidavit
Illinois
Lien on business name
My husband and I started a transportation company recently and learned a Lein has been put on the business by a company we have never heard of nor have any affiliation with
T. Phillip B.
Are you talking about a UCC lien? See 810 ILCS 5/9-501 et seq. for some information about fraudulent filings. The Secretary of State also has a form for an Affidavit of Fraudulent Record which you could file. Additionally, you could file a termination which is also available with the Secretary of State.
Business
Liability Waiver
Texas
Is a liability waiver binding on heirs?
I recently inherited a business from a family member and I am looking to create a liability waiver for the business. I want to make sure that the waiver is binding on the heirs of the business in the event that the business is passed down. I want to make sure that any potential liabilities are not passed on to future generations of the family.
J.R. S.
A liability waiver can indeed be binding on heirs if the language of the waiver expressly includes heirs or assigns. However, the binding nature of a waiver on heirs could be affected by several factors. Administrative regulations such as 1 TAC § 373.209 and statutes like V.T.C.A., Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.021 and V.T.C.A., Special Districts Code § 8502.020 stipulate conditions under which heirs can assert claims, which could potentially affect the binding nature of a waiver on heirs. Finally, the enforceability of such waivers can be influenced by whether the instrument is recorded or not, as per V.T.C.A., Property Code § 13.001. In summary, while a liability waiver can be binding on heirs, the enforceability of such waivers can be influenced by various factors, including the specific language of the waiver, the termination of the contract, administrative regulations or statutes, and whether the instrument is recorded or not. I recommend having a discussion with an attorney and have them draft the language to achieve your goal.
Business
Revenue Sharing Agreement
New York
Can you explain the key provisions and legal considerations of a revenue sharing agreement?
I am currently in discussions with a potential business partner to establish a revenue sharing agreement for a new online platform we are developing together. While I have a basic understanding of revenue sharing agreements, I am unsure about the specific provisions and legal considerations that need to be included in the agreement to protect both parties' interests. I want to ensure that the agreement clearly outlines how revenue will be shared, what expenses will be deducted, and how disputes will be resolved, among other key provisions. I would greatly appreciate your guidance in understanding the legal aspects of revenue sharing agreements and any potential pitfalls that I should be aware of before finalizing the agreement with my business partner.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is located in Long Island City across from Manhattan. Some key provisions in a revenue-sharing agreement would be the following: - Purpose and Scope - Revenue Sharing Terms - Expense Deductions - Responsibilities of Each Party - Audit Rights - Dispute Resolution - Confidentiality and Non-Compete - Termination and Exit Strategy - Liability and Indemnification - Choice of Law Clearly distinguish between revenue-sharing arrangements and equity stakes, as they have different legal and tax implications. Also, address ownership of any intellectual property developed during the partnership, which can become a significant source of disputes. Feel free to reach out if you want a consultation or help drafting the agreement.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
