I'm in general practice with an emphasis on real estate, litigation, and contracts
Michelle T.
I am an experienced, well-rounded attorney with a background specializing in trusts and estates, contracts and business law. I have extensive experience working with simple contracts all the way up to multi-million dollar deals.
"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

Randy M.
Hi, I'm Randy, and I've been practicing law for over 30 years with a genuine passion for contracts and legal drafting. I spent nearly 15 years running my own solo practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I built a thriving firm helping everyone from small business owners to entertainment professionals navigate their legal needs. Those years taught me that great contracts aren't just about covering all the bases legally - they're about understanding what my clients actually need and translating that into clear, enforceable agreements. My sweet spot is contract drafting across a wide range of areas. I've written hundreds of LLC operating agreements (both single and multi-member), prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, residential and commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, consulting agreements, and corporate formation documents. I also have extensive experience in estate planning documents - wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills - plus employment agreements and entertainment law contracts. These days I'm based in New York City, but I work with clients nationwide on contract matters. What I love most about this work is taking complex business relationships and turning them into documents that actually make sense and protect everyone involved. Whether you're a startup founder needing your first operating agreement or an established business updating your contractor templates, I focus on creating contracts that work in the real world, not just on paper. After three decades of practice, I still get excited about a well-crafted contract. Let's talk about how I can help with yours.
"Randy did an excellent job reviewing our Nanny Agreement. He brought up issues we wouldn't have thought of otherwise. Highly recommend for his thoroughness and responsiveness!"

Earn Out Agreement
California
Can you explain the key provisions and potential risks involved in an Earn Out Agreement?
I am currently in negotiations to sell my small business and the potential buyer has proposed an Earn Out Agreement as part of the deal. While I understand the basic concept of an earn out, I am unsure about the specific provisions that should be included in the agreement and the potential risks involved. I want to ensure that I am adequately protected and that the earn out arrangement is fair and reasonable for both parties.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you for using contractscounsel.com! This kind of agreement can be a great way to bridge the gap if you and the buyer have different views on your business's future value, but it’s not without its headaches. Basically, it lets the buyer pay part of the sale price later, depending on how the business performs. To keep things fair, you MUST have clear rules. I think for you need to nail down what performance targets you’re using such as revenue, profit, etc., and how they’ll be calculated. Be super specific to avoid arguments. Set a timeline for the earn-out, like 2–3 years, and agree on when you’ll get paid if targets are hit. You also need protection since the buyer will run the business after the sale. You don’t want them cutting corners or making decisions that could tank your payout. If the buyer mismanages things, you’re the one who loses. I think if you have some specific actions that the buyer promises to perform that you know helps the companies stay profitable or stay legally compliant (for example), including that in the agreement makes sense. You can ask for safeguards like minimum payments, say-so in major decisions, or money held in escrow. And, of course, make sure everything’s spelled out. We can draft these agreements for you here! Best of luck!

LLC
Florida
What are the steps involved in forming an LLC?
I am interested in starting my own business and have decided that forming a limited liability company (LLC) is the best option for me. However, I am unsure about the specific steps involved in the LLC formation process, such as filing the necessary paperwork, obtaining an employer identification number (EIN), and drafting an operating agreement. I would like to understand the entire process in order to ensure that I comply with all legal requirements and set up my LLC properly.
Ralph S.
An attorney on this site can help you with all the steps, some offer it a a package. You first need to decide on the membership structure (who owns what). File Articles of Organization with the State, obtain your ein, draft your operating agreement (have a discussion re who does what), prepare your members resolutions/ have a meeting- to issue your membership interests and appoint the person to open your bank account. Verify what subsequent steps you need to take in your county/city because these are different; verify if your kind of activity requires registration with state and or county. With regard to address and documents, remember that Florida requires a physical address (no PO Box) and that banks have been more and more difficult about using virtual addresses in recent months.

International Contract
California
What legal protections exist for me as a small business owner in the United States entering into an international contract?
As a small business owner in the United States, I am considering entering into an international contract with a supplier based in a different country. I am concerned about the potential risks and legal challenges that may arise from conducting business across borders. I want to know what legal protections exist for me in terms of contract enforcement, dispute resolution, and intellectual property rights, as well as any other important considerations I should be aware of before entering into an international contract.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you so much for coming to the site. So the contract itself is going to be the most important piece of protection. The law doesn't provide for specific protections for individuals or businesses entering into international agreements, but the contract itself, and its terms, are what you need to pay close attention to. If you are selling goods, then there are some rules that help clarify what AI said earlier. The first is the Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (called the CISG). The CISG applies automatically if both parties to the contract are located in countries that have adopted the treaty unless the parties specifically agree to opt out of it. It covers many aspects of a sales contract, such as the obligations of the buyer and seller, delivery of goods, payment, breach of contract, and remedies for non-performance. In other word, the CISG is kind of like a default set of rules for cross-border contracts unless you opt out of it, so knowing whether it helps or hurts your position is worth looking into. When it comes to intellectual property, be proactive. Just because you’ve got protections in the U.S. doesn’t mean they automatically apply abroad. Consider registering trademarks or patents in the country where your supplier is based to prevent them from using your intellectual property without permission. So what do I recommend you do? 1. Put in the contract what state is going to be the state for lawsuits (e.g. California); 2. Put it in writing! We can draft it up for you just let us know!
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
