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 Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing.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!"

I hold a J.D., cum laude, from The George Washington University Law School and advanced technical degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering, which allow me to efficiently handle technically complex matters. I am admitted in multiple jurisdictions, including New York, Virginia, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia, and I regularly provide high-quality remote legal support to clients nationwide.
"Did a very thorough job, asked great questions and made adjustments as necessary. Would definitely work with again."

How do I get out of a partnership agreement?
I am looking at options on how to get out of a business partnership I entered into last year.
Donya G.
It will depend on what your partnership agreement says. You would have to look to the language of the agreement you signed to determine that. DISCLAIMER The answers to these questions do not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with the attorney and anyone who reviews these responses.

Settlement Agreement
Massachusetts
How binding is a settlement agreement?
I recently entered into a settlement agreement with a former business partner. We both agreed to the terms of the settlement, however, I am now concerned that the other party may not follow through with their obligations. I want to know how binding the settlement agreement is and if there are any legal consequences if the other party does not fulfill their obligations.
Patrick N.
First of all, it matters who drafted the agreement, who are the parties to the agreement, and what precisely is being "settled"? Typically an "agreement for judgment" is the most binding settlement agreement, since the agreement becomes an order of the court once it is approved by the presiding judge. However, you have to already be in court (i.e., sue or be sued) to get the benefit of that. Was there a lawsuit filed or a lawsuit threatened?

Dissolution Agreement
Maryland
How can I dissolve a partnership?
I have been in a partnership with a business associate for the past five years, but due to irreconcilable differences and disagreements on the direction of the company, I have decided that it is in my best interest to dissolve the partnership. I would like to know the legal process and steps involved in dissolving a partnership, including any potential liabilities or obligations that may arise during the dissolution.
Christopher N.
Hopefully you have a partnership agreement between the two of you. If so, then the agreement SHOULD provide the steps necessary to wind down and liquidate the partnership. If not, then I highly recommend you consult with an attorney in ... Maryland, to assist with understanding your agreement (oral or otherwise), and how to dissolve the partnership. Good luck

Can a partner in a partnership agreement be held liable for the actions of another partner?
I am currently in a partnership agreement with two other individuals, and we have recently encountered a situation where one of the partners engaged in illegal activities on behalf of the partnership. I am concerned about the potential liability that I may face as a result of their actions, and I would like to know if it is possible for a partner to be held personally liable for the actions of another partner in a partnership agreement.
Akash K.
As with most legal questions, the answer is "it depends". In this case, it would depend largely on the relationship between your partner's illegal activities and the partnership - which would also be impacted by the type of partnership, terms of the partnership agreement and any actual or constructive knowledge you and/or your partner had regarding the illegal actions. However, in some cases it would be possible to be held personally liable for your partner's actions.

What are the key elements that should be included in a partnership agreement?
I am currently in the process of starting a business with a close friend, and we have decided to form a partnership. We have already discussed our roles and responsibilities, as well as the financial contributions and distributions. However, we are unsure about what other important aspects should be covered in our partnership agreement. We want to ensure that all our rights and obligations are clearly defined, and that we have a solid legal foundation for our business relationship. Therefore, we would like to consult with a lawyer to understand the key elements that should be included in our partnership agreement.
Merry K.
The following is provided as educational information, not legal advice. Before finalizing a partnership agreement, each party should be represented and guided by their own attorney. Also, agreements will differ depending on the type of activities/business plan/business, as roles and responsibilities, and dispute resolution, may depend on numerous factors. I consulted Chat GPT to generate a basic list for you, and it's pretty good: Creating a comprehensive partnership agreement is essential to ensure clarity and prevent future disputes. Here are key elements that should be included: Partnership Name: The official name under which the partnership will operate. Business Purpose: A clear description of the business activities the partnership will engage in. Partners' Contributions: Initial capital contributions of each partner (cash, property, services). Future contributions and obligations. Ownership Interests: The percentage of ownership each partner holds. Profit and Loss Distribution: How profits and losses will be allocated among partners. Decision Making: Voting rights of each partner. Procedures for making major decisions (e.g., unanimous consent, majority vote). Management and Duties: Roles and responsibilities of each partner. Day-to-day management responsibilities. Withdrawal or Death of a Partner: Procedures for a partner wishing to leave the partnership. Buyout terms and conditions. Handling the death or incapacity of a partner. Dispute Resolution: Methods for resolving disputes (e.g., mediation, arbitration). Duration of Partnership: The term of the partnership (fixed-term or at-will). Dissolution: Events that trigger dissolution. Procedures for winding up the business. Non-Compete Clause: Restrictions on partners engaging in similar businesses during and after the partnership. Confidentiality Clause: Obligation to keep partnership information confidential. Amendments: Procedures for amending the partnership agreement. Governing Law: The jurisdiction whose laws will govern the agreement. Indemnification: Protection of partners from liability for actions taken on behalf of the partnership. Including these elements in your partnership agreement will help ensure a clear understanding among partners and provide a framework for handling various situations that may arise.
