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 Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing.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

Hi, I'm Randy. I've been practicing law for over 30 years, with extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and revising contracts for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses. I spent nearly 15 years running my own law practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I represented small business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, and clients in the entertainment industry. That experience taught me that a good contract must do more than address legal requirements. It should clearly define the parties' rights and obligations, anticipate practical problems, and protect my client's interests if the relationship does not go as planned. Contract drafting and review are major parts of my practice. Over the course of my career, I've drafted and reviewed hundreds of agreements. I also review contracts prepared by other attorneys, businesses, and individuals to identify legal issues, assess enforceability, and identify potential compliance issues under current applicable law. My experience includes: • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements • Employment and independent contractor agreements • LLC operating agreements for single-member and multi-member LLCs • Consulting, coaching, freelancer, and professional services agreements • Residential and commercial leases • NDAs and confidentiality agreements • Entertainment industry agreements • Business formation and corporate documents • Other commercial and business contracts I also have substantial experience preparing estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. I'm currently based in New York City and am licensed to practice law in Virginia. I work remotely with clients on contract projects across the country. My approach is practical and straightforward. I take the time to understand the transaction, the client's objectives, and the risks that need to be addressed. I then draft an agreement that is clear, thorough, and usable in the real world. Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing contract reviewed, or revisions to a document you are negotiating, I can help you identify the important issues and prepare a contract that reflects your objectives. I would be glad to discuss your project and how I can help.

"Randy provided a thorough and thoughtful review of my waiver for my personal training business, researched legal requirements for my type of business in Virginia, and went above and beyond in trying to understand how they related to my specific business and services that I provide. He asked me clarifying questions as needed, was quick to respond to my questions, and provided recommendations for how to ensure my other processes fulfill the promise of my form. I highly recommend Randy and would hire him again for future legal review needs!"

Note Payable

Virginia

Asked on Sep 15, 2021

I loaned money to a 5013c organization, I want a lawyer to look over the contract, worried about them defaulting on it

I am worried about a 5013c organization defaulting on a promissary note, they do not seem to have their act together, want to have a lawyer look over the promissary note and get advice on what happens if they default on it

Donya G.

Answered Oct 5, 2021

Sure. I take it they have not yet signed as yet? You can draft the agreement with some protections to ensure payment; however, you need to keep in mind that payment will always be contingent on whether they have money to pay or not. I am a contracts attorney and if you you would like my services, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website, or post your job on the website and attorneys will respond to your job.

Severance Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Jun 14, 2023

Severance agreement and non-disparagement clauses?

I recently left my job and was offered a severance agreement. In the agreement there were two clauses, a non-compete clause and a non-disparagement clause. I am concerned about the implications of these two clauses and how they will impact my future career prospects. I am looking for clarification on the language of the clauses and what I am allowed to do, and not do, once I have signed the agreement.

Thomas L.

Answered Jun 16, 2023

I have drafted hundreds of non-competes and non-solicitiations (usually for the employer - always better to hire the other side when hiring lawyers). Thus I can provide you a review of the agreement in light of your career, and suggestions for improvement.

Photography Usage Rights Agreement

Washington

Asked on Aug 23, 2024

Can a photographer include a clause in a license agreement that prohibits the client from editing or altering the photographs?

I recently hired a photographer to take some professional headshots for my business. The photographer sent me a license agreement that includes a clause stating that I am not allowed to edit or alter the photographs in any way without their express permission. While I understand the importance of protecting the photographer's work, I also want to have the flexibility to make minor adjustments or enhancements to the images for my specific business needs. I'm wondering if this clause is legally enforceable and if there are any potential repercussions if I were to make edits without seeking permission.

Merry K.

Answered Sep 3, 2024

When entering into any type of contract with anyone and about anything, one of the parties can include any terms they desire as long as the term is not illegal. If you signed the license agreement before the photographer completed the work for you, you will need to seek and obtain express permission to edit or alter the photographs. If, however, the photographer sent you the agreement after he or she completed the work, including sending you the photos, and you paying for it, the photographer can't make you sign a contract after the fact, and such terms would likely not be enforceable. If you signed the agreement before the work was done, and you alter the photos, the photographer could sue you for breach of contract, copyright violation, and perhaps a few other types of intellectual property claims. If you like the photographer's work, it's best to work out arrangements with him or her or the company, because you may want a good relationship with them going forward. Moreover, the photographer may have a better skillset in regards to editing the photos to meet your needs. Please note that I am not accepting new work until the end of October - I just wanted to answer your question; I'm turning down all offers of work at this time. I also do not engage in litigation any more.

Business Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Oct 17, 2023

Can I update a business purchase agreement post-signing?

I recently purchased a business and signed a purchase agreement. However, I have since discovered that the agreement does not include certain terms that I believe are important to the transaction. I would like to know if it is possible to update the agreement post-signing to include these additional terms.

Damien B.

Answered Oct 21, 2023

Hello. You mention updating a purchase agreement. It sounds like your goal is to modify the agreement. And generally, the agreement itself would set forth how modifications can occur. Usually, modifications must be in writing upon the consent of the parties to the agreement. Therefore, if one party wants to modify the agreement because that party wants to include additional terms, the parties to the original agreement can enter into a written modification or addendum to the agreement.

Lease Agreement

Maryland

Asked on Jun 8, 2024

Can a landlord terminate a lease agreement early without providing any notice?

I recently signed a lease agreement for a residential property, and it clearly states that the lease term is for one year. However, after just three months of living in the property, the landlord informed me that they want to terminate the lease early and asked me to vacate the premises within a week. There was no mention of any early termination clause in the lease agreement, and I am unsure if the landlord has the right to terminate the lease without providing any notice. I would like to know what my rights are in this situation and if I am entitled to any compensation for the inconvenience and unexpected expense of finding a new place to live.

Susan T.

Answered Jun 25, 2024

Although the contract determines the parties rights, it can never break the law of the land. So if your city, state, and/or county, requires the landlord to provide notice to terminate, and most do, the law of the land will prevail. You can make him go to court and try to evict you. If he's breaking the law, he won't even try. If you don't mind leaving early, you could always offer to leave early if he pays you money.
