I absolutely love helping my clients buy their first home, sell their starters, upgrade to their next big adventure, or transition to their next phase of life. The confidence my clients have going into a transaction and through the whole process is one of the most rewarding aspects of practicing this type of law. My very first class in law school was property law, and let me tell you, this was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I remember vividly cracking open that big red book and staring at the pages not having the faintest idea what I was actually reading. Despite those initial scary moments, I grew to love property law. My obsession with real estate law was solidified when I was working in Virginia at a law firm outside DC. I ran the settlement (escrow) department and learned the ins and outs of transactions and the unique needs of the parties. My husband and I bought our first home in Virginia in 2012 and despite being an attorney, there was so much we didn’t know, especially when it came to our HOA and our mortgage. Our real estate agent was a wonderful resource for finding our home and negotiating some of the key terms, but there was something missing in the process. I’ve spent the last 10 years helping those who were in the same situation we were in better understand the process.

Business Contracts
Service Provider Agreement
Virginia
What contracts do I need for my business?
Hello, My name is Brian Vargas and I’m the CEO & Founder of chorrz.com - an e-commerce platform website that will provide apartment cleaning services through leveraging partnerships with local cleaning providers. My company CHORRZ would operate as follows - I would be partnering with local cleaning providers - (i.e., Marie’s Cleaning Service) who already have their own insurance and this entity would be providing the clean upon being booked by the apartment resident through my platform, chorrz.com. These cleaning providers would effectively be independent contractors and not my employees as CHORRZ is only the platform for seeing local cleaners to book a clean from. My question relates to which type of contract or agreement is suitable for this style of business? A Service Partnership Agreement or maybe an Independent Contractor Agreement? I’ll be partnering with cleaning businesses run by 1 person (the owner) and cleaning companies with multiple cleaners employed. Kind regards, Brian
Jane C.
I suggest you have a consultation with an attorney. A service agreement or independent contractor contract may work depending on the circumstances. Best of luck with your new venture.

Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
How are taxes covered in a contractor agreement?
I am an independent contractor that recently signed an agreement with a client. I am looking to understand how taxes are covered in the agreement, as I am unsure if the client is responsible for paying my taxes or if I am responsible for taking care of them myself. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all tax regulations and that my agreement accurately reflects this.
N'kia N.
Independent contractors are separate ("independent") from the recipients of their services ("clients"). Clients do not make payroll deductions and withholdings from their independent contractors' pay like they would for their employees' pay. Rather, independent contractors are responsible for handling their own taxes. Ideally, independent contractors should have ongoing tax support to help ensure compliance with the tax regulations, as well as legal support of a knowledgeable attorney to review or help negotiate contract offers.

Business contract for temporary projects?
I am a freelancer looking to take on temporary projects. I am currently in the process of creating a business contract for these projects, but I am unsure of what to include in the contract or what rights and responsibilities I should include for both parties. I would like to understand the legal implications of such a contract and ensure that I am adequately protected.
Eddy M.
You should have a simple template that can be used for multiple projects. The key terms to include are: - Contract period - Your specific responsibilities and deliverables - Fees and payment terms - Who owns the work - Non-disclosure clauses - Termination rights (for both parties) if things don't go well - Indemnification (i.e. if something goes wrong, who is responsible for what) This can be a relatively simple contract that can be revised quickly and for multiple clients. One thing to note is that companies will typically prefer to use their own vendor contracts, so you might end up having to review and use their contract instead of yours.

Asset Purchase Agreement
North Carolina
Are third-party consents required in an asset purchase agreement?
I am a small business owner looking to purchase a business asset from another company. I have been presented with an Asset Purchase Agreement and I am looking to understand the implications of the agreement. I am particularly interested in whether third-party consents are required in such agreements and what the process would be to obtain such consents.
N'kia N.
Asset Purchase Agreements sometimes, but do not always, require third-party consent. For example, security agreements (like mortgage agreements) typically include clauses prohibiting the debtors from assigning or transferring the assets used to secure the agreement. Similarly, franchise agreements typically contain clauses prohibiting franchisees from assigning or transferring franchise assets. Parties whose assets are subject to these types of "no assignment" clauses will likely need to obtain third-party consent before they can sell those assets.

What are common clauses in purchase agreements?
I am in the process of purchasing a business, and I am looking for more information on the common clauses in a purchase agreement. I need to understand what is typically included in a purchase agreement so that I can make sure all the necessary terms are included in the document. Additionally, I want to make sure that I am not missing out on any important provisions or language that could be beneficial to me.
Sarah S.
The purchase agreement includes essential clauses such as the identification of parties, a detailed description of the property or assets, the specified purchase price, payment terms, closing date, representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, details regarding default and remedies, confidentiality agreements, and termination conditions.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
