Rebecca S.
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.

What is a partnership agreement?
I am starting a business with a partner and we are looking to create a partnership agreement. We want to make sure that all of our rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined in the agreement in order to protect both of us. We want to be sure that we have a clear understanding of our obligations to each other and the business. We also want to make sure that our agreement is legally binding.
Darryl S.
A partnership agreement is a legally binding contract between two or more partners that clearly outlines the terms of their business relationship. It details each partner's rights, responsibilities, share of ownership and profits, as well as what happens when a partner leaves or dies. Having a clear partnership agreement is crucial for avoiding future disputes or uncertainties that could undermine the partnership.

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?

How to ensure clarity in a partnership agreement?
I am looking to form a partnership with another individual. We are both going to be investing in the same business and want to ensure that our interests are well protected. We have drafted a partnership agreement but are not sure if it is clear enough. We want to make sure that there are no misunderstandings between us and that our interests are clearly defined. We need help to make sure that the partnership agreement is clear and unambiguous.
Darryl S.
Having an attorney review the current draft will provide an objective perspective on any gaps or areas lacking clarity in your agreement. Investing a little more upfront will prevent issues later should disputes arise. Please let me know if you need any other specific suggestions on strengthening your partnership agreement.

Who manages a general partnership?
I am currently in a general partnership with another individual to run a business. While we share equal ownership and responsibility for the business, I am unsure of who has the authority to make management decisions on behalf of the partnership. I would like to seek the guidance of a lawyer to better understand the management structure of a general partnership and ensure that our business is being managed correctly.
O.T. W.
Your operating agreement should detail who has what responsibilities between the two of you, and it should establish checks and balances for each of your roles.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
