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.
"Rebecca you were awesome I appreciate you working with me and helping me get this done. I look forward to working with you in the future."

Certificate of Organization
North Carolina
What is the process for obtaining a Certificate of Organization?
I am in the process of starting a small business and I have been researching the necessary legal requirements. I came across the term 'Certificate of Organization' and I am not sure what it entails or how to obtain one. I understand that it is a document required for certain types of businesses, but I would like more information on the specific steps involved, any associated costs, and any potential legal implications.
David W.
In North Carolina, a Certificate of Organization is a legal document filed with the Secretary of State to formally establish a limited liability company (LLC). If that is the business entity you've decided is best for you, then starting an LLC involves just a handful of key steps: Pick a Name: Find a business name that is unique and includes “LLC” or “Limited Liability Company.” Designate a Registered Agent: Choose someone who will receive legal notice on behalf of your LLC. This person or business must have a physical address in North Carolina. Prepare the Certificate: Fill out the Certificate of Organization form with details like your LLC’s name and the registered agent’s information. File the Certificate: Submit it to the North Carolina Secretary of State. This is your official step to form your LLC. The filing fee is $125. The Secretary of State also charges a $200 annual report fee to keep your LLC in good standing each year. Operating Agreement: Although not required, it’s a good idea to have one. It sets out how your LLC will be run and what each member’s role is. Taxes: Register for any state taxes you might begin to owe and obtain an EIN from the IRS for federal taxes. An LLC can be a good way to separate business and individual assets, and can serve as an effective liability shield. There are a number of differences among the various types of small business entities that you may wish to discuss with an attorney. The foregoing is not legal advice.

Partnership Agreement
California
How to dissolve a partnership agreement?
I want to get out of a partnership we have with another business where we are sharing profits from products we're selling. It isn't working out and the other party isn't living up to their obligations based on what we initially discuss.
Michael M.
Usually, partnership agreements have a termination provision which addresses when and how the partnership can be terminated. Typically, termination occurs upon the vote of the partners or upon the occurrence of an event or number of years.

Project Collaboration Agreement
California
What are the key provisions that should be included in a Project Collaboration Agreement?
with background: I am currently working on a collaborative project with another individual and we want to formalize our agreement through a Project Collaboration Agreement. We plan to work together to develop and market a new software product. We have already discussed the general terms of our collaboration, but we want to ensure that the agreement covers all necessary provisions to protect both parties' interests, including ownership of intellectual property, profit sharing, dispute resolution, and confidentiality. What are the key provisions that should be included in a Project Collaboration Agreement to ensure a fair and comprehensive agreement for both parties?
Dolan W.
Hello and welcome to ContractsCounsel.com! My name is Dolan. So first things first is the scope of work. You don't want "project creep" to show up. Lawyers often have to deal with this as well because sometimes the scope of what we do is exceeded by clients on occasion, so being clear on the scope is super important. Also, if you’re both putting in money or other resources, spell out what those are and how they’ll be tracked and you might want to include details on how future expenses will be approved and who’s footing the bill for what. Confidentiality and what to do with the IP is also going to be super important, too. Also, other things like what happens if a party doesn't perform, how you'll handle disputes, where you will handle them, and where notices will be sent are super important. Also, what about decision-making disputes? Think about how those will get handled. Finally, think about profit sharing as well! Come on back to this site and we can draft one up for you!
