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 Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing.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 was thorough, patient, and got me a great result. Nothing more to say but let his work speak for itself."

Note Payable
Virginia
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.
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.

Contracts
Independent Contractor Agreement
Washington
How detailed should the contractor agreement be?
I am a small business owner and I am looking to hire an independent contractor to work with my business. I want to ensure that the independent contractor agreement is thorough and legally binding, but I am not sure how detailed it needs to be. I want to make sure that all the relevant terms and conditions are included in the agreement to protect both parties.
Merry K.
The agreement should be as detailed as possible, including details on how to dissolve the contract for various reasons. The scope of work should be included - if it's likely to change once in a while, include that as an addendum and note that it will change from time to time. Whenever it's going to change, execute a new addendum that both parties sign and date. It is your job to protect yourself, not the independent contractor - write the contract so that it strongly favors you; if the independent contractor wants to change it before signing, that is a question of negotiation.

Noncompete Agreement
Florida
Noncompete agreement choice of law?
I recently accepted a job offer with a new employer and they sent me a Noncompete Agreement to sign. I have some questions about the agreement, specifically related to the choice of law. My former employer and I are in different states, and I want to make sure I understand the implications of the agreement before signing.
Venus C.
Congratulations on your new job. Generally, a choice of law clause contained in a non-compete agreement indicates which state law will govern the contract. By way of general example, let's pretend we have a non-compete agreement that states the choice of law is Florida. Let's also pretend the parties to this agreement had a dispute and one party filed a lawsuit against the other in the state of New York. In this pretend scenario, because the parties agreed Florida to be their choice of law for the non-compete agreement, the court in New York would abide by that contractual agreement and apply Florida law. While choice of law clauses are commonly used to indicate what law will apply to a contract, the language used or omitted plays a significant role in their interpretation and enforceability.

Cloud Services Agreement
Georgia
What are the key provisions that should be included in a Cloud Services Agreement?
I am a small business owner planning to migrate my company's data and operations to a cloud service provider. I have been researching various providers and their service agreements, but I am unsure of what specific provisions should be included in a Cloud Services Agreement to protect my business's interests and ensure a smooth transition. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the essential clauses that should be included in such an agreement.
Jerome L.
Hi there, A Cloud Services Agreement is a critical document that defines the relationship between your business and the cloud provider. To protect your business’s operations, data, and interests, the agreement should include several essential provisions. Here is a breakdown of the most important clauses to include: Key Provisions in a Cloud Services Agreement: Scope of Services: Clearly define what services will be provided—such as storage, computing, backup, analytics, or software hosting—and whether they include onboarding support or technical assistance. Service Level Agreements (SLAs): This outlines uptime guarantees, performance benchmarks, and penalties or credits if the provider fails to meet them. Look for commitments around downtime, latency, and response times. Data Ownership & Access Rights: Your agreement should state that you retain ownership of your data at all times and have the right to access, retrieve, or delete it when needed. Data Security & Compliance: The provider must implement industry-standard security measures. Make sure the agreement addresses encryption, access controls, data breach notification protocols, and compliance with relevant regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA). Confidentiality: The agreement should include strong provisions to protect your confidential business information and trade secrets. Termination & Data Return: Specify what happens if you end the contract: How will your data be returned? How long will it be retained after termination? Will they securely delete all copies? Disaster Recovery & Backup: Ensure there are clear procedures for data backup, redundancy, and recovery in the event of a system failure or breach. Liability & Indemnification: Limit your liability while ensuring the provider is responsible for issues like data loss, service outages, or unauthorized access caused by their negligence. Pricing & Payment Terms: Include clear details on cost structure, billing frequency, overage charges, and whether pricing can change during the contract term. Subcontracting & Data Location: Ask whether your data will be handled by third-party vendors or stored in specific geographic locations—and make sure you’re comfortable with both. Having a well-drafted Cloud Services Agreement ensures your business transitions to the cloud securely and confidently. If you would like help reviewing or negotiating terms with a provider, I would be happy to assist. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Business & Technology Contracts Attorney

Industrial Building Lease
Kansas
Can the landlord change the terms of an industrial building lease agreement without my consent?
I recently signed a lease agreement for an industrial building to use as a manufacturing facility for my business. However, the landlord has informed me that they want to make changes to certain terms of the lease, such as increasing the rent and reducing the duration of the lease, without seeking my consent. I am concerned about my rights as a tenant and whether the landlord has the authority to unilaterally modify the lease agreement without my agreement.
Cherie M.
Unless there is something in the agreement that states otherwise, no, they are not allowed to make those kinds of changes without your consent.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
