July 29, 2023 My name is Diamond Simpson Roberts, ESQ, MSPH and I am convinced that I can be a value added asset to most any company. As the first in my family to graduate a four-year university, I graduated from Wayne State University Law School in 2000 but could not afford a bar prep course upon completion. After over 20 years, I sat for the July 2022 UBE, successfully passed and am currently licensed in three states! This is an example of my self-motivation, internal drive and passion. I offer over 28 years of diverse experience in healthcare, strategy, sales/marketing, legal/policy and business savvy. I have many years building, leveraging, and sustaining long term relations to drive revenue as an entrepreneur and for corporations. My analytical strengths provide me with an innate ability to think through tough situations/topics while viewing both vantage points (which is excellent for law and life). I have been appointed to serve on numerous committees due to my heightened ability to identify client issues and priorities and provide solutions based upon relevant products, services and needs. I have led teams with and without authority; specifically, I have managed teams for an Adult Foster Care Facility called Etonne Cares, during my post-graduate fellowship with the largest Catholic Healthcare System in the U.S. and during my two-year executive order appointment with the Federal Government (Presidential Management Fellowship). Most importantly, I am a collaborative team player who knows how to improvise, overcome and adapt! I offer numerous years of being a pharmaceutical trainer and being an adjunct using the online platform. I welcome the opportunity to continue in the interview so that I may further highlight the skills I can (and will) contribute to my success in the role.

Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

Corporation Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 4, 2024

What are the legal steps involved in forming a corporation?

I am looking to start a business and have decided on forming a corporation. However, I am unsure about the legal requirements and steps involved in the process. I understand that there are different types of corporations, such as C corporations and S corporations, and I am curious to know the specific steps I need to take to properly form a corporation, including registering with the appropriate government agencies, drafting articles of incorporation, and any other necessary legal procedures. I want to ensure that I am following all the necessary legal guidelines to establish my corporation correctly.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 22, 2024

Hello! Congrats on your decision to start a business. First, begin by selecting a unique name for your corporation and ensure it complies with CA's naming requirements. You can do a name search here - https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business Next, you'll need to prepare and file articles of incorporation with your state's Secretary of State office. These articles typically include details like the corporation's name, purpose, registered agent, and the number of authorized shares of stock. You can do this on the BizFile Online website. Once the articles are filed, you'll need to appoint a board of directors who will oversee the corporation's activities. The board will then draft corporate bylaws (the internal rules). Then, you get an EIN. You can get an EIN online for free. We can always help with drafting the bylaws for you. Just come back to us! Best of luck! Dolan

Client Service Contract

Illinois

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

How does a contract protect your business?

I provide services to clients and I am considering getting a contract in place for my services. What are the benefits of having one? I haven't had any disputes with customers yet but I also want to make sure I am protected.

Michael S.

Answered Oct 18, 2022

With the caveat that I'm a Pennsylvania and not Illinois attorney, a contract establishes the rights and responsibilities of the parties. Whether you realize it, when you enter into a deal with a customer, you establish and oral contract. A written contract is much easier to enforce, and to prove the terms, because they are in writing. You are much less likely to run into disputes down the line. And for the most part, customers appreciate the certainty as well.

LLC Operating Agreement

Florida

Asked on Aug 8, 2021

What happens to LLC when member dies?

I want to create an operating agreement that explains what happens with the business in case one of the members died. We have an LLC. We want to create an operating agreement that states how the business will keep working in case one of our members dies.

Rishma E.

Answered Aug 23, 2021

Membership interests in an LLC are considered the personal property of the interests holders. As such, you will need to include clauses in which you specifically name beneficiaries for those membership interests upon death of the interests holders. You may additionally need to include procedures for transfer (for example through membership certificates).

Severance Agreement

New York

Asked on Jun 9, 2024

Can I negotiate the terms of a severance agreement with my employer?

I have recently been informed by my employer that my position is being eliminated due to company restructuring, and they have offered me a severance agreement. However, I have concerns about some of the terms in the agreement, such as the non-compete clause and the amount of severance pay being offered. I would like to know if it is possible for me to negotiate these terms with my employer before signing the agreement.

Arthur S.

Answered Jul 23, 2024

Severance Agreements are often presented to employees as a "take it or leave it proposition": however, it has been my experience that many of the underlying provisions of these severance agreements are, in fact, negotiable. Also, as an employee, you are not without rights...a fact that is often, though reluctantly, recognized by employers. the agreements prepared on behalf of employers are often heavy handed and should not be entered into by the employee without advice of coounsel./

LLC

Connecticut

Asked on Jun 1, 2023

How does an LLC work?

I am in the process of starting a business and have been advised to form an LLC. I am not familiar with the structure of an LLC, and am interested in learning more about how it works and the benefits it provides. I would like to understand the legal implications of forming an LLC and how it can help protect my personal assets.

Thomas L.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

Tax: An LLC is a "pass-through" entity, so it does not pay income taxes. Instead, its owners pay income taxes on their share of the LLCs profits. So it avoids the double taxation of corporations (the corporate pays income taxes and then the stockholders pay income taxes on their dividends). 2. An LLC is controlled by its "Operating Agreement" (similar to corporate bylaws). An LLC can be set up as a limited partnership (passive investors, and the Managers have 100% control - e.g. real estate), a corporation (the investors get to vote once a year for a "Board of Managers" - a business with significant investment), or a partnership (no board, the owners all vote on every issue - a professional services firm). The choice depends on the nature of the business.
