Business Legal Questions and Answers

LLC

Florida

Asked on Jul 16, 2025

What are the steps involved in forming an LLC?

I am interested in starting my own business and have decided that forming a limited liability company (LLC) is the best option for me. However, I am unsure about the specific steps involved in the LLC formation process, such as filing the necessary paperwork, obtaining an employer identification number (EIN), and drafting an operating agreement. I would like to understand the entire process in order to ensure that I comply with all legal requirements and set up my LLC properly.

Ralph S.

Answered Aug 1, 2025

An attorney on this site can help you with all the steps, some offer it a a package. You first need to decide on the membership structure (who owns what). File Articles of Organization with the State, obtain your ein, draft your operating agreement (have a discussion re who does what), prepare your members resolutions/ have a meeting- to issue your membership interests and appoint the person to open your bank account. Verify what subsequent steps you need to take in your county/city because these are different; verify if your kind of activity requires registration with state and or county. With regard to address and documents, remember that Florida requires a physical address (no PO Box) and that banks have been more and more difficult about using virtual addresses in recent months.

Liquor License

Maine

Asked on May 13, 2022

Need help for a liquor license for a lounge/club

Need a liquor license asap in portland, or around. Maine.

Craig M.

Answered May 17, 2022

It is a multi-step process to obtain a liquor license in Portland, Maine. You must obtain approval from the City, after first obtaining approval from the Code Enforcement Officer, Public Services, Fire, Health Services, Treasury, and Police. You may also need to create an LLC or other business entity, register with the Secretary of State, obtain an EIN, among other things. I can assist at my normal hourly rate of $200, and would require a $5000 legal advance, payable through Contracts Counsel to assist. The fee Contracts Counsel charges is nonrefundable, otherwise, itemized invoicing will be periodically provided, and any unearned fees will be reimbursed to the client at the end of the project.

Website Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jan 27, 2025

Is it necessary for my website to have a Terms of Service agreement?

I am in the process of launching a new website that will offer services and allow users to create accounts. I have heard that having a Terms of Service agreement is important to protect my website and outline the rights and responsibilities of users, but I am unsure if it is legally necessary and what specific elements it should include.

Jennifer B.

Answered Jan 28, 2025

Every website that offers services and lets users create accounts needs Terms of Service - it's like having a contract with your users. It's crucial, especially in Texas. Recent Texas court cases have made it clear: you need to make sure users actually see and agree to your terms. The StubHub case is a perfect example. The court looked at whether users had fair notice of the terms and actively showed they agreed to them. The best way to do this is with what we call a "clickwrap" agreement - that's where users have to click "I agree" during sign-up. Your Terms of Service should include: ACCEPTANCE: Clear instructions on how users accept the terms - that "I agree" button. Then, spell out exactly what services you're providing and what users can and can't do on your site. PRIVACY POLICY: You'll also need a privacy policy section that explains how you handle user data. Depending upon your services and the nature of the data you are collecting and from where your users are arriving, you may need separate detailed privacy policy and a cookie policy. ADDITIONAL: You'll want sections on how disputes get resolved (like arbitration), limits on your liability, and your right to update the terms later. Getting this right protects you legally and sets clear expectations with your users.

Data Transfer Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 27, 2022

New companies databases is possible?

We're a US-based company with clients around the country. We help new, small and medium businesses to grow as well. Although, we do it through marketing and sales strategies. I was wondering if an attorney is able to sell databases of companies that have recently been created in the US. What we want to do is to help these companies to grow (to be on the map, so to speak) with our strategies. I can provide more details if required. Thanks in advance

Adjckwc B.

Answered Jan 6, 2023

Business formation is public record in most states in the US. Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming are exceptions. If you are looking for data on newly formed companies you can obtain the same from the Secretary of State. There are also many companies who offer data lists for sale. If you need a data transfer agreement we can assist with that as well.

Noncompete Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 12, 2023

Noncompete agreement and business partners?

I am a business owner who has recently acquired a new partner. We are in the process of drafting a Noncompete Agreement to ensure that neither of us will compete against each other in the same market. We are looking for advice on what should be included in the agreement and how it should be enforced.

Daniel D.

Answered Aug 4, 2023

The one thing to make sure with noncompete agreements is that it is reasonable in terms of duration and the area you cannot compete in. Courts use a reasonableness test to determine whether a noncompete agreement is valid. If provisions are deemed to be unreasonable and fail the test, they could be altered or struck out of the agreement.
