Assignment Of Partnership Interest
California
Can a partner assign their interest in a partnership without the consent of the other partners?
Can a partner, who is dissatisfied with the partnership and wishes to exit, legally assign their interest in the partnership to a third party without the consent of the other partners, and what are the potential implications or restrictions that may arise from such an assignment? I am currently a partner in a business that operates as a partnership, but due to personal circumstances, I am looking to leave the partnership and transfer my interest to another individual who is interested in joining. However, the other partners have been resistant to the idea of allowing me to assign my interest, and I am unsure of the legal rights and obligations surrounding this matter.
Dawn K.
You don't say what the partnership entity structure is, so I'm going to answer this as if it was an LLC. If this is just a partnership agreement that operates as a different structure, the answer would be found in whatever the partnership agreement says, but many "partnership" entities that I see in practice are formed with an LLC structure, with the partners as "members." If you are an LLC, it is time to look at your operating agreement. If you do not have one, you'll be under the "default rules" in California. There are two potential structures- a "manager" managed LLC and a "member" managed LLC, you'll need to look at your specific operating agreement to see whether your LLC is specified as "manager" managed. If you do not have one, by default, your business is more than likely, a member managed LLC. Generally, and this is education, not legal advice, there are specific acts that require unanimous consent of all members- and this may include transfer of interests- depending on any restrictions in the Operating Agreement. I would start from the documentation you signed to create the partnership, whether it is a stand-alone partnership agreement or an LLC and if you have an LLC structure look for whether your company is under the default rules or what the Operating Agreement states regarding transfers.

Consulting Agreement
North Carolina
Can I draft my own consulting agreement?
I am a small business owner who is looking to hire a consultant to help with my business strategy. I am interested in drafting my own consulting agreement, but am unsure of the legal requirements and implications of doing so. I want to make sure I am following all of the necessary legal guidelines to protect both myself and the consultant.
N'kia N.
A small business that wishes to draft an agreement for hiring a consultant should consider various legal requirements and implications. For just a few examples: 1. An agreement is not a valid and enforceable "contract" unless it contains certain essential elements. 2. Issues like ambiguity, contradiction, and vagueness in an agreement can be (and sometimes must be) interpreted against the drafting party. 3. Drafting an agreement for a person who will be providing individual services is a factor that could be used to interpret the relationship as "employment" when it was not intended to be. Since consultants are usually experts of some sort, they often make their living by providing their consulting services to numerous clients. Therefore, most consultants have their own consulting agreements to present to their prospective clients. A knowledgeable North Carolina attorney can assist with drafting, reviewing, or negotiating a consulting agreement. Even if you decide to handle a consulting agreement on your own, a legal consultation can provide guidance to help you get things started on the right foot. Good luck!

Distribution Agreement
Illinois
My manufacturer is in China, do you write contract agreements for the sales of my products?
I have a patent pending on my product. I have one product being made into a sample now with a China manufacturer. They are also developing another new product to work along with the initial product. I need an attorney to write up a contract license agreement for the sales and distribution of my products. I am in the process of developing a trademark to put all my products under.
Octavia P.
You are on the right track since a well-drafted distribution/licensing agreement(s) is absolutely essential to protect an inventor’s IP rights when outsourcing the manufacturing of proprietary products. You can post your question, as a project, on this platform to receive and compare multiple proposals from licensed attorneys who are registered and verified. Once you receive a response(s) you will be able to correspond through the platform or request a call to help with your decision to hire a particular attorney for the project. Best of luck!

Business Contracts
OEM Agreement
New York
Can you explain the key terms and provisions typically included in an OEM Agreement?
I am in the process of entering into an OEM Agreement with a manufacturing company to produce and distribute a product based on my company's design and specifications. While I have a general understanding of OEM agreements, I am unsure about the specific terms and provisions that should be included to protect my interests and ensure a successful partnership. I want to ensure that the agreement covers important aspects such as intellectual property rights, quality control, pricing, confidentiality, and termination provisions. Can you provide guidance and explain the standard or recommended provisions typically included in an OEM Agreement?
Damien B.
Hello! An OEM Agreement can include the provisions that you mention as well as other important provisions. I think the most important is determining what goes under each of the provisions. For example, the provisions should designate who owns the IP and how IP infringement claims or other breach of contract claims are handled. Also, the agreement would state what restrictions there are on IP use. Manufacturer indemnity clauses are important too. Having an attorney provide legal counsel with whom you can bounce ideas off of and who can draft or edit the agreement is the best way to go.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
