Hi there. My boss has me as a 1099 employee. Is she legally allowed to give us a contract that I have to sign?
I am a hairstylist. I pay my own taxes every year as a self employed person. Yet my boss sets rules and takes 50% of my commission. I have no idea if any of what she’s doing is legal.

I would need a lot more info to answer this question.. is she directing how you do your job? Is there a contractor agreement in place? Just having you sign a contract is not illegal, however.

Me and my friends are planning to start a business.but using using my Friend's place..so what type of contract should I look into??
Can I draft my own contract and take it to police to stamp it after reaching my agreement with my friend,?

In most cases, contracts only need to be signed by the parties to the contract. The contract should have the key information related t the parties signing and the terms and length of the agreement to name a few clauses that need to be included. There are some contracts that need to be notarized. The police may have a notary, but your bank may also. There are many components to your question - ownership of the business, who does what in the business, business formation, is there a need for insurance to cover risks, and other items. There are tools online to help or you can use an attorney. With an attorney you will get specific assistance for your business, online it may be more generalized information you find.

I am being harassed by a vendor for the balance due for product that i have not received yet. Can i take them to court?
After receiving the incorrect product, the vendor presented me with a fake contract with my signature copy pasted on it to tell me I i agreed on the replacement product for my order. They claim they had a second meeting with me and this new contract was signed but that never happened.

I would suggest hiring an attorney in your jurisdiction to send a cease and desist letter to the vendor or have them simply call the vendor nd tell them to stop harassing you. For a cease and desist to have the effect that matters, it should be from a licensed attorney in that state who can file any case in court if the matter is not addressed or continues to happen. I am an attorney licensed in New York and Connecticut. There are numerous attorneys on this website from other states. If you would like me to assist, please contact me through the site or post your jobs for another attorney. All the best Donya Gordon

Can I create a contract that bars any form of dispute resolution (Jury trial and Mediation/Arbitration) if a client fails to dispute an invoice within 7 days of receipt.
I own a growing security guard firm and all my clients sign a service contract before we provide services. In order to reduce the stress of collecting from a slow playing client, I want to create a new contract that makes it impossible to dispute an invoice after 7 days of receipt.
Donya G.
While you may create a contract without dispute resolution, the issue is whether it would be enforceable by any court. Seeing that a contract is between two parties and disputes arise, by barring any resolution, it would essentially not afford a party an opportunity to be heard. I do not believe a court would allow of enforce such a position. If you need additional assistance you can find me on the Contracts Counsel website and I can provide my legal services to you.

Who reviews consulting agreements?
Who can I get to review a 5 page CONSULTING AGREEMENT that a potential client has sent me? I am an independent consultant, specializing in website design and online marketing. A prospective client has sent me a 'fully loaded' CONSULTING AGREEMENT. The contract is more detailed than I have dealt with before, so I feel need legal support to review it and protect my interests.

we are located in florida but were told delaware is a good satte to incorporaet the business
Bruce B.
Yes. Many businesses choose to incorporate in Delaware because Delaware has favorable laws to business entities as well as a detailed history of how cases will by decided by their courts. For this reason Delaware is a good option to consider for incorporation. You can then register with the State of Florida as a foreign corporation doing business in Florida.
