How can I make a legal contract signature with no experience?
I'm currently making a new crypto coin with my friend. I want to make an official personal contract signature so that my friend doesn't resign or remove me from his team even though I am the founder. So, the point is that if my friend wanted to do the same, he couldn't because he already had a contract signed.

What about confidentiality in a partnership agreement?
I am starting a business with a partner and we are in the process of creating a Partnership Agreement. We both want to ensure that anything discussed or shared between us as part of the business is kept confidential. We are looking for advice on how to ensure that this is upheld in the Partnership Agreement.

You can sign a Non-Disclosure provision within the Partnership Agreement or as a separate document. These are fairly standard and can be drafted quickly and easily.

Can a partnership agreement be modified without the consent of all partners?
I am currently a partner in a small business with two other individuals, and we have a partnership agreement in place that outlines our rights, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangements. However, I have recently been approached by one of the partners who wants to make significant changes to the agreement, including altering the profit-sharing percentages and the decision-making process. I am concerned about the potential impact these changes could have on my rights and the overall stability of the partnership. Therefore, I would like to know if it is legally permissible for the partnership agreement to be modified without the unanimous consent of all partners, and what steps I can take to protect my interests in this situation.
Lorraine C.
I understand your concern regarding modification of an existing partnership agreement. However, the answer is "it depends," which no client wants to hear. The specific terms of the partnership agreement would control whether modification without unanimous consent was proper -- and the only way to make that determination is to have an attorney review the partnership agreement and advise you. I hope this helps! Lorraine Coats, Esq.
