Contract and Business Law Attorney

Let me use my years of experience as a business and corporate attorney to assist you with your legal needs and I am sure you will be pleased with the added value I bring to the table. BUSINESS CONTRACTS AND TRANSACTIONS I have handled numerous business transactions such as sale of a business, asset purchase agreements, adding partners or members to a limited liability company, and advising on joint ventures. Just some of the many contracts I have drafted include: - Consulting Agreements; - Operating Agreements; - Partnership Agreements; - Founder Agreements; - Joint Venture Agreements; - Shareholder Agreements; - Independent Contractor Agreements; - Confidentiality Agreements; - Non-circumvention and Non-disclosure Agreements; - Non-solicitation Agreements; - Settlement Agreements with Non-Dispaaragement Clauses; - Hold Harmless and Indemnity Agreements; - Warranty and Disclaimer Clauses; - Distribution Agreements; - Licensing Agreements; - Finder's Fee Agreements; - Website Terms and Conditions; - Website Privacy Policies; - Employment Agreements; - Financing Agreements; - Term Sheets; and - Memoranda of Understanding. WEBSITES Regarding website Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies I can usually offer a flat rate fee after discussing the matter further and finding out exactly what type of website is involved. If it is not an Interactive website or platform (web visitors cannot leave comments, reviews, or network with one another) then it is different than the disclosures and disclaimers I use for a site that does allow visitors and customers to interact. The liability and risk issues are much different. I have done over 20 Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policies Disclaimers, and Refund Policies for the following types of websites in just the past 2 years: - subscription based platforms - hiring/networking based platforms - ecommerce companies - service based companies - financial information websites - SaaS businesses - PaaS (Platform as a Service) - news and informational websites - crypto platforms BUSINESS PLANNING AND STRATEGY I have advised many business clients, large and small, with planning and strategy, strategic relationships, corporate restructuring, international product sales, capital raising options, deal structure, term sheet proposals, as well as funding and financing options. I have advised clients regarding PaaS, subscription based, and networking themed businesses. BUSINESS FORMATION AND STRUCTURING My law practice has involved representing clients in business matters, including structuring all forms of legal entities and preparing contracts such as partnership agreements, joint venture agreements, operating agreements for LLCs, shareholder agreements, purchase agreements, and employment agreements. I have also advised clients in joint venture structuring, provided networking opportunities, and structured various transactions to meet the needs of my clients. Often I assist my clients with the drafting of a term sheet or memorandum of understanding to make sure the parties are in agreement before contracts are drafted. Please reach out to me so we can have a free, short call and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have and explain why I am the best fit for your project. I can usually offer a flat rate fee after discussing the documents or legal services that are needed.
