Lease Reviewing
A lease is a legal document which should
not be signed without some careful
thought. Read it over carefully. Always seek legal advice before vacating
or signing any documents.
Lease types:
-
Residential
- Commercial
- Equipment
- Agricultural
- Differences between commercial and
residential leases
- Breaking leases
- Illegal dwellings
Be prepared with a list of points you
are concerned about so you may bring
them up in our consultation.
Pre-nuptial Agreement Consultations:
Setting out each party's assets, debts,
and property/possessions rights before
the marriage.
Settling the question of division of
property and of spousal support in the
event of marriage cessation.
Ensuring your estate is dispersed
according to your wishes upon your death
Protecting your wishes upon your death
from additional claims by your spouse.
Protecting the well-being of children
from a previous marriage.
Commercial Distribution Agreements:
These are usually the most that bring a
lot of problems to a business person. We
offer a great deal of knowledge in this
area.
Buy Sell Agreements:
The issues faced in drafting a buy-sell
agreement are complex and difficult.
What is the purpose of a buy-sell
agreement?
General buy-sell agreements:
Agreements that only restrict the
transfer of shares.
Agreements that institute the value of
shares for estate tax reasons.
Many business owners work rigorous hours
that turn into years trying to develop a
successful business. But without an
appropriately planned buy-sell
agreement, the business may become
worthless at the disability, retirement
and/or death of a key owner. We examine
key concepts in order to implement a
buy-sell agreement.
Employment Agreements:
You may want some high-level employees
to sign a formal Employment Agreement
(or they may ask for one). A
well-drafted employment agreement
addresses the following key issues:
- The job position/rank
- Whether the position can be changed by
the employer
- The length of the agreement
- The salary, bonus, and incentives
- Whether the employee gets stock or stock
options in the company (remember, the
employee should typically earn these
over time)
- When the employee can be terminated for
good cause
- What is the good cause
- When the employee can be terminated
without good cause and what severance
payment will be due
- The employee's job responsibilities
- The employee's privacy obligations
- Where and how argument will be handled
Independent Contractor Agreements:
Independent contractor contracts are the
usual strategy to getting on your feet.
It’s always a better idea to have an
attorney check even a detailed adaptable
agreement or custom tailor one for you,
to make sure it covers every possibility
for your specific niche. If you have any doubts on a contract,
ask an attorney to check it before you
sign.
Restrictive Covenants:
The laws vary from state to state, what
may be a reasonable restriction in one
state may be considered overreaching in
another.
A restrictive covenant must be tailored
for the state in which it is being used
because if not done so it may result in
having a valueless and unenforceable
covenant.The agreement has been tailored to the
law of the state in which the employee
actually works.
Sale/Purchase of Business:
Whether it is a business sale agreement
or business purchase agreement, a
contract is always written between two
or more individuals for the purpose of
buying or selling of a business.
We help you with the contracts and forms
to successfully buy, sell, and appraise
your business.
