Frequently Asked Questions - Business Law
Do I need a lawyer to draft or review a contract?
Yes! While templates are widely available online, a lawyer ensures the agreement is tailored to your business, enforceable under Nevada law, and protective of your specific interests. We help identify vague or risky language and ensure that key terms are clearly defined. We have more than 30 years of experience, and have litigated countless cases, so we know the pitfalls in contracts.
Do I need an operating / partnership agreement for my business?
Yes! In nearly all cases, you should have an operating agreement, even if you are the sole member of your LLC. Here’s why:
1. Legal Protection
An operating agreement helps preserve the limited liability protection of your LLC. Without one, courts may be more likely to “pierce the corporate veil” and hold you personally liable for business debts or lawsuits.
2. Clarity and Control
The agreement sets clear rules for ownership, decision-making, profit-sharing, and what happens if a member leaves or dies. This helps prevent disputes and ensures smooth day-to-day operations.
3. Required in Practice
While Nevada does not legally require a written operating agreement, banks often ask for it when opening a business account. Investors, lenders, and courts also look for one as evidence of a well-run company.
4. Customized Terms
Without an operating agreement, your LLC is governed by default state rules, which may not reflect your actual intentions. A custom agreement allows you to define the terms of your business your way.
5. Planning for Growth or Disputes
If you ever bring in partners, sell the business, or face a conflict, the operating agreement is your roadmap. It outlines procedures and reduces the risk of litigation or misunderstanding.
Can you help resolve a business dispute before it becomes a lawsuit?
Yes! We work proactively to resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation whenever possible. However, if litigation becomes necessary, we are fully prepared to represent you in court and enforce your rights.
What happens if a party breaches a contract?
If a contract is breached, legal remedies may include damages (compensation for loss), specific performance (requiring the party to perform), or cancellation and restitution. We will evaluate your situation and pursue the appropriate legal action to protect your interests.
What does it cost to hire a business attorney?
We offer transparent billing and often provide flat-rate options for contract drafting or review. For litigation or more complex matters, we typically work on an hourly basis and provide a detailed estimate up front.
We also do not use multiple time keepers (partner, associate, paralegal) nor bill for client communications, which results in massive savings for clients.
