By |April 30th, 2016|Categories: blog, Business Formation, Business Law|Tags: , |Comments Off on Top 10 Things Business Owners Need to Know About Entering Into Business Contracts

[column width="1/1" last="true" title="" title_type="single" animation="none" implicit="true"] Litigation may be the only recourse for some business owners, as it often results when someone enters into a contract without fully examining what they are signing. At Tony M. May P.C., we see all types of businesses dealing with a variety of issues stemming from poorly written contracts, to those that signed contracts without actually understanding what they agreed to. If you are in the process of entering into a business contract, here are the top ten things you need to know beforehand to help protect you and your assets: All business contracts should be in writing. Oral agreements can be binding, but they are difficult to enforce in court. A written agreement is less risky and it clearly defines each party’s rights and obligations. Define each party’s rights and obligations. Defining the rights and obligations of both parties eliminates confusion, and makes it easier to plead your case in court as it has been clearly defined in the contract. Use clear language. Use clear language and terminology that you understand, so that you will be able to clearly determine your rights and obligations under the contract. Create short, clear sentences, with numbered paragraph headings to show a reader what is in the contract. Identify each party correctly. The contract should identify the accurate legal names of the parties involved. This is so they can determine their obligations to be performed under the contract, which includes using the full legal names of the corporations and/or LLCs that are parties to the contract.

May, P.C., specializes in construction law. “I was a civil engineer for several years before I went to law school, so I have a good understanding of the construction process,” said May. “We’ve represented every type of party in the construction arena: owners, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and engineers, and we range from any kind of construction dispute, contract review, and contract negotiations to labor and employment.” May’s firm recently had a big victory in overturning a $350,000 for a client. The ongoing case is the Board of Trustees of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local 525 Health and Welfare Trust and Plan et al v. Security Plumbing & Air Conditioning. The trust (plaintiff) filed a complaint stating Security Plumbing (defendant and May’s client) wasn’t producing documents for an audit. They asked the court for an order compelling the client to produce the documents, there was a misunderstanding, and the client never filed an answer.

Which Business Entity Should I Declare?

By |January 29th, 2016|Categories: blog, Business Formation|Tags: |Comments Off on Which Business Entity Should I Declare?

[column width="1/1" last="true" title="" title_type="single" animation="none" implicit="true"] When you have your own business, it can be a challenge in determining what type of business entity to declare. There are so many different options out there. Which option is the best for you and your business? Would it be best to declare it as a sole proprietorship? Or perhaps a Limited Liability Company (LLC) would be better in representing your business. In this article, we will break down the options with which types of business entities there are to declare, so you can better determine what will best benefit you and your business. Sole Proprietorship A sole proprietorship is a business where the owner is personally and solely liable for any legal responsibilities. This means that the business isn’t separate from the personal standings of the owner when it comes to any legal issues that may arise, such as a lawsuit. The business owner can claim their own business losses and profits on their annual personal tax returns. A sole proprietorship can be easy to form and operate for the business owner. No state filing is needed for a sole proprietorship. Partnerships A partnership is similar to a sole proprietorship, but there are shared aspects of the business. They are also easy to form and operate. Each partner in the business can claim their profits and losses on their own personal tax returns. No state filing is needed for a partnership. Limited Liability Companies (LLC) The business has an independent legal structure away from the personal legal liabilities of the owner(s). There is a separation between the assets of the business, and the owner. There aren’t any limitations in the number of owners, and there are [...]
