Phocus L.
G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.

Corporate
Business Partnership Agreement
Arizona
What to include in a business partnership agreement?
I want to learn what terms are typical in a partnership agreement. Background - I am wanting to create a partnership with an SEO agency (I provide digital ads/SEM services). I want to make sure we have the right terms around profit sharing and making sure they don't poach my clients without me getting a cut of the revenue. Any help is appreciated.
Michael S.
I recommend hiring an experienced corporate attorney to help negotiate and draft the agreement. You can't be given a list of 3 or 5 pointers and then expect to negotiate the agreement yourself. There are too many pitfalls. And you wouldn't expect someone to come to you and ask you how they can do for themselves what you do, right? It's more complicated than that, and there's a reason you're a professional.

Operating Agreement
New York
What happens if I never created an Operating Agreement for my LLC?
I am being told I need an Operating Agreement for a new LLC I started in NY. I want to know what happens if I don't get one.

If you do not create an Operating Agreement, the default rules in your state will apply. Disclaimer - This information is provided for general informational purposes only.

C Corp
New York
C corp and board composition?
I am a small business owner that is in the process of setting up a C Corporation. I am currently in the process of forming the board of directors and I want to make sure that I am following all of the necessary legal regulations. I want to ensure that I am properly setting up the board of directors and that the board is comprised of the correct individuals.
Michael S.
The specific requirements for the composition of a board are a matter of State law, so the answer would depend on where your corporation is incorporated and, in some circumstances, where it is physically located. The number of directors and the specific choice of whom to add to the Board is generally best determined on a case by case basis.
Corporate
Letter of Intent
Texas
Can a buyer back out of a purchase agreement?
I am trying to sell my company and the buyer has gone silent. We have top terms agreed to and a LOI signed, but we have not put a purchase agreement in place yet. Can they legally back out if we have a LOI signed?
Michael S.
With the caveat that I am a Pennsylvania and not Texas attorney, most LOI's are non-binding, unless the LOI itself provides otherwise. A lawyer would need to review the LOI to determine whether the deal can be enforced. Mostly likely, however, it cannot be enforced.

Legal Due Diligence Checklist
New York
What is the importance of legal due diligence in the process of acquiring a business?
I am currently in the process of acquiring a small business and I have been advised by my financial advisor to conduct legal due diligence before finalizing the deal. I understand that legal due diligence involves reviewing the legal aspects of the target company, such as contracts, licenses, litigation history, and compliance with laws and regulations. However, I am unsure about the specific benefits and importance of conducting legal due diligence in this situation. I want to know how this process can help me identify potential risks, liabilities, and legal issues associated with the target company, and how it can protect me from future legal complications or financial losses.
Arthur S.
Business acquisition agreements are often entered into subject and conditioned upon t he right of the Buyer to conduct a due diligence review during an agreed upon time frame ...with the obligation of the Buyer entity to finalize the deal very much contingent upon the findings of any such due diligence review. In short, the due diligence review provides the Buyer with a comfort level that the asset it is buying is what it has bargained for. A due diligence review involves a review, without limitation, of the Selling company's books and records, existing loan/debt obligations, an inventory review, a review of independent contractor/materialmen agreements, property leases and title and judgement research. Signing a purchase contract with an appropriate due diligence provision also enables the Buyer to "tie-up" asset for the agreed price during the due diligence period..
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
