Rebecca S.
I absolutely love helping my clients buy their first home, sell their starters, upgrade to their next big adventure, or transition to their next phase of life. The confidence my clients have going into a transaction and through the whole process is one of the most rewarding aspects of practicing this type of law. My very first class in law school was property law, and let me tell you, this was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I remember vividly cracking open that big red book and staring at the pages not having the faintest idea what I was actually reading. Despite those initial scary moments, I grew to love property law. My obsession with real estate law was solidified when I was working in Virginia at a law firm outside DC. I ran the settlement (escrow) department and learned the ins and outs of transactions and the unique needs of the parties. My husband and I bought our first home in Virginia in 2012 and despite being an attorney, there was so much we didn’t know, especially when it came to our HOA and our mortgage. Our real estate agent was a wonderful resource for finding our home and negotiating some of the key terms, but there was something missing in the process. I’ve spent the last 10 years helping those who were in the same situation we were in better understand the process.

Note Payable
Virginia
I loaned money to a 5013c organization, I want a lawyer to look over the contract, worried about them defaulting on it
I am worried about a 5013c organization defaulting on a promissary note, they do not seem to have their act together, want to have a lawyer look over the promissary note and get advice on what happens if they default on it
Donya G.
Sure. I take it they have not yet signed as yet? You can draft the agreement with some protections to ensure payment; however, you need to keep in mind that payment will always be contingent on whether they have money to pay or not. I am a contracts attorney and if you you would like my services, you can contact me on the contracts counsel website, or post your job on the website and attorneys will respond to your job. All the best Donya Gordon
Contracts
Stock Subscription Agreement
Georgia
Is a stock subscription agreement legally binding if it was not signed by both parties?
I recently entered into a stock subscription agreement with a company, where I agreed to purchase a certain number of shares in exchange for a specific amount of money. However, I just realized that the agreement was only signed by me and not by the company. I am now concerned about the legality and enforceability of the agreement, and I would like to know if it is still binding even though it was not signed by both parties.
Jerome L.
This is an important concern, and the enforceability of a stock subscription agreement without both parties' signatures depends on several factors, including the intent of the parties, performance under the agreement, and state law governing the contract. 1. Signatures and Enforceability Generally, for a contract to be legally binding, there must be mutual assent—that is, both parties must agree to the terms. While a signature is the most common way to show assent, a written signature by both parties is not always required to create a binding contract. If you signed the agreement and the company later accepted payment, issued shares, or otherwise began performing under the terms of the agreement, that conduct may be enough to demonstrate acceptance and create a binding agreement—even without the company’s signature. 2. Evidence of Mutual Assent Key things to consider: Did the company accept your payment or issue any form of acknowledgment? Have you received confirmation of share allocation, receipts, or account statements? Was there any written or verbal communication confirming the company’s agreement to the terms? These facts may establish that a contractual relationship exists, even if the formal document was not fully executed. 3. Risk Without Signature If the company has not yet taken any action—and there is no other evidence of acceptance—you may be in a more uncertain position. Without both parties’ signatures or performance, a court may view the agreement as incomplete or non-binding. Next Steps: Review all communication and transaction records for evidence of the company’s intent to be bound. If no performance has occurred, you may want to seek confirmation or a countersignature before proceeding further. If needed, a legal review of the agreement and context can help determine whether the contract is enforceable and what remedies may be available if there’s a dispute. I would be happy to assist with reviewing your agreement and advising you on how best to move forward.

Repayment Agreement
California
Can a repayment agreement be enforced if it was made verbally and not in writing?
I recently loaned a significant amount of money to a friend in need, and we agreed on a repayment plan where they would pay me back in monthly installments. However, we did not put this agreement in writing, and it was purely a verbal agreement. Now, my friend is refusing to make the payments, and I'm wondering if I have any legal recourse to enforce the repayment agreement even though it was not formalized in writing.
Dolan W.
I'm so sorry about your situation! My name is Dolan. The answer is yes. Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the plaintiff. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) Parties can also seek '"specific performance" of the agreement under section 3388 of the civil code. This applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach. My recommendation? Consider sending a demand letter. I have a template I drafted that you can use here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 Best of luck to you! So you can send this in any way want. It can be text, email, certified mail, or in person. I usually send letters via email because it’s faster and cheaper.

SaaS Agreement
Florida
SaaS agreement and data ownership?
I am the founder of a small startup that is developing a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution. We are in the process of negotiating a SaaS agreement with a potential customer and I am looking to understand what rights the customer will have to the data that they provide to us. We want to make sure that we are adequately protecting our intellectual property while also providing the customer with the ability to use the data they provide.
Diane D.
To be able to answer your question, I would need to see the SaaS agreement you have with your potential customer. I could then let you know your rights, and what you need to say in the Agreement to be fully protected and retain your data.
