Top 3 Qualities to Look for in Your Attorney

Your attorney should not speak in legalese.

Finding an attorney who doesn't use complex legal jargon and is a “real person” can be difficult. You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and they should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.

Your attorney should be accessible.

You deserve a responsive legal team that communicates regularly and promptly returns your calls. Although legal matters can take time, you should feel confident in the progress of your case.

Your attorney should be realistic about costs and outcomes.

You want a favorable outcome as efficiently as possible. It is essential that your attorney set realistic expectations about the costs you should expect, concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

Chicago business lawyer, Kevin O'Flaherty, explains the differences between corporations and LLCs.

Top Situations In Which You Should Consult Your Business Attorney

A buy-sell agreement is a contract between the owners of a business that allows its owners to remove themselves from ownership of the company. It also lays out who may be permitted or required to buy their shares, how they will be valued, and how the purchases will be funded.

Buy-sell agreements can cover some or all of the following events:

Death of an owner;
Disability of an owner;
Voluntary termination of an owner’s ownership;
Involuntary termination of an owner’s ownership with or without cause;
Termination of an owner’s interest in the company if the owner files for bankruptcy;
Termination of an owner’s interest in the company if the owner files for divorce;
Termination of an owner’s employment with the company; and
Retirement of an owner.
‍

In this episode, we discuss buy-sell agreements for corporations and LLCs. We answer common questions and discuss agreements that cover death or disability of the owner as well as the limitation that can be found in these agreements.

In this episode, Moline business lawyer Kevin O'Flaherty, discusses how business value is determined for buy-sell agreements

Determining the Value of a Moline Business for Buy-Sell Agreementrs

A well drafted buy-sell agreement should contain all of the following components:

What events will trigger an optional or mandatory sale of an owner’s ownership interests to the company or to the other owners?
When a triggering event occurs, how will the ownership interest be valued?
What will the terms of the purchase be and where will the money for the purchase come from?

A buy-sell agreement enables business owners to plan how an owner and their business will separate due to an event such as the death or disability of an owner, a decision to terminate ownership through sale of stock, retirement, or the company’s decision to part ways with the owner with or without cause. For more information on how to use a buy-sell agreement if an owner is retiring, check out How to Use Buy-Sell Agreements to Plan for an Owner’s Retirement.

Minority Shareholders Rights in Moline Corporations and LLCs

In Moline, a minority interest in a Corporation or LLC is a shareholder of a corporation or a member of LLC who does not control the operations of the business.
