- Q. I own an s corporation it’s a construction company and me and my two brothers are equal owners and myself
- A: You very likely need to get into Court (by filing a Complaint) and maybe get an injunction to stabilize operations and provide a full accounting. Business/partnership disputes are governed by the business' documents and usually, state law or the Uniform Partnership Act; it depends on how the company is structured and operated.
- Q. Someone gave me the name to my business. If we separate is there anything he can do to take the name of my llc?
- A: Know the difference between the legal name of the business and the trade name, if there is a difference. As an example, Coke could be the trade name for the Coco-Cola Company, Inc. (legal name). You might want to register the trade name with the state's Secretary of State's Office, assuming there is one.
- Q. Is it common practice for NH builders to enter a contract with the client on a residential build?
- A: Good morning. We deal with this all the time and I strongly encourage you to hire an attorney well-versed in building contracts to help guide you or to handle the transaction. NH builders are not regulated but even in places where they are (like in Massachusetts), there can be serious problems if the contract is not done correctly. We are often hired to litigate after the fact and that costs more and is a major hassle for the aggrieved party. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as Benjamin Franklin once said.
