Family Law Attorneys Fight for Families

Many parents fail to realize that they are still co-parents even after a divorce. This means no matter what their feelings are toward each other, their goals should always be geared toward the best interests of their children. I am an attorney practicing family law, and I see parents every day who have forgotten that children should always come first. I hope that this blog will remind people that kids can be terribly hurt when their parents get divorced and that it is up to the adults in their lives to provide a secure foundation where they can feel safe and know that they are cared for. Children are often innocent victims of divorce. Learn how to protect your kids.

Legal Steps To Take When Starting A Family Restaurant Business

If you've been planning for several months to start a restaurant business, there are many things to consider. Aside of a working capital fund and planning how you're going to prepare your favorite dishes, making sure that everyone who's invested in the business is comfortable with upcoming roles and plans is important. From management duties to making financial decisions, it's best to everything sorted out before the launch of your company to avoid future conflict. Here are a few suggestions when it comes to starting a restaurant business and having all of the legalities in order.

Resolve Disputes Prior To Closing The Deal

Nothing about a business deal is set in stone until there is a legally binding agreement among the owners. If your business has an LLC or partnership agreement in effect, it's important that each contributor to the business is in agreement with what their personal investment and responsibilities are. A partnership agreement helps put important business aspects into perspective, including:

  • Allocation of profits and losses
  • Partner roles and responsibilities
  • Termination of business involvement if applicable 
  • Ownership profit percentages
  • Management duties and obligations

If there is any question regarding profits and distribution, try to sort it out before closing on a real estate transaction to avoid future confusion.

Sign A Contract

It's important to have everything in writing, especially if there are multiple owners involved. This helps to ensure that each party and contributing member of the business is treated fairly. Should an issue arise after a contract is signed, such as handling finances or coming to a fair agreement of a buyout, a mediation service may help resolve a family business conflict. Typically this is conducted within an attorney's office and a resolution is preferred over having to going to court.

Have An Outside Party In Charge Of Finances

Hiring a qualified business law attorney as well as a certified public accountant to handle all of your business finances, can help prevent possible family business disputes. Having an in-house financial advisor or accountant can help reduce the costs of outsourcing these services. This is only possible if all of the business owners agree to this type of financial management and business process.

Work With A Family Mediation Attorney

Should a financial or business issue arise before, during or after the launch of your restaurant business, a family mediation attorney may be able to help solve a crisis situation. He will abide by the rules and procedures you originally agreed to at the beginning of your business venture and propose a fresh solution that is amicable among you and the other partners.

A restaurant business is a great way to share your cooking expertise and business direction with family and close associates that you trust. Should a problem arise as the restaurant takes off, seeking help with a finance mediator and resolving family business disputes before they become a major problem is best.
