Contracting

Your relationship with your customers is the lifeblood of your company. While a handshake and a warm smile are important in building trust during the contracting process, well drafted legal documents are necessary to make sure your business is protected (just in case not everyone agrees on what that handshake meant . . . ) Watch to learn more about our Contracting package.

Employment

Hiring employees is one of the most critical activities of your start-up or emerging business. Several key documents can help make sure your business is protected when it comes to employees, including a confidentiality agreement, independent contractor agreement, and an employment agreement. Because all companies with employees - no matter their size or industry - need these basic legal documents, Stock Legal offers an Employment Package for a fixed fee. Watch to learn more about our Employment Package.

Confidentiality Agreements

Companies like yours often find themselves in a position where they have to share information that is confidential to the company in order to do business—to engage with clients, to vet potential employees, or to investigate new business ventures, just to name a few. Having sound confidentiality agreements in place can be essential to protecting your ideas; strengthening relationships with customers, partners, and employees; and helping your business grow. That’s why Stock Legal offers a fixed fee for confidentiality agreements. Watch to learn more about our Confidentiality Agreement package.

Multi-Member Limited Liability Company and Incentive Agreements

If you’re starting a company with multiple owners, or members—whether those owners are individuals or other companies—you’re probably considering forming multi-member limited liability company (MMLLC). An MMLLC is an effective way to protect the personal assets of the members, which makes it a popular choice for start-ups and new small businesses. That’s why Stock Legal offers a fixed-fee package that includes the basic tools you need to form a MMLLC. Watch to learn more about our Multi-Member Limited Liability Company and Incentive package.

Missouri Single Member Limited Liability Company

If you’re starting a company with only one owner, then forming a single-member limited liability company (SMLLC) may be the best way to go. But while having just one member simplifies some things from a legal perspective, you still want to make sure you have a all the key documents necessary to establish a solid legal foundation for your SMLLC, no matter what product or service you are offering. Stock Legal can help you make sure you get your business off on the right foot. Watch to learn more about our Missouri Single Member Limited Liability Company package.

Protecting Your Agricultural Legacy: The Power of an LLC for Inherited Family Farms

Stock Legal highlights the essential need for formal legal planning when a family farm is inherited by multiple heirs. The critical challenge arises when heirs hold the property as tenants in common, leading to three main points of instability: Liability Exposure, Management Gridlock and a Difficult Exit Strategy. The key benefits of using an LLC include: Asset and Liability Protection, which shields both the farm's assets from an heir's personal debts and the heirs' personal assets from farm-related liabilities; Clear Management and Governance, established through a mandatory Operating Agreement that defines decision-making, profit distribution, and formal buy-sell provisions; and Simplified Estate Transfer, as LLC membership interests are easier to transfer than fractional real estate ownership.
