In Nevada, to establish a sports handicapping LLC, you'd generally follow steps like selecting a unique LLC name, appointing a registered agent, and filing Articles of Organization with the state. For the NAICS code, consider "711510 - Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers".... View More

In Nevada, businesses often use releases or waivers to protect themselves from potential future claims or lawsuits. It's not uncommon for a business to request a customer to sign a release of claims when processing a refund, especially if there's a potential for a dispute or claim. By... View More

n Nevada, if you are in the middle of a fixed-term lease (e.g., a 12-month lease), your landlord cannot increase the rent or any fees unless it's specifically stipulated in the lease agreement. However, once the lease term ends and if you move to a month-to-month tenancy or sign a new lease,... View More

In general, advertisements are considered invitations to make an offer, not binding contracts themselves. However, there are exceptions and legal principles to consider. In Nevada, if the ad includes the VIN number and all the car details, it might be seen as a specific offer rather than a mere... View More
If I pay them either $13.25 per hour or $15 per hour. Am I required to pay them overtime of $19 per Hour and $22 per hour. Over 40 hours. My company is based in Nevada. I only have 1 employee and myself.
answered on Jun 6, 2023
Generally yes. Federal law requires that hourly-paid employees be paid overtime, at a rate of one-and-one-half times their regular rate of pay, for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. If your business does less than $500,000 gross in business per year, however, you may be exempt from federal... View More
I have a restaurant and I will be serving alcohol soon. I understand that servers or anyone who will be handling the liquor (like bartenders) should be of legal age.

answered on Feb 7, 2022
Employees are either “at will” or they have a contract. At will employees can quit when they want and the company can fire or layoff an employee when it wants, so long as the termination isn’t due to discrimination, retaliation or another illegal reason. It sounds like you are an employee... View More

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry for your accident and injuries. At this point, you could reach out to attorneys in your area to discuss in further detail. Most attorneys who handle injury cases offer free initial consults. Good luck

Sometimes these contracts have a clause that determines the state in which an action may be brought for a breach. I would review your contract and see which state you would need to bring action in, then start reaching out to employment law attorneys in that state for a consultation and to discuss... View More

Good question. Usually, a business partner can't change your ownership percentage in a partnership or company without your permission or unless you have given the partner some sort of right to do so. There are tax implications associated with that change (especially if you are in a... View More

I think that the assignment of all IP rights forever has to do with assigning all the rights that you produce for the company while you are engaged in an assignment for them. It does not extend to IP rights that you generate during your lifetime after the engagement ended.
