My friend would like for the business to be his and in his name if possible even though he's only done research and that's it. He want to give me power of attorney to carry his plans out. Is this possible? If not what can we do?

I don't think it would be ethically permissible for an attorney to answer that specific question for you without establishing an attorney-client relationship. Find a local attorney who does business transactional and trademark work. This statement is obviously self-serving, but also... View More
