  • What Is An 83(b) Election And When Shouldn't I Make It? [Part 2 - With New Graphic!]

    Young Lawyers Division (YL)

    Originally posted at AyrLaw.com . In Part 1 of this two-part post I discussed what an 83(b) election is and walked through one particular situation in which someone should make that election (hint: if the company is currently valued at or close to nothing). In this installment, I'll go through an example in which it doesn't make good financial sense to make that 83(b) election. In a world where many founders, entrepreneurs, and contractors working for equity are told to automatically... MORE

  • What Is An 83(b) Election and When Do I Make It? [Part 1 - With Graphic!]

    Young Lawyers Division (YL)

    Originally posted at AyrLaw.com . What’s an 83(b) election, and when is it a good thing to do? Great question, and one every entrepreneur, founder, contractor, or anyone else trading work for equity should know the answer to. In this two-part post, I’ll first explain what the 83(b) election is, then I’ll walk through a situation where making the election makes good sense, and in the second installment I’ll walk through a situation in which making the election wouldn’t make...

  • Why Incorporate In Delaware?

    Young Lawyers Division (YL)

    Originally posted at AyrLaw.com . One of the most common questions I’ve heard from people thinking about incorporating their business is, “Should I incorporate in Delaware?

So the question is, what’s the advantage of incorporating in Delaware, and is that a reason for you to do it? While there are myriad potential advantages... MORE

  • Proposed Bill 374

    Young Lawyers Division (YL)

    New blog entry on my website: http://helenpartlow.com Proposed Bill No. 374 was referred to the Committee on Public Health in Connecticut in January 2013 by sponsors Senator Harp and Representative Walker. This was most likely a reaction to the devastating murders that occurred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT last December 2012. The aftermath of Sandy Hook left people to question current gun control and mental health laws. This proposed bill is "an act requiring... MORE

  • Everything Online Is Forever: LoC to Archive All Tweets Ever

    Young Lawyers Division (YL)

    Originally posted at AyrLaw.com . I’m a little slow on the uptake on this one, but on January 4 on the official Library of Congress blog (yes, of course there’s an official Library of Congress blog), they posted an update regarding their ongoing joint effort with Twitter to archive and make searchable every tweet ever. In their post, the LoC announce that they’ve successfully transferred (or will by the end of the month) the originally agreed upon archive of tweets from 2006 to 2010... MORE
