Please let me know if this is a service you can provide and whether you require any further information at this stage. Kind regards, Russ Dolby

I am seeking legal advice regarding a dispute between directors which is preventing the company from operating properly, most urgently in relation to opening a new company bank account with all directors authorised. Company background Three directors One director holds 75% of the shares Two directors (myself included) collectively hold 25% No shareholders’ agreement is in place Primary issue – company banking The company’s existing bank account has been closed by the bank under clause 13.2 of its terms. We have been informed that correspondence was sent to the majority shareholder only. Due to a complete breakdown in communication, the majority shareholder is refusing to engage or cooperate, which means we are currently unable to open a replacement company bank account with all directors properly authorised. This is now preventing the company from receiving income, managing funds, and operating lawfully. Related concerns Jointly owned HMO property (licensed for 6 rooms) Ownership mirrors shareholding (75% / 25%) All directors are personal guarantors on the mortgage Rental income records appear to show only 4 tenants No transparency regarding full rental income or confirmation that mortgage payments are being maintained Our concerns Exposure as personal guarantors Risk to credit ratings Inability to access or control company funds Possible breach of directors’ fiduciary duties Lack of minority protection in the absence of a shareholders’ agreement Advice requested We would welcome your advice on: Our rights and remedies as minority shareholders Steps available to address director obstruction Legal mechanisms to enable the opening of a new company bank account Whether formal correspondence should be sent, and if so, the appropriate form and tone

I am looking for an attorney who is an expert in legal matters surrounding film funding, for commercial exhibition and distribution. I am inspired by director Sam Raimi and his team's method of sourcing investors for 'Evil Dead' (1981), by first crafting the legal contract with an attorney before approaching investors. The investors were promised a percentage of the revenue generated. I am yet unclear what the sources of generation of revenue for my project can be (ie. TV, galleries and museums, cinema theatres, video on demand?). What sets my work apart, is that I have already produced and finalised the audio track (soundtrack) of the project in the entirety, and 15 minutes of the actual film is already produced, the length of the work will be in the 40-45 minutes range. I am looking to raise 4400-4500 USD. Here is information that I was able to uncover about the preproduction and funding of 'Evil Dead' (1981), through an AI response generation platform: "before Sam Raimi (along with producer Rob Tapert and star Bruce Campbell) went out to raise money for The Evil Dead (1981), they legally structured the way they would take investments by having an attorney prepare a formal investment document. Here’s what that involved: The Legal Document They Prepared Raimi and his collaborators consulted a Detroit lawyer (Phil Gillis, a friend of Tapert’s family) to get legal advice on raising funds. Based on that advice, they formed a limited partnership — a legal entity — which became Renaissance Pictures. The attorney helped them draft a limited-partnership offering document (often called a limited partnership agreement or legal offering prospectus in that context). This document was the legal contract they would show to potential investors when soliciting funds. What the Document Contained The offering document essentially laid out the key terms of the investment opportunity: Structure of the partnership: It defined the limited partnership — Renaissance Pictures — as the legal vehicle for the project. Investment terms: It explained that the filmmakers were selling shares in the movie; they offered up to fifteen shares at $10,000 each. Escrow conditions: All investment money was to go into an escrow account that could not be accessed by the filmmakers until a minimum number of shares — nine, or $90,000 — had been sold. This was the amount they estimated they needed to begin shooting. Rights, risks, and responsibilities: It spelled out what investors owned, what risks they were taking, and the rights and duties of the partners and the investors. Return projections: Raimi and his team promised investors they could double their investment in two years — though that was essentially a projection/bluff to help attract financing. Investor communications: The plan included sending out bi-weekly newsletters on production progress and giving each investor two tickets to the world premiere. Purpose of the Document The main goal of this legal document was to: Make the offer to investors legally credible — having a formal limited partnership and a written offering made the project look legitimate rather than an informal “friends chasing a dream.” Comply with legal requirements for selling investments — even in a small independent film context, the sale of shares had to be structured to protect both the filmmakers and the investors. Set clear terms for who owned what and what investors could expect — including how and when funds could be used and what rights investors received in return. The finished legal offering document was then presented to friends, family, and local professionals (doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc.) as they attempted to raise the funds needed for production." What I practically need from you as an attorney - in the entertainment industry - is what source of revenue I can promise to my investor, in what way, and how to divide or sell, and promise the work to the investor. Ultimately creating the legal document for presentation to the investor. Thank you, looking forward to hearing from you!
11 days ago12 proposalsRemoteLegal Translation to Spanish & German
I have a collection of legal documents—more than 50 pages in total—that must be translated from English into both Spanish and German. Accuracy is critical: clauses, terms of art, headings, and citations all need to read as if they were originally drafted in the target language while preserving the intent of the source text. Because these are legal materials, I’m looking for translators who are either legally trained or have a strong track record handling contracts, agreements, or compliance papers. Familiarity with consistent formatting (section numbering, exhibits, footnotes) will be essential so that the translated files can be filed or presented without extra layout work on my end. Deliverables • Two fully-proofed translations—one in Spanish, one in German—mirroring the structure and pagination of the English originals. • Editable files (Word or equivalent) plus a clean PDF for each language. • A brief glossary of any specialised terms you standardised during translation. Please let me know your estimated turnaround time for the full set and highlight relevant legal translation experience.

In particular, I am looking for assistance with: Reviewing my current CFA agreement, and the evidence supporting my wish to terminate it, including advice on any potential involvement of the Legal Ombudsman if appropriate. Ongoing legal support with my claim, whether advisory-only initially or full representation if required.
