Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: business association agreement

You mean a joint venture agreement, and - unless you want to inadvertendly end up in a general partnership with the chef (hint: you don't want to), then you need to seek professional assistance to have a custom drafted agreement appropriate for your circumstances drafted. I handle these sorts of matter, and, on the flip side, I also hear from and work with those who chose to skimp on legal work on the front end, and are paying for it dearly now that things have gone wrong.
