Earnouts are one of the most litigated provisions in M&A agreements.

Why? Vague definitions. Unclear calculations. Missing dispute resolution terms.

Most earnout disputes aren't about bad faith, they're about bad drafting. Our latest blog breaks down the most common earnout pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Because ambiguity isn't a compromise. It's a risk.

Washington State just passed a near-total ban on non-compete agreements, effective June 30, 2027.

What this means: Existing non-competes become void. Employers can't enforce them, threaten to enforce them, or even claim workers are bound by them. Violations carry a $5,000 penalty per worker, plus damages and attorneys' fees.

Employers must notify current and former workers by October 1, 2027 that their non-competes are unenforceable, and failure to notify creates liability. Non-solicitation agreements are still permitted, but they must be narrow and can't function as backdoor non-competes.

If your business operates in Washington or has workers there, now's the time to audit your agreements and update your approach. Learn more about these changes: https://foundrylawgroup.com/washingtons-impending-non-compete-ban-what-employers-need-to-know/

Our team can help you navigate this shift and implement compliant alternatives that still protect your business.

Picture these two scenarios:

Company A reviews their vendor contracts annually and catches a problematic auto-renewal clause before it kicks in.

Company B discovers the clause after they're locked into another year at increased rates.

Both had the same contract. Only one planned ahead. Proactive legal support isn't about emergencies — it's about avoiding them.

Washington's new “millionaires tax" is estimated to affect 20,000 to 30,000 households. SB 6346 imposes a 9.9% tax on Washington taxable income above $1 million, bringing big changes to the state if it passes.

Madhu Singh spoke with GeekWire about what she's seeing with startups in the state, and how these changes could impact the way founders think about compensation:

The right legal setup isn't a matter of luck. It's a decision. ☘️

A decision to protect what you're building before problems emerge. A decision to get contracts in writing. A decision to establish clear governance.

The businesses that scale successfully aren't lucky. They're prepared.

Solid operating agreements. Clean IP ownership. Vendor contracts that protect their interests. Legal foundations that support growth instead of creating obstacles.

Getting it right from the start is easier and cheaper than fixing it later. At Foundry Law Group, we help businesses build strong legal foundations - with fixed-fee pricing, practical advice, and support that evolves as you grow.

Your success shouldn't depend on luck. It should depend on planning.
