Massachusetts Business Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Arbitration Clauses + Agreements in Massachusetts

Massachusetts arbitration clauses are widely enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) — but unconscionability, class-action waiver issues, and the 2022 EFAA (sexual-harassment carve-out) limit some clauses.

Breach of Contract in Massachusetts

Massachusetts breach-of-contract claims require valid contract + breach + damages — but most cases turn on what damages can be proved, not whether breach occurred.

Business Divorce in Massachusetts

Massachusetts business divorces — partner / shareholder splits — usually involve buyout valuation, fiduciary breach claims, and potentially judicial dissolution. Operating agreement controls when written; courts fill gaps when not.

Class Actions in Massachusetts

Massachusetts class actions follow Federal Rule 23 (or state equivalent) — class certification is the critical battle, with numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy required.

Commercial Collections in Massachusetts

Massachusetts businesses pursuing commercial debts navigate state collection laws, statutes of limitations, mechanic's liens, judgment enforcement, and FDCPA exemptions for original creditors.

Commercial Leases in Massachusetts

Massachusetts commercial leases differ fundamentally from residential — far less tenant protection, more negotiation, and major financial commitments. Common types: gross, net (NNN), modified gross, percentage.

Consumer Protection Claims in Massachusetts

Massachusetts consumer protection laws — state UDAP statutes + federal FTC Act + Magnuson-Moss + similar — provide treble damages + attorney's fees for deceptive business practices.

Forming a Corporation in Massachusetts

Massachusetts corporations require articles of incorporation + bylaws + initial board meetings + ongoing compliance — federal C-corp / S-corp tax election decides taxation.

How to Form an LLC in Massachusetts

Massachusetts LLC formation costs $500. Annual obligation: $500 annual report.

Franchise Law in Massachusetts

Massachusetts franchise law combines the federal FTC Franchise Rule with state-specific franchise registration / disclosure / relationship laws.

Mergers and Acquisitions in Massachusetts

Massachusetts M&A transactions can be structured as asset sales, stock sales, or mergers — each with different tax, liability, and legal consequences for both buyer and seller.

Non-Disclosure Agreements in Massachusetts
