Overview The second part of the final project for this course is the creation of a memorandum. Legal situations arise frequently in everyday business practice, but the assessment of the key issues is not always clear. A working understanding of essential business law concepts is critical for the successful navigation of complex and diverse business environments. Successfully addressing real-world situations will sharpen your skills in spotting issues, identifying vulnerabilities that you may face as a member of the corporate world, and becoming more sensitive to legal dilemmas that commonly arise in business. For your two-part summative assessment, you will be preparing two professional business memorandums related to the application of business law in specific hypothetical scenarios. For Final Project Part II, you will prepare a five-page professional memorandum for your supervisor in a hypothetical U.S. corporation that is considering doing business overseas. Your findings and critical assessment of the cases will help shape the approach of corporate stakeholders to the legal matters raised, including each company's response to each situation. The project is divided into one milestone, which will be submitted before Final Project Part II to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. This milestone will be submitted in Module Seven. The final submission for Final Project Part II will be submitted in Module Ten. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Assess the impact of business law on organizational decision making for informing strategic legal decisions Analyze pertinent facts of business client cases by effectively employing foundational law principles Select key legislation and legal precedents that impact client cases for informing legal decisions Assess the impact of public perception on companies in legal situations for informing business practices Assess the legal and ethical implications of United States companies doing business abroad for informing business decisions that are compliant with applicable domestic laws Prompt For the second part of your summative assessment, you will assume the role of an employee at a fictional company and prepare an executive memo pertaining to the legal and ethical implications of a company doing business internationally. Scenario You are working for a major U.S. corporation that wants to expand its reach globally and has narrowed the search to either Mexico or Japan. Your supervisor has asked you to prepare a memo that analyzes potential compliance issues with respect to aspects of law and ethics that are specific to one of the two countries. You will choose to prepare your memo for either Mexico or Japan and address the critical elements below. This will help inform the final executive decision. Because you have some fluency with domestic laws, and given your background and history with the corporation, you have been asked to assess the pros and cons of the decision, and to provide your insights with respect to the ethical and legal implications of the expansion. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: What pertinent aspects of U.S. law should the company be aware of in its goal to do business internationally? Assess the legal implications of moving business abroad specific to your chosen country. What are the advantages and disadvantages? What are the ethical implications involved in this business decision? Explain how other domestic companies have managed to comply with the U.S. laws related to this business decision in the past. How did these companies address potential compliance issues? Milestones Milestone One: Outline of Memorandum In Module Seven, you will submit an outline of your memorandum highlighting the following concepts: What pertinent aspects of U.S. law should the company be aware of in its goal to do business internationally? Assess the legal implications of moving business abroad specific to your chosen country. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a move? What are the ethical implications involved in this business decision? Explain how other domestic companies have managed to comply with the U.S. laws related to this business decision in the past.

the articles on Changing Legal Structures: LLCs and C Corps, The Pros and Cons of LLCs, and How To Start An LLC In 7 Steps (2024 Guide) which discuss business entities. Malik, Nia, and Talia are planning to start a catering business in a metropolitan area with a population of approximately 480,000. The target market for the venture will include both the corporate market (employee events, client meetings, etc.) and the private market (weddings, family events, etc.). The business plan which they have developed has set start-up costs of $800,000. Malik will contribute 55% of the capital for the creation of the new entity, while Nia will contribute 30% and Talia adding 15%. The plan also projects that the company will operate at a loss for the first two years. In the third year, it is projected that the company will realize a profit of 15%, and 20% profit in year four. Malik is primarily an investor in this new business and does not have any experience in catering or the restaurant industries. However, his family is wealthy, and he is well connected to the metropolitan area. Thus, he would be an asset as being recognized as a leader of the organization. Nia has been highly successful as a marketing executive in the local entertainment sector. She is also considered to be a very effective social influencer in the area, as well as on social media. As a result, she will be working as the marketing and sales director of the catering business. Talia is a culinary expert and has been working as a chef at a local restaurant. She has also been operating a small catering business as a sole proprietor on a part-time basis, which is how the idea for the new business venture originated. Talia has worked in several large cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Rome. Since she is a chef, she does have experience of managing large kitchen staffs. However, she is relatively new to the current market area. Nia and Talia will work for the organization on a full-time basis. Malik will work as a consultant but will not take part in many of the operational tasks that are involved in running the business. Initially, all other staffing needs will be done with part-time employees. Based on some discussions Malik has had with his attorney, the group believes that they should form an LLC for the new business. However, they are open to other ideas. In your paper, Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using an LLC. Are there any other business forms that should be considered for the initial start-up? Discuss whether the LLC should be member-managed or manager-managed, addressing the advantages and disadvantages of each. Discuss how the profits and losses of the business should be shared. This would include addressing the following issues. How should the LLC be taxed? When addressing these concerns, also consider if Malik, Nia, and Talia should receive a salary? If so, how would the amount be determined? If not, how should they be compensated for their work? Explain why it would be important to have an operating agreement when the LLC is formed. Assume that in four years the company wants to expand into ten larger metropolitan areas. Explain if the company should remain an LLC or transition into a new form of business.
