proprietorship for informing current business implications as a
sole proprietor and potential business implications of a
partnership. NOT MASTERED!!!!!
As I mentioned previously, please ensure that you include clear
definitions for "Partnership", "Corporation", and "Limited
Liability Company (LLC)". Once defined, then you'll need to
make a recommendation for which of the business organizations
would be the best option for Amy; being sure to also explain
why it would be a good choice. Lastly, be sure that you also
discuss partnership as a business entity versus sole
partnership. What are the business implications of having a
partnership versus a sole proprietorship? Again, you've done a
nice job with your information on sole proprietorship, but still
need to discuss how that differs from having a partnership.
Refer to the following Unit Resource: Business Organizations

3) Discusses the basic employment laws—including OSHA,
FLSA, and privacy laws—that would impact Amy’s business
and potential employees. NOT MASTERED!!!!!
To master this criterion, be sure that you also address privacy
laws as they relate to employees. What privacy laws should
Amy be aware of if she decides to hire her own employees?

purpose. NOT MASTERED!!!!!
Please review your project to ensure that your information is

clearly written with no major grammatical errors. You have
addressed different topics in different places throughout the

of the project. This makes it very difficult to determine if
you've addressed all the requirements. Of the ten pages you
have submitted, there is a lot of the same information just in
different parts of the report. You also have numerous
grammatical errors throughout that impact the clarity of your
information.
5) Lists sources where needed using citation methods with no
major errors. NOT MASTERED!!!!!
Holding off review for now.

· Apply relevant aspects of law to current business situations
Scenario
AW Photography
You are a new attorney, and your client, Amy Watson, is
looking for legal recommendations to support her in
understanding her rights and responsibilities as a photographer
and as a business owner.
She would like to use her photographs on her website to
showcase her work, but she feels nervous about potentially
violating copyright and intellectual property laws. She also
wants to make sure she does not violate employee rights if there
is an employee who does not want their photograph online.
When Amy comes into your office, she brings a copy of her
contract with Firm X that was drafted by another attorney she
had been working with previously. Below is an excerpt from
Amy’s contract with Firm X.
COPYRIGHT AGREEMENT
The photographs produced by AW Photography are protected by
federal copyright law (all rights reserved). If the client
purchased an image DVD, the DVD purchase entitles the client
to use the photographs on social media and websites as long as
the images remain unaltered and textual credit is explicitly
given to AW Photography. AW Photography maintains the right
to its photographs, the company website, and social medi a sites
to promote its business.
REPRODUCTION
The photographs taken are individual property of AW
Photography. Photographs may not be reproduced in any form,

or sold without prior explicit written permission from AW
Photography.
Future Considerations
Currently, Amy operates her business as a sole proprietorship.
She is the owner and has no employees. However, due to the
growth of her business, her vision for the future includes
potentially hiring someone to help manage day-to-day
operations including scheduling, website maintenance, keeping
of financial information, and oversight of potential future
employees. In addition, she would like to hire two or three
photographers so that she can book more photography sessions.
Before she moves forward with her growth strategy, she is
wondering if her new manager should actually be a business
partner, and if her business should operate as a partnership
instead of a sole proprietorship.
Amy would like your legal support with business applications as
she considers moving her company forward. She travels widely
for her business and has recognized a market demand for
reasonably priced portrait and event photography. She is
typically booked over a year in advance. She believes that there
is a good business opportunity to either partner with other
photography businesses or open other studios and hire studio
managers to run those.
Directions
· Legal Contracts: Amy asked that you explain the elements of
the legal contract.
· Describe basic elements that should be included in the
expectations.
· Explain the purpose of the contract for informing involved
parties about legal issues and expectations. Include the
following in your response:
· Does the current contract allow public use of the photographs?
For example, could Amy post the photographs on her website
for promotional purposes? Explain elements of the contract and

describe their legal implications.
· Intellectual Property and Copyright: Amy would like you to
explain what she, as a commercial photographer, needs to know
about intellectual property and copyright law.
· Discuss the impacts and applications of intellectual property
and copyright in business situations, differentiating between
commercial and personal use.

Firm X. For example, may she use them for commercial and
personal use, such as on social media?
· Describe how Firm X may legally use the photographs that
And may employees use them for personal use, such as on social
media?
· Business Applications: Amy’s photography business has been
growing, and she is considering making changes. She has
operated under a sole proprietorship but now wants to organize
as another entity and hire additional employees. Amy has asked
for your suggestions about an appropriate business entity to
consider. Include the following to support her in making this
decision:
· Define the following business entities: partnership,
corporation, and limited liability company. Based on this, make
a suggestion for the best type of entity for Amy, detailing why
this would be a good choice. Discuss partnership as a business
entity versus sole proprietorship for informing current business
implications of a partnership.
· Discuss the basic employment laws—including OSHA, FLSA,
and privacy laws—that Amy should be aware of as she
considers hiring her own employees.
· Describe how privacy laws impact Amy and her employees’
use of photographs taken for business clients.
