We help companies and entrepreneurs manage the contracts that serve as the backbone of their business. Lawyers are critical to making sure our clients stay protected and aren’t put into any relationships that may cause unnecessary risk for their business. We may help with contract drafting, negotiations, and contract review services. If you’re a small business owner and you haven’t had to deal with a contract yet, the day will come when you must do so, and you’ll want an experienced lawyer on your side when it does.

COMMON TYPES OF BUSINESS CONTRACTS. Not only do lawyers make the process of creating contracts and reviewing them easier, but we also offer unparalleled peace of mind when it comes to making business agreements. Here are some common types of contracts that you can count on us to help with:

SERVICE CONTRACTS. Service contracts cover agreements between a you and your customer. If you need help with a form contract to send to customers, we can help.

INVESTMENT CONTRACTS. Investment contracts govern the agreements between you and the people that give you money to run your business. These relationships are essential to the success of your business, so you need to be sure that the contract is mutually beneficial. We can help you create, audit, and even modify existing terms of a contract for the best outcome for all involved parties.

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS. Partnership agreements are the perfect way to enter business with a fellow entrepreneur. However, things can get messy if the roles and responsibilities of each member of the partnership are not set out ahead of time. Taking advantage of a lawyer's advice can help your business run more smoothly by making sure all this information is clearly stated in the contract.

We can also help with:

LLC agreements

Shareholder Agreements

Commercial Lease Agreements - If you need office space, you’re going to need to enter into a commercial lease agreement . Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, the terms of a commercial lease agreement are wildly different than the rules you may be familiar with from residential versions. We recommend that you get legal representation to help you with commercial lease agreements. The terms involved can get complicated and can end up turning out badly for you without the right guidance.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS. Confidentiality agreements are crucial to many business operations, especially when dealing with proprietary information. We make sure all the bases are covered on these agreements, so you don’t have to worry about your trade secrets getting out.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS. When you bring new employees on board with your company, it’s always a good idea to be sure the right expectations are set from the beginning. Creating an employment contract or employee handbook is a great way to set expectations and create terms and conditions surrounding employment.
