How would you feel if you signed a contract with a vendor, only to find out that the vendor could change its pricing periodically throughout the year? How would you feel if the vendor could suspend its service if your payment is a day late?

Contracts are everywhere. We use them to run our businesses, receive services and products, and even drive employee performance. Contracts contain small details that can make a big difference.

Commercial Contracts

I prepare, negotiate, and manage agreements essential to my clients' businesses. My goal is to provide expert advice on business contracts and solutions that enhance results and reduce costs. I handle the details so my clients can focus on their business strategies.

In addition to routine purchase and sale contracts, I focus on professional services contracts, software licensing, non-competition agreements, and partnership agreements.

Protection Contracts

Businesses often use non-compete agreements to prevent their employees from leaving the company and using what they have learned to compete with the employer. Businesses whose products depend on methodologies and technologies may be particularly vulnerable without these contracts. These contracts protect trade secrets or restrict former employees from operating the same type of business or working within the same industry, specific territory, or finite time. We can craft your non-compete agreement to protect your business from post-employment liabilities.

A non-solicitation agreement aims to protect the company's clients or employees. Employers are concerned about losing their clients or employees to competitors when an employee leaves. We can draft your non-solicitation agreement to ensure that your former employees, trained in the specifics of your work, do not strengthen your competitors at your expense.

Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), also known as confidentiality agreements, are contracts between two or more parties that protect specific details about a business. In these agreements, parties agree not to disclose certain information to third parties. We can design these agreements to define the scope of parties who need access to your business's information.

Employment Contracts

An employment contract is one of the most important contracts that a company might need. A well-written employment contract that outlines each party's obligations may prove useful to the risk management of your business. The non-compete and non-disclosure agreements are related agreements that are naturally related to employment. An employment contract might include information about compensation, schedules, duration, and responsibilities. We help businesses create employment contracts that suit their needs and include the protections they may need.

Independent Contractor Contracts

Even though your business may prefer to hire contractors rather than employees, there may still be a need for a written contract with them. If a dispute arises about the nature of the workplace relationship, a contract could clarify this. A worker may contest their status as an employee or independent contractor, and the responsibilities a business may have toward an employee may differ from those a business may have toward an independent contractor.

Improved Terms 

Legal services provided aim to negotiate the best terms for clients. Each contract is unique, and the goal is to secure favorable terms that protect client interests while fostering positive business relationships. The following clause is an example of how liability can be limited and risk managed on behalf of clients. 

Here is an example clause:

"The Company is not responsible for any damages resulting from your use of the service or actions of other users. This includes lost profits, data loss, or reputation damage."
