WE DRAFT, NEGOTIATE, AND REVIEW THE FULL RANGE OF BUSINESS CONTRACTS

Contracts provide clarity, form a layer of protection, and set expectations for commercial relationships. A written contract should be the foundation of every successful business. Below are some of the contracts that we specialize in negotiating for our clients:

  • Foundational Agreements (Partnership Agreement/Operating Agreement): Foundational agreements such as partnership and operating agreements lay the structural groundwork for a business. Along with other things, these agreements typically define roles, responsibilities, profit-sharing, and operational procedures among owners.
  • Contracts With Other Businesses (Vendors, Suppliers, etc): Contracts with other businesses—including vendors and suppliers—are designed to formalize the terms of engagement between companies. These agreements ensure both parties understand their obligations and responsibilities
  • Employment Agreements: A contract between an employee and an employer sets the foundation for the relationship. The agreement could address a wide variety of different terms—from salary and benefits to job duties conditions for termination. Whether you are an employer or employee, our firm can help you navigate employment contract negotiations.
