WHY IT MATTERS

Every Commercial Relationship Hinges on Contract Wording

Most contract disputes don't come from bad faith — they come from ambiguous terms nobody noticed until it was too late.

Our business contract lawyers draft, negotiate, and audit key enterprise agreements to eliminate the vague language that leads to disputes down the line. Whether you're bringing on a new vendor, structuring founder equity, or protecting confidential information, we write contracts that hold up when they're actually tested — not just when everyone's getting along.

But even a well-drafted contract can be tested. See what happens when a contract breaks down and how we help resolve it.

WHAT WE DRAFT & REVIEW

Contracts We Handle

From day-to-day vendor agreements to the documents that structure who owns what in your company.

MSAs & Statements of Work

Master Service Agreements and SOWs that set clear payment terms, deliverables, and liability limits for ongoing vendor or client relationships.

Founder & Shareholder Agreements

Vesting schedules, buy-sell provisions, and equity terms that prevent the disputes that break up co-founder relationships.

Vendor & Distribution Agreements

Supplier, distribution, and commercial agreements with real termination rights and liability caps — not just boilerplate.

NDAs & IP Assignment Agreements

Confidentiality agreements and IP assignment deeds scoped to actually protect what you're trying to protect.

Employment & Contractor Agreements

Offer letters, independent contractor agreements, and non-compete/non-solicit terms that hold up in your state.

Licensing Agreements

Software, brand, and content licensing agreements that clearly define scope of use, royalties, and termination.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Contract Review Process

Straightforward, attorney-led, and built to move at the speed your deal needs.

1

Intake & Risk Assessment

Send us the contract or tell us what you need drafted. We flag the clauses that create the most risk for your specific situation.

2

Drafting, Redlines & Negotiation

We draft or redline the agreement in plain terms you can actually evaluate, then negotiate directly with the other side if needed.

3

Execution & Ongoing Support

Once signed, we keep a record on file and remain available if a dispute or amendment comes up later.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions About Business Contracts?

Get clear answers to the questions we hear most often.

How much does it cost to have a lawyer review a contract?

Cost depends on the contract's length and complexity — a short vendor agreement takes far less time than a multi-party joint venture agreement. We provide a clear scope and fee estimate before starting any review, so you know the cost upfront rather than discovering it on an invoice.

What's the difference between an MSA and a standard contract?

A Master Service Agreement (MSA) sets the general terms governing an ongoing relationship — payment terms, liability, confidentiality — while individual Statements of Work (SOWs) define the specific projects performed under it. A standard one-off contract combines both into a single document, which works fine for a single engagement but becomes unwieldy for a recurring vendor or client relationship.

Can I use a template contract instead of hiring an attorney?

A generic template can work for very low-stakes situations, but templates are written for the average case, not your specific deal, industry, or counterparty. The clauses that matter most — indemnification, limitation of liability, termination rights — are exactly where templates tend to fall short, and those are the clauses that determine what happens when something goes wrong.

How long does contract review typically take?

A straightforward vendor or NDA review is often completed within a few business days. More complex agreements — multi-party contracts, equity documents, or anything requiring negotiation with the other side — take longer, since redlines typically go back and forth more than once before both parties are satisfied.

What should I look for before signing a vendor contract?

Pay close attention to termination rights (can you exit if the vendor underperforms?), liability caps (what happens if their mistake costs you money?), auto-renewal terms, and data/confidentiality obligations. These are the clauses that cause the most disputes later, and they're often buried in boilerplate language that's easy to skim past.

Do I need a lawyer to draft an NDA?

A poorly drafted NDA can be effectively unenforceable — too broad a definition of confidential information, no carve-outs for independently developed work, or a duration that doesn't match your actual needs. An attorney-drafted NDA is tailored to what you're actually trying to protect, which matters if you ever need to enforce it.

What happens if the other party breaches the contract?

Your options depend heavily on what the contract itself says — many of our contracts include specific remedies, notice-and-cure periods, and dispute resolution mechanisms precisely so you're not left guessing. If a dispute arises, we can help you send a demand letter, negotiate a resolution, or pursue litigation if necessary.
