Contracts
Contracts are at the heart of doing business. Most, if not all transactions your business is involved in should be in writing, from hiring employees to buying inventory. But if the contract is not written properly, you are leaving yourself open to liability and loss. A partner could claim he should receive more profits, a party to a contract that did not work out could refuse to refund your money, or a stock holder could sue you for alleged improper actions taken as a business officer.
Our attorneys draft iron-clad contracts that protect your interests. Some of the contracts we draft include:
- Purchase and sales agreements
- Real estate sales and commercial leases
- Employment contracts
- Non-compete agreements
- Confidentiality agreements
- Franchise and distributor contracts
- Joint venture agreements
- Supply contracts
- Partnership agreements
We can create any contract that you need in the course of the operation of your business, and we will write it to minimize your liability and protect your rights.
Highly recommended!
