Drafting and Enforcing Business Contracts That Protect What You've Built

business contracts

Common business contracts include employment agreements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), service agreements, and sales contracts, each serving a specific purpose in business operations. Sometimes, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in a legally binding agreement, which can lead to significant legal and financial consequences.

Our business contract lawyers help clients prepare a range of complex agreements

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to meet its obligations under a valid agreement, causing financial or operational harm to the other party. Our business contract lawyers help businesses enforce contracts and resolve disputes through negotiation, litigation, or arbitration.

Partnership agreements outline the roles, responsibilities, and rights of each partner in a business venture. A well-drafted agreement helps prevent disputes and provides clear guidance for decision-making, profit-sharing, and exit strategies. Our business contract lawyers help clients structure and negotiate partnership agreements tailored to their needs.

Operating agreements outline the ownership structure, management, and financial rights of members in an LLC. These agreements are essential for preventing disputes and ensuring smooth operations. Our business contract lawyers help clients establish their businesses with clear, enforceable operating agreements that protect all parties from the start.

Non-compete agreements restrict former employees or business partners from competing with a company for a set time and within a defined area. They help protect trade secrets, client relationships, and competitive advantage. Our business contract lawyers draft enforceable non-compete agreements that safeguard your business interests from unfair competition.

Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) protect sensitive business information by preventing parties from sharing confidential data without authorization. They are essential when discussing proprietary ideas, trade secrets, or strategic plans. Our business contract lawyers draft strong, enforceable NDAs to help businesses safeguard their confidential information.

Arbitration agreements require parties to resolve disputes through private arbitration rather than public court proceedings. They offer a faster, more cost-effective alternative to litigation while maintaining confidentiality. Our business contract lawyers draft arbitration agreements that protect your interests and provide clear, enforceable terms for resolving future disputes.
