Protect your business with legally sound contracts

75% of small business owners are concerned that they may be the target of a frivolous lawsuit and small businesses with revenue of a million dollars spend an average of $20,000 a year dealing with lawsuits.

One of the best ways to protect your business is to make sure all the contracts you sign with customers, vendors and other third parties are drafted correctly, follow the law and will be enforceable should you end up in front of a judge.

To best way to make sure your agreements are in order is to work with a contract lawyer that has experience with the most common types of documents small businesses need.

Get legal advice prior to signing agreements

Nobody likes reading contracts as they tend to contain language that is confusing and hard to interpret. That said, it’s important for the success of your business that you understand what you’re signing.

  • Are the terms fair?
  • Are your rights protected?
  • Do you have adequate coverage for your intellectual property?
  • Would key terms of the deal be enforceable in court?

Whether you drafted an agreement or you’ve been presented with a document you need to sign, an experienced lawyer can quickly assess the situation and provide advice on how to proceed.

Get legal support for enforcing an agreement

Once a contract has been breached, the parties may try to settle the situation on their own. When that does not work, lawyers may have to get involved. Here are several scenarios in which you may want the advice and representation of a reputable contract lawyer.

  • A customer has failed to pay fees due under your service agreement
  • An employee has breached the terms of your employment agreement
  • A landlord claims you have breached your lease agreement
  • A relationship with a vendor has gone sour and there is a financial dispute

If you find yourself in a sticky situation that involves a contract, the best move is to contact a business lawyer to at least get advice about your rights and to determine the next best steps.
