PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

A small business owner needs assistance in developing new contracts for her company.

Handshake agreements and verbal contracts may build trust, but will not be helpful if you end up being sued for breach of contract. In most cases, a well-drafted contract will prevent the need for a Florida breach of contract attorney in the future. An effective contract outlines all parties’ rights and obligations and fosters smooth business transactions.

If you are a small business owner, you want to work with an attorney who takes the time to understand the nature of your company and your industry in general, in order to develop contracts that address any unique needs or requirements. An experienced Florida business contract lawyer can help you establish clear expectations, avoid costly delays and misunderstandings, and preserve mutually beneficial relationships.

Contracts Govern Your Important Business Relationships

The Florida Small Business Center provides cost-effective services regarding all types of commercial contracts, including those related to the sale of goods and services, buying and selling of businesses, real estate transfers, franchising, and employment relationships. Examples include:

Employment contracts, including employment offers and employee manuals
Shareholder agreements
Partnership agreements
Independent contractor/consulting agreements
Disclosure documents and franchise agreements
Distribution agreements/supply agreements
Intellectual property agreements, such as trademark, copyright, licensing agreements
Master service agreements and statements of work

It’s also a good idea to contact a business lawyer before signing any contract so that you are aware of your rights, obligations, risks and liabilities. We will-

Help you understand the details of any business agreement and advise you on the best course of action before you sign.
Work hard to identify potential risks that are involved in a business deal and to make sure those risks are minimized.
