Contracts & Strategic Relationships
We have years of experience and vast knowledge in the area of contract negotiation and preparation. We help our clients memorialize and enforce important relationships with their customers, employees, contractors, vendors and service providers with well-conceived and well-drafted contracts. We negotiate and draft documents that provide and assure the client clarity, certainty and predictability and that anticipate and deal with all of the client’s exposure to risks. In this way, most potential business controversies are quickly and inexpensively resolved by simply referring to the contract. By way of example, we craft agreements with key employees and independent contractors that protect the client’s property, customer relationships, and business secrets through employee-commitments that can be promptly enforced in court if needed. We advocate and seek strong indemnity and insurance provisions, to help protect our client from vicarious liability claims due to the other party’s negligence or intentional acts. |
We promote limiting the client’s exposure to credit-risk, through the use of enforceable, secured (collateralized) transactions and through personal guarantees. We prepare the right contract for the tasks at hand, customized and tailored to the circumstances and needs of the client and the specific relationship. Throughout the process, we advise and counsel the client about the pros and cons of accepting, negotiating or rejecting less favorable provisions sought by the other party, while, at the same time, we recommend, advocate and seek the inclusion of all of the provisions that are desired and necessary to protect the client’s best interests. Our client’s know with confidence that their important relationships and contracts are in expert hands. |
