Business Transactions

Clarify Agreements to Protect Your Company

A well-crafted agreement is the first and most critical step in a successful business transaction. A solid contract not only specifies the business terms – the product or service, the timeframe for delivery, the price and payment – but also accounts for what happens if one or both parties fail to deliver.


I can draft and review agreements of all kinds that protect your company:


  • Service agreements with your clients
  • Agreements to buy or sell a business
  • Loan agreements and promissory notes
  • Non-disclosure, non-competition, and non-solicitation agreements
  • Commercial leases
  • License agreements for use of your intellectual property


These kinds of agreements provide peace of mind by defining the responsibilities and obligations of each party.
