Your business is off to a great start. As you grow, your business agreements will become more important, and more complex. We can help take you to the next step.
Drafting and negotiating sales and supply agreements
There are many different kinds of agreements to help you get the products you need to grow your business. Have you protected yourself if the product you order is substandard? To what extent have you limited your liability for the products that you sell? If you are using another company to manufacture your product, have you protected your private label? We can help make sure that you have fair terms for both selling and buying products.
Drafting and negotiating license and distribution agreements
Perhaps you have been given rights to sell a company’s product. Is the arrangement exclusive or do other competitors have the same rights? Or perhaps you want to give another company the rights to sell your products. Have you protected your brand? We can help you negotiate with your important business partners to get terms that can help you grow.
Negotiating service agreements
You may have to bring in a cleaning company every night to make sure your business space is clean. Or perhaps you need uniforms for your employees, or a vending machine company for your snack area. Or perhaps you need software companies to provide customized services for your company. These kinds of agreements often have many unforeseen pitfalls. We can help you make sure that you get the services you need.
Negotiating transportation agreements
How will you get your products to your customers? Perhaps you want to use a courier company? Or perhaps you are big enough that you want to use motor carriers. In either case, this is a tricky area because you want to make sure that the people who deliver your products are not considered your employees. We can help make sure you are protected.
Waiver and liability release agreements
You now have a variety of customers coming in to use your services. To what extent have you protected yourself in case something goes wrong? Or perhaps you are willing to make amends for something that was your fault. Have you made sure that once you pay some compensation to the customer, the customer cannot come back for more? We can help make sure that you limit your liability up front to the extent that you can.
