Contracts Law
Florida Contracts Lawyer
As a contracts lawyer, we address matters related to reviewing, drafting, negotiating, and enforcing legal agreements.
What is contracts law?
Contracts law is a vast area of practice as a contract lawyer may be asked to help prepare a contract, review a draft of a contract (perhaps a vendor or service contract, or a lease agreement) or review an already signed contract (like for an individual who signed a non compete), or even guide clients on their rights and remedies for a possible breach of contract case. For these reasons, it all starts with understanding case law and what works and what does not work. In most cases, we find that a simple, easy to read contract is the best solution as it clearly delineates the rights and duties of both parties. Legalese is just one way to overcomplicate matters, and it does not add any real value to the writing. However, what is necessary is clarity and an accounting of all possibilities so future rights are protected.

Contracts Law FAQs
Should contracts be in writing?
We are of the opinion that, yes, all contracts or agreements should be in writing. It allows parties to an agreement to understand the expectations, rights, and obligations. Further, in some cases, contracts must be in writing to be legally enforceable.
Why would I need a demand letter prepared by a lawyer?
A demand letter is a way to communicate one party’s expectations, especially related to contractual matters in dispute, to another party. When prepared by a lawyer, these letters can be respectful, but also have the necessary “teeth” to led to amicable resolution without the need for costly litigation.
What contracts should I have drafted to start my business?
There is no one size fits all as this really depends on the type of business you have. Some businesses may need independent contractor agreements, and others may need employee agreements. Some may need vendor or distributor contracts, some may not need either. Other examples may be nondisclosure or noncompetes. It all depends on your business needs, but we can help figure that out during either a consultation or strategy session.
