Contracts

I am an exceptional contract attorney. My business experience enables me to foresee and forestall potential sources of conflict through negotiation and drafting of contractual agreements. If you are beginning negotiation for sale or distribution of a product or service, I will help you understand how the clauses in a proposed contract affect you and your business and I will help you draft and negotiate:

  • Distribution rights
  • Software licensing contracts
  • Consulting agreements and work-for-hire, including non-disclosure agreements
  • Licensing of inventions
  • Author's agreements for books, training materials, CBT, videotapes, etc.

My services also include drafting, review, and negotiation of contracts and agreements such as:

  • Formation of partnerships, C- and S-corporations, and limited liability companies
  • Retail and commercial leases
  • Employment agreements, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements
  • Employee separation agreements
  • Resale, licensing, and distribution agreements for software, documentation, training materials and videos
  • Standard business terms and conditions
  • Software development and consulting agreements
  • Porting, system integration, and development contracts.

If you are a consultant, or are hiring a consultant, a clear statement of agreement is important for avoiding costly disputes. I can help negotiate agreements that identify design parameters and performance standards, and that clearly establish ownership rights.
