General contracts

Every business will invariably require a set of contracts in which to govern their interactions with their customers and suppliers. These contracts range from sales contracts, service agreements, preferred vendor agreements and supply agreements, reseller agreements and exclusive distribution agreements, licensing agreements, franchise agreements, non-disclosure agreements, management agreements between related groups of companies, joint venture agreements, profit sharing agreements, finder’s fee agreements, manufacturing agreements, consulting agreements, independent contractors agreements, and the list goes on.

These contracts establish the terms and conditions of transactions, protect rights, and minimize risks for all parties involved. The most common type of agreement that we often assist with is a master services agreement which is a custom contract that details the services of our client corporation in respect of their customers and outlines their fees and obligations as well as disclaims and limits liability.  Regardless of type of contract, we will address a myriad of terms and provisions central to contract law, including pricing and payment, term and termination, representations & warranties, indemnifications, limitations on liability, confidentiality, insurance, ownership and licensing rights, assignability, and dispute resolution procedures.

Lawyers play a crucial role in drafting commercial contracts, ensuring that agreements accurately reflect the intentions and interests of the parties involved while minimizing legal risks.
