BUSINESS LAW
In today's fast-paced business world, clear and concise agreements are essential to provide frameworks for business relationships. Those that establish transparent terms and offer legal protection help establish trust, generate better communication, and set businesses up for success. Below are the types of contracts and agreements we prepare.
MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENTS
Legal contract between two parties that outlines the terms and conditions for work to be performed and sets out the general terms that will govern the provision of services over an extended period of time. The MSA covers issues such as scope of work, confidentiality obligations, payment, and other relevant terms. This type of agreement is generally used when establishing a long-term relationship with ongoing services between a provider and client.
SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENTS
Legal contract between a software developer or vendor and the end user of the software. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which the software can be used. They typically include a license agreement, restrictions, ownership of intellectual property, liability for damages, and level of support such as technical assistance and software updates.
MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY AGREEMENTS
Legal contract between manufacturer and supplier that ensures the smooth and efficient operation of supply chains. These agreements outline the terms of their commercial relationship and cover a wide range of products from raw materials to finished goods. They typically include provisions related to product quality and quantity, delivery schedules, payment terms, and warranties.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS
Legal contract between a developer and property owner or municipality that outlines the terms and conditions of a real estate development.

This agreement typically covers scope of work, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, and intellectual property rights.
CHANNEL PARTNER AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS
Both types of agreements are used in industries where companies rely on third-party partners to help them reach new markets and customers.
