• Construction Contracts
  Many construction subcontracts have clauses that provide for payment to the subcontractor only after the prime contractor has been paid for the work by the project owner. Some construction contracts have provisions which prohibit payments for any changes in the project which are not reduced to a written change order. If you were to enter into such a contract without knowing the implications of these types of provisions, you could be in for a nasty shock when you eventually make a demand for payment.

Employment Law

• Employment Contract
  You should carefully consider any decision to reduce the terms of your employees’ employment to writing. While you may believe that it is a good idea to have a written agreement so there is no dispute as to the pay and other benefits being provided to the employee, the existence of a written employment contract severely limits your ability to terminate an employee’s employment should there be a need to do so. You should consult with an attorney to determine whether you really need employment contracts for your employees as the need for an employment agreement and the terms that should be in the agreement vary significantly for each type of business. It is a good idea, however, in the case of key employees, to have non-disclosure, trade secret and non-competition agreements.

We also prepare documents to protect your company and your personal assets such as employment agreements, non-compete agreements, partnership agreements, trademark applications and other documents you will need to protect your company.

Property Law

• Construction Litigation
  When you enter into a business contract such as a construction contract, a remodeling contract, a manufacturing contract or a personal services contract, you should keep in mind that businesses, contractual requirements and contractual relationships are all unique. A standard "form" contract may not adequately protect you or your business.
