Business Contract Law Firm & Attorneys

For clear and safe business contracts, it’s important to have trustworthy legal advice. Contracts fall into the categories of business or transactional law, which covers all types of business transactions. A business contract lawyer plays a critical role in protecting their clients’ interests in areas such as intellectual property rights, as well as their organization overall. Stanton IP Law Firm is an experienced Tampa contract attorney and firm that is well-versed in all facets of contracts and transactional law. While our headquarters is in Tampa, FL, we also service the Boston, Washington DC, and New York City areas across the East Coast.

The Importance of Business Contract Law

Contracts are a fundamental aspect of conducting business. A contract may be needed for a wide variety of agreements, such as the following:

  • Licensing agreements
  • Employment contracts
  • Severance agreements
  • Commercial real estate leases
  • Service contracts
  • Joint venture agreements
  • Founder agreements
  • Vendor contracts
  • Stock purchase & sales agreements
  • Manufacturing, supply chain, distribution, and OEM agreements

These are examples of the types of contracts that are created and signed every day. Each contract is unique and must precisely address the needs and liabilities of each party. A business contract attorney, like those at Stanton IP Law Firm, is needed to ensure that contracts are ironclad and precise.

Reasons to Work With a Contract Attorney

Contracts can either support or hinder business transactions. A contract attorney can prevent problems and misunderstandings and help you deal with any disputes that arise. 

It is essential to understand all the terms in a contract. The slightest change in wording can make a huge difference. Without a clearly written contract, it may be impossible for a business to protect its rights. For example, a contract needs to specify consequences for breach of contract if one party doesn’t fulfill its obligations. 

An incomplete or poorly written contract increases the risk of lawsuits. A business must clearly outline the limitations of its liabilities in relation to customers, investors, or prospective partners. An experienced business contract lawyer ensures that clients’ interests and rights are protected. A contract attorney can help businesses avoid unnecessary litigation as well as provide assistance when litigation is unavoidable.
