Website Agreements

Anyone who has regularly used the internet has come across a Terms of Service Agreement, or a disclaimer of sorts. More often than not, the terms in these agreements are briefly skimmed, and then agreed upon, so it is important as a business to clearly state what is being agreed to. Having legal assistance to write these Terms of Service Agreements is essential to protecting the business. 

Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements

When it comes to certain topics or circumstances, confidentiality and privacy are of utmost importance. Whether this is with personal information, or potential business plans, it is essential to ensure that these agreements are properly worded and include all of the necessary information to make them legally binding. Be sure to seek legal advice when writing these agreements to fully protect yourself and the company.

Promissory Note

Promissory notes are legally binding, signed documents that declare a determined amount of money to be paid by one party to the other, by an agreed upon date, or upon demand. If not written within legal guidelines, these may fail to be binding, and the payee may not receive the funds promised. It is always advisable to have a legal representative write these agreements with both parties.

Employment Contracts

When hiring employees for any business, there are several factors that need to be considered, and should be in writing prior to the start of employment. Terms such as hours, benefits, pay, responsibilities, and more are all essential to have clearly defined and legally compliant in order to run a successful business.

Executive Contracts

Executive contracts serve as legal agreements where the company provides assurances that the executive’s best interests are in mind. It clearly states job expectations, responsibilities and ROI, so all parties involved are on the same page.

Non-Compete Agreements

Non-Compete Agreements or Clauses are legally-binding statements that restrict a party from entering into any similar work that would be a direct competition to the work being completed for the current company. 

Non-Solicitation Agreements

A Non-Solicitation Agreement is similar to a Non-Compete, however, instead of restricting work for competitors, it simply states that clients from one company cannot be solicited to the competing company. This typically applies to both when an individual currently works for both companies at the same time, as well as in the future, as the old job position should not benefit the new position by means of obtaining clients or confidential information.

Independent Contractor Agreements

Independent Contractor Agreements differ from typical employment contracts, as independent contractors might only be employed for a certain amount of time, and are paid differently than a full-time employee. To ensure the protection of both the company and the contractor, having a legal representative write these documents is advisable.

Sales Representative Agreements

Sales Representative Agreements also differ from typical employment contracts, as often sale rep positions entail base pay plus commissions, as well as considering other terms that factor in.

Asset Purchase Agreements

An Asset Purchase Agreement, or an APA, is a legally-binding agreement that sets terms and conditions related to the sale or purchase of a company’s assets. This can be any portion, or all of the assets a business has.

Licensing Agreements

A Licensing Agreement typically occurs between the owner of a license, brand, or patent, and an individual or company wanting to utilize it. The agreement lays out specific terms and stipulations by which the user must abide.
