Our San Jose Business Attorneys Are Here to Prepare Any Business or Commercial Contract You May Need for Your New Business

Get It In Writing!

You’ve heard it all your life – “Get It in Writing!” Now that you have started a new business or purchased and existing business, it is absolutely critical to the ongoing stability and health of your organization that your agreements with employees, consultants, vendors, suppliers, and any party with whom you transact any business of any kind be in writing!

Small Business Contracts Lawyers in San Jose

People frequently complain that our legal system allows for too many lawsuits. In reality, many if not a majority of civil commercial disputes could have been avoided entirely or ended promptly had the parties clearly stated their intentions and obligations in a well crafted contract.

At the Law Offices of Jon G. Brooks, we take a proactive approach with our business clients and assist them in thinking through their varied commercial and business relationships. We help them mitigate the risk of doing business in California by suggesting the appropriate type of written contract that should be used in a given situation, and we apply a creative approach to every business situation.

Drafting and Negotiating Industry Specific Contracts for All Types of Businesses:

Protecting Technology Companies

We have extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating all manner of business contracts. Most small businesses will have particular, industry-specific contract requirements. For example, in San Jose and Silicon Valley, where our practice is located, nearly any outside consulting or independent contractor agreement should include detailed provisions for the assignment of any inventions created during the contractor’s engagement. Likewise, before entering into any negotiation, most business principals are wise to have a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) in place prior to disclosing confidential business information.

We are just as comfortable creating complex joint development agreements, manufacturing agreements, master services contracts, and technology licensing agreements. These are merely a handful of the common types of business agreements, and commercial contracts we are routinely called upon as our client’s business attorneys to create or adapt for our them.

Protecting Employers

While it may not be what one might ordinarily think of as a business contract, per se, any employer should have a detailed and comprehensive Employee Manual that makes clear for every individual in the organization the firm’s policies on such issues as gender or sexual harassment. Making your expectations clear to your employees is crucial both to protect your workers and to protect the organization in the event of a lawsuit. We routinely prepare Employee Manuals, Employment Agreements, and Independent Contractor Agreements.

Protecting Building Contractors

As noted above, every industry will have specific requirements when it comes to the contracts that a business should have in place to be successful and to mitigate risk. Building contractors and home improvement contractors in California have detailed requirements imposed upon their contracts with homeowners. We are familiar with all of the contract requirements and notices to homeowners mandated by California law, and we can prepare template contracts for various job types for our building contractor clients.
