CONTRACTS AND DISPUTES
Contract Drafting and Review
Once a business is formed and its internal structure is completed, the business must begin relating to the rest of the world. It is very beneficial to establish a set of basic contracts which can be easily replicated and modified. Having a contract between your company and the companies with whom you do business puts all the terms of your relationship in writing and can eliminate many of the disputes that commonly arise between companies and between a company and its employees. Further, when you enter into a written contract with another party, you can agree in advance what the consequences will be for violating that agreement, including the payment of attorney’s fees.
In addition to offering services to establish your business entity, Sweat & Associates, PLLC offers legal services to draft a standard set of contracts, each tailored to fit your particular commercial needs. We also offer services to review contracts drafted by other companies and submitted to you for approval.
To determine which contracts may be most beneficial for your business, we will need to discuss with you what your products or services will be, what your most common commercial transactions will involve, what types of business entities you will be dealing with, and how your business will be staffed. The following are a list of some of the most common types of contracts businesses encounter.

Sales and Distribution Contracts
