Business Agreements
When business disputes arise, the underlying issues often relate to terms
or provisions contained in legal agreements or contracts.
One of the best
ways to avoid problems later is by ensuring any agreement you enter into is both fair and legal.
When you work with one of the skilled business agreements attorneys at E. Kalu Ekpu
law, you can be confident that your agreements
are designed to meet your needs while
protecting your legal rights in Federal Courts, as well as international tribunals if your business
will cross international borders.
Our experienced lawyers can help your business with a variety of legal agreements,
including business licensing agreements, partnership
and joint venture agreements, strategic alliance
agreements, financing agreements, non-disclosure agreements, confidentiality agreements,
non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, technology-related agreements, and more.
Using “boilerplate” or off-the-shelf agreements might save your business money
up-front. However, when those agreements aren’t tailored
to meet your business’
specific needs and aren’t drafted and reviewed by attorneys familiar with the specific laws and
regulations that govern
your business, you risk facing significant cost, hassle, and regulatory scrutiny later.
The specific types of agreements your business needs will largely
depend on your industry, the products, and services you offer, and how you
conduct business.
E. Kalu Ekpu law can help you with business licensing agreements, agreements that will
govern strategic business relationships such as partnership
and joint
ventures, contracts to cover the technologies you use and much more.
The agreements you enter into with the employees, independent contractors and
vendors are also important.
Non-disclosure agreements (NDA) and confidentiality agreements can protect your
non-public business information, helping you get and maintain
a competitive edge.
Similarly, having employees and independent contractors sign non-compete or
non-solicitation agreements can ensure you don’t lose that competitive
edge because of
an employee’s decision to leave your organization.
No attorney or law firm can guarantee that a contract is
ironclad and will never result in future litigation. However, when you are deliberate
about hiring
an experienced contract and business law attorney to represent your
interests, you stand a much better chance of avoiding future disputes and commercial
lawsuits.
The attorneys at E. Kalu Ekpu law understand how nuances or ambiguities in your
contracts and agreements can help – or hurt – you. We work closely with
business clients to help negotiate contracts designed to truly protect our
clients’ interests and rights. We can professionally draft new agreements
for your
business or review and advise on agreements you’re being asked to sign
by others.
