What's at Stake

A weak contract is a problem waiting to happen

The cheapest time to fix a contract is before anyone signs it. The most expensive time is in court, arguing over a term that was never clear in the first place.

A good contract does more than memorialize a deal—it allocates risk, sets expectations, and gives you leverage if the other side doesn't deliver.

  • A vague scope leads to “that’s not what we agreed” disputes.
  • No payment or late-fee terms—so you wait months to get paid.
  • A signed template quietly waives your most important rights.
  • No termination or liability clauses when you need to walk away.

Template vs. Counsel

Why a downloaded template isn't enough

A template doesn't know your deal, your industry, or your risk. It can give you false confidence—right up until a dispute reveals the gap. A contract built for your transaction is what actually protects you.

  • Generic, not your deal
  • May not fit Florida law
  • Hidden gaps and waivers
  • No one to call when it breaks
Attorney-drafted

Trusted on the details

Every term, thought through

Clients return to us for contracts precisely because we think through each term and its implications—then explain them clearly. Because we also litigate, we draft knowing how these agreements hold up when tested.

Business Contracts

The Process

From handshake to signed

01

Understand the deal

We learn the business goal and the risks so the contract reflects what you actually agreed to.

02

Draft or redline

We draft from scratch or mark up the other side’s paper—flagging every term that works against you.

03

Negotiate

We help you negotiate the key terms—and explain the trade-offs in plain English.

04

Finalize & sign

We get to a clean, signable document you understand and can rely on later.

Transparent Pricing

Transparent hourly billing

Contract drafting, review, and negotiation are billed hourly at a transparent rate we discuss up front. We scope the work and give you an estimate before we start—so there are no surprises.

You work directly with Shaun Keough on every contract.

And If It Goes Wrong

We're ready to enforce it

If the other side doesn't honor the deal, we don't hand you off. We handle breach of contract and business disputes too—so the contract we draft is written to win if it ever has to.

FAQ

Business contract questions

Should I have a lawyer draft my contract or use a template?

Templates are a starting point, not protection. They’re generic, often out of date, and rarely fit your deal or Florida law. A lawyer-drafted contract allocates the real risks of your transaction and is written to hold up if the relationship goes sideways.

Can you just review a contract someone sent me?

Yes. Contract review and redlining is one of our most common services. We flag the terms that expose you—indemnity, liability caps, payment, termination, IP ownership—and propose changes. This work is billed hourly at a transparent rate, with an estimate up front.

What clauses matter most in a business contract?

The ones people skip until there’s a problem: scope, payment and late-payment terms, termination, limitation of liability and indemnification, dispute resolution and attorney’s fees, confidentiality, and IP ownership. We make sure these protect you, not just the other side.

How much does it cost to draft a contract?

Contract drafting, review, and negotiation are billed hourly at a transparent rate. We scope the work and give you an estimate up front, so cost stays predictable. We’ll walk through the details during your free consultation.

Do you draft contracts that hold up if we end up in court?

Yes—and that’s the advantage of using a firm that also litigates. We draft with enforcement in mind: clear terms, the right governing law and venue, and fee-shifting provisions that make the contract worth enforcing.

Is an oral or email agreement enforceable in Florida?

Often, yes—but it’s far harder to prove, and some contracts must be in writing under Florida’s statute of frauds. Putting the deal in a clear written contract avoids expensive disputes about what was actually agreed.
