Contracts & Agreements

A generic template rarely reflects the unique needs of your business.

SBLS drafts customized agreements that address your specific relationship, business model, and goals.

Services include:

• Service agreements
• Client agreements
• Independent contractor agreements
• Consulting agreements
• Vendor agreements
• Partnership agreements
• Referral agreements
• Commission agreements
• Licensing agreements
• Non-disclosure agreements
• Business-to-business agreements
• Custom contracts

Each agreement is tailored to address the terms that matter most to your business, including scope of work, payment terms, ownership rights, confidentiality, liability, termination, and other business-specific considerations.

Before signing an agreement, it is important to understand the obligations you are accepting and how the terms affect your business.

SBLS reviews contracts to help businesses identify issues involving:

• Payment obligations
• Scope of services
• Ownership and intellectual property rights
• Confidentiality obligations
• Liability provisions
• Indemnification
• Termination rights
• Renewal provisions
• Restrictions and limitations
• Dispute resolution provisions

When changes are needed, SBLS can assist with negotiations to help create terms that better align with your business interests.

As businesses grow, relationships become more complex.

SBLS helps businesses create agreements that support growth and protect important relationships, including:

• Strategic partnership agreements
• Collaboration agreements
• Referral relationships
• Vendor relationships
• Contractor relationships
• Revenue-sharing arrangements
• Licensing arrangements

Strong business relationships begin with clear expectations.

Your business may have dozens of agreements governing relationships with customers, vendors, contractors, partners, and service providers. Over time, those contracts can become outdated, inconsistent, or misaligned with how your business operates today.

SBLS conducts contract portfolio reviews to help businesses understand the legal obligations already in place and identify opportunities to strengthen their agreements before issues arise.

A contract audit may include reviewing:

• Customer and client agreements
• Vendor and supplier agreements
• Independent contractor agreements
• Partnership and collaboration agreements
• Licensing agreements
• Non-disclosure agreements
• Service agreements
• Website and platform terms
• Other business-critical contracts

The review may identify:

• Outdated or missing contract provisions
• Inconsistent terms across agreements
• Unclear ownership or intellectual property rights
• Confidentiality gaps
• Liability and indemnification concerns
• Termination and renewal issues
• Agreements that no longer reflect current business practices
• Opportunities to improve contract processes and protections

A contract audit can be valuable when your business is preparing for growth, bringing on new partners, expanding operations, seeking investment, or preparing for a potential sale.

Following the review, SBLS can help update existing agreements, create missing contracts, and implement processes to better manage your business relationships moving forward.
