Contract review and drafting for Indiana businesses.
A large share of business disputes trace back to a contract that was vague, one-sided, or never written down at all. A customer agreement with no payment terms, a vendor contract that shifts the risk onto your company, or a handshake deal each side remembers differently can cost far more to litigate than it would have cost to put in writing. Anne drafts and reviews contracts with that in mind, drawing on her experience handling the disputes that follow when an agreement breaks down.
How Anne helps with your contracts.
Anne drafts the agreements a business relies on day to day, including customer contracts, vendor and supplier terms, subcontracts, and non-compete and confidentiality agreements. When someone hands you a contract to sign, she reviews it and explains in plain terms what the important provisions mean for your company. If a term works against you, she can propose changes and negotiate them, and she will tell you candidly which provisions are worth pushing back on.
When to have a contract reviewed.
The least expensive time to fix a contract is before you sign it. A review makes sense before you take on meaningful exposure, such as a large customer agreement, a commercial lease, a loan, or anything with a personal guarantee. It also makes sense if your company still uses a template it downloaded years ago, or if a dispute is brewing and you want to know where you stand before you respond.
If you have an agreement to review or a contract you need drafted, contact Anne to talk through what your business needs.
