Domestic Contracts

Adam Bernard Attorneys has a wealth of experience in negotiating, drafting, and reviewing domestic contracts. We provide comprehensive legal support to ensure that our clients’ contracts are clear, enforceable, and tailored to their specific needs.

Sales and Service Contracts:

Sales and service agreements can be challenging if drafted without clarity on terms and protections. Unclear agreements may lead to disputes over delivery, payment, or performance.

Without legal support, businesses risk financial losses or delays due to ambiguous contract terms. Poorly defined obligations can strain client relationships or hinder operational efficiency.

Adam Bernard Attorneys helps you draft clear and enforceable sales and service contracts. We ensure agreements protect client interests, define terms such as payment schedules and delivery obligations, and mitigate risks for seamless transactions.

Employment Agreements:

Employment contracts must be crafted in compliance with labor laws so that both employer and employee rights are protected. Ambiguous terms may lead to disputes over benefits, non-compete clauses, or confidentiality.

Without legal guidance, employers and employees face risks of contract breaches or disputes over job roles, compensation, or termination terms. Inadequate agreements can lead to legal challenges or loss of talent.

Our firm provides expert legal support in drafting employment agreements that comply with labor regulations. We ensure contracts define roles, benefits, and protections, safeguarding employer interests and fostering positive employee relations.

Leases and Real Estate Contracts:

You must be careful about the lease terms, property management, and compliance with zoning law when negotiating leases and real estate contracts.

Businesses risk entering unfavorable lease agreements or facing disputes over property rights, maintenance responsibilities, or lease terms if they proceed without sound legal help. Inconsistent contracts can impact operational stability or property value.

Adam Bernard Attorneys navigates clients through leasing complexities. We draft and negotiate clear lease agreements, address property management concerns, and ensure compliance with zoning regulations for secure and aligned real estate transactions.

Forming New Business Entities

Choosing the right business structure is crucial but can be daunting without proper guidance. Each entity type has unique legal considerations that affect liability, governance, and taxation.
