Every successful business depends on strong agreements. Contracts are the framework that define relationships with partners, employees, investors, vendors, and customers. A poorly written contract can lead to disputes, lost opportunities, and expensive litigation. At Schenk Law Firm, we focus on creating clear, enforceable agreements and negotiating favorable terms so your business can operate with confidence.
Custom Contract Drafting
Strategic partnership agreements, MSAs, service contracts, licensing agreements, employment agreements, purchase and sale contracts, nondisclosure agreements, and more.
Negotiation Strategy
We represent your interests in negotiations, balancing assertiveness with pragmatism to achieve favorable terms without jeopardizing the relationship.
Risk Allocation & Liability Protection
Clauses that address indemnification, limitations of liability, insurance, and dispute resolution to minimize risk.
Capital & Equity Agreements
Founder agreements, stock purchase agreements, convertible note and SAFE agreements, investor term sheets, and equity incentive plans.
Contract Review & Compliance
Analysis of proposed agreements to ensure clarity, compliance with California law, and alignment with your business goals.
How do I know if a contract protects my interests?
We review every provision to ensure your rights are clearly defined, obligations are manageable, and risks are addressed.
What’s the best way to handle negotiations without damaging the relationship?
We approach negotiations with a balance of firmness and diplomacy, keeping long-term business goals in mind.
Can you draft agreements that are enforceable in multiple states or internationally?
While we are licensed to practice in California, we regularly draft agreements for businesses operating in multi-state and cross-border contexts. We also have relationships with attorneys across the U.S. and internationally to address multi-jurisdiction compliance issues.
How do I avoid boilerplate that doesn’t really protect me?
We tailor each contract to your unique situation, replacing generic templates with specific, enforceable provisions.
What if a dispute arises later?
We include clear dispute resolution mechanisms, such as mediation, arbitration, or venue clauses, to help prevent costly litigation.
