Why Contracts Matter

A contract is more than a formality. It is the document that defines what each party owes, what happens when something goes wrong, and how disputes are resolved. Whether you are hiring an employee, leasing commercial space, partnering with another business, or engaging a vendor, the contract you sign determines your rights, obligations, and exposure to risk.

Signing a contract without legal review is one of the most common and expensive mistakes in business. Buried within boilerplate language are often one-sided indemnification clauses, automatic renewal provisions, non-compete restrictions, intellectual property assignments, and liability waivers that can cost you far more than the price of a legal review. By the time you realize the problem, you are already bound.

Our contract services cover both sides: drafting new contracts tailored to your needs and reviewing existing contracts before you sign. Every engagement is flat-fee, so you know the cost before we begin. We serve individuals, freelancers, small businesses, and growing companies throughout South Florida in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.

Non-Compete Agreement Review

Florida enforces non-compete agreements under Fla. Stat. § 542.335, but they must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area. We review non-compete agreements to assess enforceability, negotiate more favorable terms, and advise you on your options if you are already bound by one that may be overly restrictive.

Contract Services FAQ

Contract reviews start at $250 and are quoted as a flat fee based on the length and complexity of the document. A standard service agreement or lease review typically falls between $250 and $500. Complex multi-party agreements or contracts with extensive exhibits may cost more. You receive the exact quote before we begin, with no hourly billing and no surprises.
Most contract reviews are completed within 2 to 3 business days. If you have an urgent deadline, we offer expedited review with 24-hour turnaround. We understand that contract deadlines are often time-sensitive and prioritize accordingly. Rush fees may apply for same-day turnaround.
Yes. After completing our review, we can directly negotiate with the other party or their attorney on your behalf, or we can prepare redlined revisions and talking points for you to handle the negotiation yourself. Many clients prefer to have their attorney communicate changes directly, as it signals seriousness and often accelerates resolution. Negotiation assistance is typically included in the flat fee or quoted as a separate flat-fee engagement.
Yes, Florida enforces non-compete agreements under Fla. Stat. § 542.335, which is one of the more employer-friendly non-compete statutes in the country. To be enforceable, the agreement must protect a legitimate business interest (trade secrets, customer relationships, specialized training), be reasonable in duration (typically 6 months to 2 years), and be reasonable in geographic scope. We review non-competes to assess enforceability and identify grounds for challenge if the restrictions are overly broad.
Online templates are generic and do not account for your specific business, industry, or Florida law requirements. A template may appear to save money upfront, but a poorly drafted contract is far more expensive to litigate than a properly drafted one is to create. Common template failures include unenforceable provisions, missing essential terms, incorrect governing law, and boilerplate that contradicts your actual arrangement. Our custom-drafted contracts start at $250 and are tailored to your exact needs.
