Contract Law Questions

Yes, especially for significant agreements. The cost of legal review is minimal compared to the potential cost of signing a problematic contract. Key issues I look for include unfavorable limitation of liability clauses, auto-renewal traps, indemnification overreach, and IP ownership ambiguity.

Internet templates are risky. They're often outdated, may not comply with Florida law, and don't account for your specific situation. A customized contract protects your specific interests and addresses the unique risks of your business relationships.

At minimum: clear scope of work, payment terms, term and termination rights, limitation of liability, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality provisions, dispute resolution mechanism, and governing law. The specifics depend on your industry and relationship type.

Many "take it or leave it" contracts still have negotiable terms—you just need to know which ones. Even large enterprise vendors often accept reasonable modifications to indemnification, liability caps, and data handling provisions. I can identify which terms are worth pushing on.
