Contracts and Transactions
Getting
in the way of "getting to ‘yes’" is probably the number
one reason why business owners can’t stand lawyers. At GC, we pride
ourselves on being as savvy to the business angles as we are to the legal
ones.
Our job is not to bring you problems, but to bring you solutions. We won’t tell you why you can’t do a deal; we’ll tell you what you’ll have to do to get the deal done.
Besides the usual run-of-the-mill standard contracts, GC has additional
expertise in handling specialized contracts such as trade secrets and software
licensing, sales and distribution contracts, non-disclosure agreements, purchase
and sale agreements and lease options. GC can not only create any contract
your business may need, but it can also analyze contracts proposed by your
business partners and negotiate all the terms and conditions.
Case in focus: Company was either sued or had deals terminate over disputes as to what was promised to Customers by salespeople. GC revised Company’s standard contracts to remove this variable as admissible evidence for a dispute, resulting in zero future lawsuits or lost deals since. |
GC’s job is to look for the incidentals that may escape the business owner’s attention, while keeping the goal of the contract firmly in mind. Who assumes the risk of shipping? How are disputes handled? What prevents the other side from backing out of the deal? What constitutes adequate performance? These and many more are the questions GC asks when performing contract review or when drafting a new agreement. The end result of this detail-oriented approach is still getting to yes, but with a better deal for GC’s clients.
