Contracts and Amendments – Frequently Asked Questions

Contract drafting is the process of creating a legally binding agreement between parties. Our experienced attorneys will draft contracts that protect your interests, clearly define terms and conditions, and ensure enforceability.

You may need to amend a contract when business circumstances change, when parties want to modify terms, add or remove conditions, update pricing, extend deadlines, or address situations not originally covered. We can help you properly amend contracts to ensure changes are legally valid.

We draft various types of contracts including employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, service agreements, sales contracts, vendor agreements, partnership agreements, confidentiality agreements (NDAs), lease agreements, and many others. Tell us what you need and we'll create it.

The timeline depends on the complexity of the contract. Simple contracts may be completed in a few days, while complex agreements can take 1-2 weeks. We'll provide you with a realistic timeline based on your specific needs and urgency.

Yes! We offer contract review services to identify potential issues, unclear terms, liability risks, and areas where your interests may not be adequately protected. Our attorneys will provide recommendations for improvements.

You'll need to provide details about the parties involved, the nature of the agreement, specific terms and conditions you want included, payment structures, timelines, obligations of each party, and any special requirements. The more context you provide, the better we can protect your interests.

Costs vary based on the complexity and type of contract. We offer flat fees for standard contracts and hourly rates for more complex agreements. We'll discuss pricing and payment options during your consultation to find an arrangement that works for you.

While some verbal agreements can be legally binding, they're much harder to enforce and prove in court. Written contracts provide clear documentation of terms, protect all parties, and make enforcement much more straightforward. We strongly recommend having all significant agreements in writing.

Online templates may not address your specific situation, may include unfavorable terms, or may not comply with your state's laws. Our attorneys create contracts tailored to your needs and jurisdiction, ensuring terms are enforceable and protect your interests.

When a contract is breached, you may have several remedies including seeking damages, requiring specific performance, or terminating the contract. Our attorneys can review your contract terms, assess the breach, and guide you on the best legal recourse for your situation.

Yes, Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. has attorneys licensed in multiple states. We can draft and amend contracts that comply with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. During your consultation, we'll discuss which state laws apply to your contract.

Drafting creates a new contract from scratch, while amending modifies an existing contract through an amendment document that becomes part of the original agreement. Both processes require legal expertise to ensure the documents are enforceable and protect your interests.

We maintain strict attorney-client confidentiality. Any information you share with us for contract drafting or review is protected by attorney-client privilege. We use secure document handling procedures and will not share your information with third parties without your consent.

Yes, we can represent you in negotiations and help ensure contract terms are fair and favorable. Our attorneys can communicate with the other party or their counsel to negotiate better terms and protect your interests throughout the process.

Contract termination depends on the terms of your agreement. Some contracts have specific cancellation clauses, while others may require cause or provide for penalties. We can review your contract to determine termination rights and help you properly terminate agreements when legally justified.

We recommend reviewing contracts annually or whenever significant business changes occur. Changes in relationships, business operations, laws, or market conditions may warrant contract updates. Regular reviews help ensure contracts remain relevant and protective of your interests.
