Business contracts that protect your company and set clear expectations.
Every business relationship is defined by its contracts. Well-drafted agreements prevent disputes; poorly drafted ones cause them. We draft and review the contracts your Georgia business depends on.

What We Do
Business Contract Services
We serve Hall County, GA, Jackson County, GA, Gwinnett County, GA, Banks County, GA, and all of Northeast Georgia with business contract drafting, review, and negotiation services.
Core Service
Contract Drafting
We draft service agreements, client contracts, independent contractor agreements, vendor and supplier agreements, non-disclosure agreements, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, and custom commercial contracts for Georgia businesses of all sizes. Every contract we draft is built from scratch for your specific transaction — not adapted from a generic template — with provisions that reflect the actual deal, allocate risk appropriately, and protect your interests in the event of a dispute. We write in clear, plain language that both parties can understand without a lawyer to translate.
Core Service
Contract Review
Before you sign any significant business agreement — a vendor contract, a commercial lease, a services agreement, or a partnership document — having an attorney review it can identify unfavorable terms, unlimited liability exposure, one-sided termination rights, or missing protections that you did not know to ask for. We review contracts presented by the other side and provide a written summary of the key issues, recommended changes, and any provisions that could cause serious problems if the relationship breaks down.
Core Service
Contract Negotiation
Most business contracts are negotiable — even those presented as "standard" forms. We negotiate on your behalf with the other party's counsel or directly with the other party to achieve contract terms that are fair, enforceable, and protective of your interests. Our goal in every negotiation is to reach an agreement that works for both sides — because contracts built on reasonable terms are less likely to end in disputes than those where one party felt forced to sign on unfavorable terms.
Contracts We Handle
Common business contracts for Georgia companies
These are among the most common contracts we draft and review for Georgia businesses. Each requires attention to the specific issues that arise under Georgia law.
Contract Type
Service & Client Agreements
A well-drafted client service agreement defines the scope of work, payment terms, revision process, intellectual property ownership, termination rights, and limitation of liability. For service businesses — consultants, contractors, creative professionals, IT providers — this is the most important contract in their business because it governs every client relationship. We draft service agreements that protect you from scope creep, non-payment, and liability for outcomes beyond your control.
Contract Type
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
Non-disclosure agreements protect confidential business information — trade secrets, customer lists, pricing strategies, product formulas, and business plans — from disclosure by employees, contractors, vendors, and potential partners. Georgia's Trade Secrets Act provides important protections, but those protections are most effective when backed by a well-drafted NDA that clearly defines what information is confidential, who is bound by the obligation, for how long, and what the consequences of a breach are.
Contract Type
Independent Contractor Agreements
The distinction between an employee and an independent contractor has significant legal and tax consequences under Georgia and federal law. Using an independent contractor agreement does not automatically make someone a contractor — the actual working relationship must support that classification. We draft contractor agreements that accurately reflect the relationship, protect the business's confidential information and intellectual property, and include provisions that minimize the risk of worker misclassification claims from the IRS or Department of Labor.

FAQ
Common questions about business contracts in Georgia
Answers to the questions we hear most from business owners in Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Duluth, and across Northeast Georgia.
Does a business contract need to be in writing to be enforceable in Georgia?
Not always — oral contracts can be enforceable in Georgia for most types of agreements. However, Georgia's Statute of Frauds requires certain contracts to be in writing to be enforceable, including contracts for the sale of goods over $500, contracts that cannot be performed within one year, and contracts for the sale of real estate. Beyond the legal requirements, written contracts are strongly advisable for every significant business relationship because they eliminate disputes about what was actually agreed.
What is a limitation of liability clause and why does it matter?
A limitation of liability clause caps the maximum amount one party can recover from the other in the event of a breach or other claim — typically limiting recovery to the fees paid under the contract or some multiple thereof. For service businesses, this provision is critical: without it, a client could theoretically sue for consequential damages that far exceed the value of the services provided. Georgia courts generally enforce limitation of liability provisions in commercial contracts between sophisticated parties.
Can I use a contract template I found online?
Online templates can be a starting point, but they carry real risks: they may not comply with Georgia law, they may be written for a different type of transaction, and they almost certainly do not address the specific circumstances of your business relationship. More importantly, provisions that appear favorable in a template may be unenforceable, and provisions that appear neutral may actually be one-sided in ways that are not obvious without legal training. Having an attorney review or draft your contracts is one of the best investments a business can make.
What should every client service agreement include?
At minimum, a client service agreement should include: a clear description of the services to be provided; payment terms, including late fees; ownership of work product and intellectual property; confidentiality obligations; termination rights for both parties; a limitation of liability clause; a dispute resolution provision specifying how and where disputes will be resolved; and a governing law clause specifying that Georgia law applies. Depending on your industry, additional provisions may be necessary to address regulatory requirements or industry-specific risks.
