A master supply agreement sets the rules for every transaction that follows, which means a single unfavourable term repeats itself across years of purchase orders. We look at the terms that decide who carries the risk: delivery and acceptance criteria, warranty scope and duration, limitation of liability, indemnity, price adjustment mechanisms, and what happens if either side wants out. For businesses on the buying side, we make sure the agreement does not leave you dependent on a supplier who has no real obligation to perform.

An NDA is often the first document exchanged in a new relationship, and it is frequently treated as a formality. It should not be. The definition of confidential information, the length of the obligation, whether the agreement is mutual or one-way, and the carve-outs for independently developed material all determine whether the document protects anything at all. We draft and review NDAs so that the protection matches what you are actually disclosing, particularly where trade secrets or pre-patent technical information are involved.

Licensing turns intellectual property into revenue, but only when the grant is drafted with precision. Scope, exclusivity, territory, field of use, sublicensing rights, royalty structure, audit rights, and reversion on termination each change the commercial value of the deal. We work on both sides of licensing arrangements, drawing on the firm’s intellectual property practice so that the license and the underlying IP strategy are aligned rather than working against each other.

Commercial leases in Florida are long-term financial commitments dressed up as standard paperwork. Landlord forms typically favour the landlord on the points that matter most: operating expense pass-throughs, renewal and escalation terms, assignment and subletting rights, maintenance responsibility, personal guarantees, and remedies on default. We review the lease before you sign and negotiate the terms that carry real cost over the life of the tenancy.

Construction projects generate disputes over scope, schedule, payment, and defects, and the contract usually decides the outcome long before anyone reaches a courtroom. We advise owners, contractors, and subcontractors on contract review and negotiation, change order and delay provisions, retainage and payment terms, and lien rights and notice requirements under Florida law. Getting the notice deadlines right is often the difference between recovering payment and losing the claim entirely.

Employment documents shape your workforce and your exposure at the same time. We handle employment and independent contractor agreements, confidentiality and invention assignment provisions, non-competition and non-solicitation clauses drafted to remain enforceable under Florida law, employee handbooks and workplace policies, and separation agreements. For technology businesses in particular, invention assignment language is critical: without it, ownership of work created by your own staff can end up in dispute.
