Contract Preparation
Drafting of effective contracts requires attorneys to master most
aspects of civil law, including specialized areas such as operating
agreements contemplated by the Limited Liability Company Act,
prenuptial and property settlement agreements, real estate sales
contracts, complex leases, natural gas transportation agreements,
and employment contracts. Firm attorneys also draft E-commerce
and Internet related contracts such as web hosting agreements,
Internet advertising agreements, co-branding agreements, linking
agreements, and intellectual property licensing agreements. With
its combination of attorneys concentrating in contract law and
other attorneys concentrating in most substantive fields of civil
law, Sorling has the experience and expertise to timely advise
clients and craft high quality contracts.
The firm believes that a contract should efficiently memorialize
an agreement, whether a one-time transaction or ongoing service
contract. Any party should be able to understand and interpret
the transaction or working relationship established. Firm attorneys
use straightforward, plain language unless a term of art or traditional
phrase expedites or clarifies a matter. Sorling attorneys draft
contracts taking into account potential income tax and sales-use
tax consequences. Firm attorneys write contracts to protect clients
from foreseeable disputes, provide means to resolve disputes which
arise unavoidably and disfavor terms or conditions which exacerbate
those disputes which do arise. Mandatory arbitration provisions
and agreed allocation of known risks are often utilized.
Participation by firm attorneys in negotiations underlying a contract
varies from acting as primary active negotiator to behind-the-scenes
advisor. Regardless of the negotiating role specified by the client,
the firm's involvement assures that relevant issues are addressed
and provisions made for reasonable contingencies. The contract
is thereby enhanced by identifying, discussing, and properly addressing
issues which might otherwise have been left untouched.
