Boca Attorney Contract AGREEMENT SERVICES
Ganim Law Group
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
A customized legal agreement that clearly outlines the responsibilities and rights of your employees as well as your responsibilities as the employer. Areas addressed in an employment agreement are unique to each business but often include a job description, terms of compensation, length of employment, outline of employee benefits, and non-competition issues just name a few. When expectations are clear and ambiguities are removed from the agreement, there is less room for future problems.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENTS
This is similar to the employment agreement but designed specifically to address the unique status of an independent contractor (otherwise referred to as a ‘1099 employee’) within the framework of your business. Independent contractors must maintain their own tools, schedule, licenses & insurance. Also, they receive their compensation in the form of gross wages without any taxes being withheld on their behalf. Having a written agreement before work begins clarifies the scope of work to be performed and the framework in which it will be accomplished.
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS
In this type of written agreement, trade secrets, business practices, proprietary product, client information, financial information, and documents are protected from disclosure to outside parties. If this document is properly executed it will give your business a firm legal footing to enforce it, if necessary, so that what must remain private to your business, remains exactly that way: private.
BREACH OF CONTRACT
A failure to do what one promised under the terms of a contract is known as a breach of contract. The elements that are necessary to maintain a breach of contract action, there must be a valid contract in place, documented performance or lack of performance of the breaching party in violation of the contract terms and resulting verifiable damages. If a conflict arises surrounding the terms of a contract, enlisting the help of a legal professional, such as an experienced business lawyer, can often resolve the dispute without having to resort to a lawsuit.
