Transactions and contracts are a fundamental part of every business, and getting things right in the beginning is critical to ensuring a desired outcome and avoiding disputes that land in court. Whether it is a supplier contract, an employee agreement, a vendor agreement, or a relationship with an independent contractor or consultant, a well-structured written agreement is a must.  Few new business owners fully appreciate the pitfalls that can come with hastily considered and constructed contracts.

At The Law Offices of Esther Hopkins we work with California businesses to draft, review and negotiate contracts involving:

•    Employment contracts
•    Partnership agreements
•    License agreements
•    Leasing commercial property
•    Non-disclosure agreements
•    Purchase and sales agreements
•    Vendor contracts
•    Financing and refinancing
•    Stock purchase agreements
•    Buy-sell agreements
•    Independent contractor agreements
•    Shareholder agreements
•    Joint venture agreements

In helping our clients with a range of business transactions, we take the time to understand — in straightforward terms — our clients’ specific objectives in order to create legal documents that accurately embody the transaction and cover all eventualities. A good contract will stand the test of time. Our goal is to construct an agreement that provides solutions and anticipates all contingencies that may arise during the life of the contract.
