Contracts and Business Transactions

Contracts play a vital role in business transactions. Our Northern Virginia business transaction lawyers create contracts for all needs and situations, ranging from employee contracts to commercial lease contracts. When possible, we recommend that our clients use us to draft the contract. As your legal representation, we will include language and provisions that protect your interests and rights while ensuring that the document is sufficiently fair to the other party to keep them in the deal.

However, you might not have the option to draft contracts for each business transaction that you undertake. If that’s the case, our legal team can review and edit the contract for you. Then, we will negotiate with the other party to ensure that your interests are represented in the contract.

Commercial Leases in Northern Virginia

If your company has a physical presence, chances are you’re leasing space and need to enter into a 30, 40, or even 50+ page commercial lease. While a commercial realtor will help you negotiate the market and dollar terms of a lease, only a lawyer can properly review the lease to ensure that the legal language in it protects both your business, and you personally. Leases are typically “red-lined” by both sides, meaning changes are made in the document which goes back and forth a few times until both sides believe it is sufficiently fair and doesn’t try to take advantage of either side.

Our Northern Virginia business lawyers can use their trained eyes to review your lease and alert you to any aspects that might contradict what you’ve expressed you’d like to get out of the lease arrangement.
