Commercial Contract Drafting: Getting the Terms Right from the Start

Congruence Law, P.C. Helps Businesses Draft Clear, Enforceable Contracts That Minimize Risk

In business, the contract is your shield — and sometimes your sword. Whether you're hiring a vendor, closing a sale, or licensing intellectual property, a well-drafted contract reduces risk, clarifies expectations, and prevents costly disputes. A poorly written one can do the opposite.

At Congruence Law, P.C., we help businesses draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts that are legally sound and tailored to your operations, not just pulled from a template.

Why Contracts Matter

Contracts form the foundation of nearly every business relationship. Common examples include:

• Service agreements and MSAs (master service agreements)

• Vendor and supply contracts

• Independent contractor and consulting agreements

• Software licensing and SaaS agreements

• Sales and purchase contracts

• Nondisclosure agreements (NDAs)

• Franchise, distribution, and reseller agreements

• Joint development and co-marketing agreements

Each one needs to reflect not just the law — but your goals, risks, and expectations.

What We Do at Congruence Law, P.C.

We draft and negotiate contracts for businesses of all sizes, across industries:

• Preparing clear and enforceable agreements that match your business model

• Identifying and addressing risk in liability, indemnity, termination, and IP clauses

• Customizing terms for your industry and regulatory environment

• Advising on contract formation, enforceability, and integration with existing documents

• Negotiating with counterparties to reach fair, strategic outcomes

• Reviewing vendor contracts before you sign — so you know what you're agreeing to

• Drafting multi-lateral and long-term agreements that anticipate change

We don’t just “draft legalese” — we build tools that serve your business objectives.

Contract Pitfalls to Avoid

• Signing vendor contracts without legal review

• Reusing outdated templates that don’t reflect current law or business terms

• Ignoring boilerplate clauses (they often control disputes and damages)

• Failing to define deliverables, deadlines, or payment terms clearly

• Leaving intellectual property ownership ambiguous

• Not including remedies for breach or early termination

Ambiguity now is conflict later. Every unclear clause becomes a battleground when something goes wrong.
