Binder Law & Strategy

Commercial Contracts

Contracts define every relationship a company has — with customers, vendors, partners, and service providers. When they're drafted well, they prevent disputes, protect revenue, and let deals close faster. When they're vague or one-sided, they become the liability that is discovered at the worst possible moment. Binder Law helps businesses draft, review, and negotiate the commercial agreements that run their day-to-day operations.

Whether a master services agreement built from scratch, a vendor contract reviewed before execution, or a stack of templates the Company's sales team can reuse, the goal is the same: clear terms, balanced risk, and language that holds up when it matters.

Contract drafting

Off-the-shelf templates pulled from the internet are not tailored toward your company's business and often leave critical gaps in liability, IP ownership, and termination. We draft custom commercial agreements tailored to how your company actually operates — and reusable templates your team can deploy without calling a lawyer for every deal.

  • Master services agreements (MSAs) and statements of work
  • SaaS, software license, and technology agreements
  • Vendor, supply, and procurement contracts
  • Reseller, distribution, and channel-partner agreements
  • Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and confidentiality terms
  • Independent contractor and professional services agreements
  • Licensing and intellectual-property agreements

Contract review and redlining

Before you sign someone else's paper, you should know exactly what you're agreeing to. We review and redline inbound contracts to flag the terms that create real exposure — unlimited liability, auto-renewals, lopsided indemnification, IP assignment, and restrictive covenants — and translate the legalese into plain-English risk you can act on. You get a marked-up document, a short summary of what matters, and clear recommendations on what to push back on.
