Loose Contracts Can Destroy Your Business | Contract Review Attorney
I’ve sat across the table from business owners in Loudoun and Fairfax County—owners who built something real.
They put in the work, hired smart people, grew quickly, and made a name for themselves.
Then came the deal that unraveled everything.
A vague vendor contract. A verbal agreement that wasn’t worth the paper it wasn’t written on.
A strategic partner who turned into a legal nightmare.
These aren’t horror stories from someone else’s town.
They’re real cases from right here.
And I’ve helped clean them up—but I’d much rather help you avoid them in the first place.
The Danger of “It Won’t Be a Problem”
Most disputes I handle didn’t start with bad intentions.
They began with assumptions.
An email thread becomes the contract.
A friend-of-a-friend gets a handshake deal.
A growing company signs a vendor agreement without reading the fine print.
And when something goes wrong—deliverables missed, payments delayed, IP stolen—there’s no explicit language to fall back on.
You lose leverage.
You lose money.
You might even lose control of what you built.
Contracts Aren’t Just Paperwork—They’re Protection
I don’t draft agreements for decoration. I build contracts that anticipate real-world problems.
If you’re hiring vendors, onboarding contractors, licensing software, or entering a joint venture, every term matters.
I write clear scopes of work, payment terms, IP ownership clauses, indemnities, and termination rights tailored to your business model, not a generic template.
Because when the pressure hits, the only thing standing between you and a disaster is the strength of your contract.
My Job Is to Think 10 Steps Ahead
When you work with me, I don’t just “review” a contract. I sit in your seat. I think like a litigator. I ask:
- What could go wrong here?
- If this clause is tested in court, who wins?
- Does this agreement protect your cash flow, your brand, your IP?
I’ve spent my career building contracts that prevent courtrooms, not invite them.
