Contract Law: Your Checklist for Producing Strong Legal Agreements

by eclewis | Dec 10, 2018 | Contract Law

Operating a small business typically involves the need to reach agreements with other parties. This may include everyone from partners to vendors. To protect yourself and ensure that the other party follows through with their part of the agreement, it’s critical that you document what’s been agreed to in a legal contract. Consequently, even though you may look to a Denver business attorney to draft the document, it is important that you have a general understanding of contract law.

Key Considerations for Drafting a Contract

As you work with the other party and your lawyer to produce a contract, keep these contract law best practices in mind:

Everything must be in writing. No matter how comfortable you are with the other party, it is essential that you put all aspects of your agreement into a written contract. It may seem like some of the details are inconsequential and can be covered by a handshake, but sometimes it’s the smallest things that come back to haunt you later. It’s especially tempting to take certain things “on faith” if they come up after a written agreement has been drafted. However, you are much safer revising the contract.
Be sure you are dealing with the right person. It’s not uncommon to put a great deal of time and effort into creating a contract only to find out that the person you’ve named in the document doesn’t actually have the authority to execute the agreement. Then, unfortunately, you are likely faced with a whole new set of review and revision iterations that not only eat up more of your time, but that may also delay progress on the initiatives covered by the agreement.
Keep the contract simple. A contract should include all the verbiage necessary to clearly explain all aspects of the agreement, but not a word more. If that sounds dramatic, remember that information that isn’t relevant to the agreement or that repeats things already stated only bulks up the document, extending the time it takes to review and approve it. What’s more, the extra verbiage can muddy the waters if the contract must be interpreted or revised at a later date.
Identify all parties correctly. How a person or company is generally known and how an entity is legally defined may be two very different things. At a minimum, using the wrong name in a contract can make it more difficult to enforce the agreement. And in the worst case scenario, it can void the agreement. This is not something you want to discover after a conflict arises.
Pay special attention to performance and payment. Everything in a legal contract should, of course, be accurate. But the areas covering what is required of each party in terms of actions to be taken or payments to be made are especially important. Be sure to double- and triple-check this information before you sign.
Include terms that cover confidentiality. In many instances, working with another person or company exposes your sensitive business information to them and vice versa. Your agreement should have verbiage requiring strict confidentiality regarding anything learned about the other party’s operations during execution of the contract.
Specify how disputes will be resolved. Taking a breach of contract case to court can be very costly, both in terms of time and money. You may want to consider agreeing to handle disputes through mediation or arbitration and writing that into the contract.
Be clear on the issues pertaining to termination. Under what conditions do you have the legal right to terminate the contract? How about the other party’s rights? The only thing worse than having a business relationship sour is then finding it difficult to officially sever the relationship.
Choose which state’s laws apply. If you and the other party are located in different states, be sure to specify which state’s laws will be used to interpret the contract. You may also want to indicate where arbitration or mediation will take place if that is part of the agreement.

Welcome Clarity When Drafting a Contract

Whether you’re new to contract law or have executed hundreds of contracts, preparing to sign on the dotted line can be a source of concern and anxiety. But, using the checklist above and getting input from a Colorado small business attorney can help you enter into the agreement with confidence.

Business Contracts: When there is a Breach

Business Contracts: When there is a Breach

by eclewis | Nov 13, 2018 | Contract Law

Contracts govern nearly every aspect of your small business every day. You are likely to have numerous contracts with other businesses, vendors, contractors, customers, employees, and individuals. A breach of contract, which can be particularly damaging to a small business owner, is common in business. Breaches are typically followed by a host of problems and wasted resources, ending many business relationships. Whether you are a startup business, a well-established business, or need a specialty agreement, a small business attorney will ensure that you are protected before or after a breach has occurred. This post will discuss what constitutes a breach, how it affects your business, and what you can do about it.

When Is It a Breach of Contract?

Contracts can be quite complicated, and what seems like a breach may really be a misunderstanding. One of the most common errors made in contracts is not recognizing breaches or having a process in place for dealing with them. Delays and other unexpected events happen all the time, and breaches can occur when a party fails to perform or pay on time, a product is not delivered as specified, or someone does not uphold the terms of an agreement.

Your small business attorney can help you determine if a breach has occurred and what recourse you have.

Four Types of Breaches

Minor – An example of a minor, or partial, breach is when someone fulfills an agreement, but it is not up to your standards.
Anticipatory – This type of breach gives you the right to bring a lawsuit against the party before the actual breach has occurred. If you paid someone to fulfill a large project by June 1st, but it is May 31st and they have not begun, you may claim an anticipatory breach.
Fundamental – In this type of breach, you may have entered into a lease agreement only to find out that, on moving day, the landlord rented your space to another business.
Material – One of the most serious types of breaches, a material breach of contract is a failure to perform or complete one’s duties under the agreement. If you provide a service or product to someone who then fails to pay you, he or she has committed a material breach.

How Does a Breach Affect Your Small Business?

It is important to assess and respond promptly to a perceived breach of contract. Many breaches, especially material ones, can result in a negative economic impact on your business. If a vendor or supplier fails to deliver a product on time, the damages can be catastrophic. They may even lead to a breach on your part for failure to deliver down the supply chain. If you are a victim of non-payment, this could affect your ability to pay your bills or purchase inventory. A small business attorney will ensure you maintain valid records and represent you in the event that a contract has been broken or resulted in harm to your business.

What Should You Do About a Breach?

You may want to settle a breach as swiftly as possible with little to no interruption to your business operations, but it is paramount that your rights are upheld. In most cases, all parties would prefer to minimize the time and resources invested in a dispute. You might request that the offending party take corrective measures in order to be compliant. You may even collect monetary damages without having to go to court. But when you find there is no other way, there are legal remedies for a breach of contract.

Three Types of Remedies for a Contract Breach

Damages – Payment of damages include compensatory, punitive, nominal, and liquidated damages.
Specific Performance – A court-ordered performance of duty under the contract may be used when damages are inadequate.
Cancellation and Restitution – A contract may be canceled by the non-offending party who may also sue for restitution.

Essentials, Elements, and Errors in Contract Law

by eclewis | Nov 1, 2017 | Business News, Contract Law

As a small business owner, you are constantly faced with contracts. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties in which there is a promise to do something in return for a valuable benefit. You may have contracts with customers, vendors, employees, contractors, and other individuals or businesses. Oral agreements are sometimes used, but formal written contracts provide legal documentation. Contracts are legally enforceable and should be used to safeguard your resources. Small or new businesses may be more susceptible to mistakes when it comes to the numerous types and complex legal terms of contracts. The Law Office of EC Lewis PC can help create contracts, clarify existing or new contracts and agreements, and provide protection before or after you enter into any binding contract, making sure you understand the essentials, elements, and common errors in contract law. This post will cover contracts that are essential to the success of your small business, the elements of a solid contract, and the most common errors made in business contracts.

1. Essential Contracts

Contracts help to build relationships and protect your business. With the right legal documents, you will protect your property (intellectual and actual), avoid contract disputes, and limit your liability. Here are some contracts that are essential to your small business.

Service Contract – outlines exactly what you will provide or be provided by another company
Employment Agreement/Employment Offer Letter – specifies the rights and obligations of every full time or salaried employee; an employment offer letter should include all of the components of the employment agreement
Independent Contractor Agreement – signed agreements should be in place for every consultant or short-term employee
Equipment Lease – use this contract to lease equipment or lease out your own equipment
Business Lease – the lease for your office or retail space should fit your needs, have a sufficient lease term, clearly spell out the landlord’s obligations, and limit the amount of rent/tax increases allowable
Confidentiality or Non-Disclosure Agreement – potential employees should sign this before interviews, so your proprietary information does not leave the building
Non-Compete Agreement – prevent a former employee or business partner from competing against you while they are employed and for a specified period of time after leaving your company
Software or Website Terms of Use Agreement – understand and comply with the terms of software licensing and website use agreements to avoid violations and potential fines or litigation

All of these contracts need to be carefully thought out, crafted, and reviewed. A small business attorney will help you through this process and represent you in the event of a dispute or litigation.

2. Elements of a Solid Contract

Entering into contracts with customers or clients for the sale of your products or services is an integral part of your small business. There are key elements every contract should contain. Without them, your contracts may be invalid.

Offer – an offer is an invitation or putting the word out that you are accepting contracts, like an advertisement in a store window
Acceptance – the customer accepts by taking you up on your offer; details of offer and acceptance will vary
Capacity – those who enter into contracts must be of mental, physical, and legal capacity to do so
Undue Influence – negative influence or coercion to enter into the contract is not permitted
Intention – both parties must intend for the contract to have legal consequences
Legality – certain formalities must be followed to make a contract legal; the purpose of the agreement must not be illegal

When key elements are omitted or one party does not comply with the terms, a contract has been breached. Whether you are allegedly at fault or the one who has been offended, a small business attorney will help you through your contract issue(s).

3. Errors Most Often Made in Contracts

Negotiating contracts is daunting, but it means you are in business. It also means you have to make decisions that have real legal implications. One poorly drafted or neglected contract can have devastating results for your business. You can avoid some of the most common mistakes before it is too late.

Not Having a Contract – do not allow the small or intimate nature of your business to leave you unprotected; contracts are necessary regardless of your business structure or employee relationships
Not Recognizing a Breach – have a clear process in place for dealing with a failure to pay, a product not delivered as expected, poor quality, or bad behavior
Not Providing an Opportunity for Termination – think beyond the breach; every business contract should have a way for both parties to exit the contract
Not Thinking About Dispute Resolution – consider mediation or arbitration before litigation; these are far less costly options
Not Specifying That a Contract Can be Assigned – make sure every contract can be assigned in the event of a merger, sale, or purchase of the company if an acquisition is the goal
Not Considering Intellectual Property – from day one, have everyone in the company sign a contract that assigns the intellectual property to the company

Before you commit any of these errors, a small business attorney can create, review, or revise your business contracts from startup contracts to ongoing contracts and specialty agreements.

How To Stay Software Compliant And Avoid Big Trouble

How To Stay Software Compliant And Avoid Big Trouble

by eclewis | Aug 31, 2017 | Business News, Contract Law, IP Law

Your small business may not operate on a national or global level, but as a software user on any level, you are subject to licensing agreement laws. The unauthorized use or distribution of copyrighted software is more common than you think. Not thinking about it will also lead to legal trouble, like the $3 million penalty the City of Denver recently paid to Oracle. Examples of misuse include sharing, downloading, selling, or installing multiple copies of licensed software. Other examples are installing a piece of software more times than the license permits and sharing software license codes, activation keys, or user IDs and passwords for web-based software applications. It is equally as important to protect your business’s intellectual property as it is to protect it from threatening audits or penalties. A small business attorney will help keep you compliant and protected. This post will discuss:

Different types of software licenses,
Impact and consequences of unlicensed software, and
Precautions concerning software and license choices every small business should take.

1. Staying Legal With Software Licenses

According to Wikipedia, a software license is a legal contract that governs the use or redistribution of software. All software is copyright protected, and a license grants the licensee/end-user specific permission to use one or more copies of the software. One exception is public domain software, where the software has been put into the public domain for anyone to use. Another exception to typical proprietary software is open source. Open source software is under copyright, but this type of license grants users the right to modify, reuse, and share the product while protecting the copyright holders from legal liability. One of the most popular of these licenses is a GNU General Public License, which takes measures to ensure that your software stays open source even if modified or redistributed. Other open source licenses include GNU Lesser General Public License, Apache License, MIT License, and BSD License. There are varying levels of complexity and restrictions among the different open source licenses each with their own benefits. A small business lawyer will help you determine what type of software and licenses are right for your business.

2. Impact And Consequences Of Failure To Comply With Software Licensing Laws

Software licensing or compliance audits are conducted to improve software distribution and to avoid or determine copyright infringement. Not only can an infringement result in your software being disabled, but it can lead to civil as well as criminal penalties. Unlicensed software also exposes businesses and consumers to security threats, like malware, ransomware, spyware, and viruses. A CBS Denver news story reveals that, as a result of the city’s violation of licensing agreements with Oracle, Denver taxpayers will pay millions of dollars more in 2017. The article states that Oracle threatened a $10 million penalty but settled for $3 million. Chief Information Officer for Denver Technology Services Scott Cardenas did not say how the city became out of compliance, only that the city has entered a new five-year contract with Oracle that is a “true-up” or balancing of its licensing with Oracle. A Forbes article indicates that companies, like Oracle, are giving more audit and breach notices, leaving businesses prone to losing their software programs and much more. It is easier than ever to fall out of compliance with the changing nature of software products and evolution of IT infrastructure. Your small business attorney will ensure your business stays compliant in order to avoid costly fines or loss of your current database.

3. Precautions When Considering Your Software And License Choices

Small businesses can learn valuable lessons from big entities and their mistakes or misfortunes with software licensing compliance. There are numerous precautions you should take to keep your small business out of big trouble. It is essential to find the right software and license fit for your company. Once you have done this, follow a checklist as it applies to your business.

Keep an organized record of purchase orders, contracts, paid invoices, retail and other receipts for purchase, and original license certificates;
Audit software installed on any desktop, portable, virtual computer, server, or personal computer/device used for company purposes;
Compare and match software product names, version numbers, and types of licenses;
Establish a company policy regarding software usage; and
Monitor ongoing usage.

A small business attorney will ensure you have taken the necessary precautions and represent you in the event of a software licensing violation.

Employee References – How to Tell the Truth and Avoid a Lawsuit

Employee References – How to Tell the Truth and Avoid a Lawsuit

by eclewis | Aug 17, 2017 | Business News, Contract Law, Employment Law

As a small business owner, you are likely the boss and human resources (HR) department all in one. This means the unfortunate task of firing an employee is yours. Once the dreadful termination is done, you are relieved and ready to move forward. Then, a month later, you get a call from a prospective employer asking for a reference for the employee you fired. Before you panic, decline, or say too much, know your rights.

Employee Job Performance, Skills, and Abilities

In Colorado, employers cannot be sued for providing information about former employees unless the information given is false. In many cases, you are protected from liability for certain types of information you give out, like the employee’s job performance, including work-related skills, abilities, habits, suitability for reemployment, and reasons for separation. However, you should not give any of this information out without talking to a small business lawyer about your specific situation as you could be liable for even giving out this information. There are enough bad cases and an endless number of potential circumstances that can leave you feeling vulnerable. A small business attorney will help ensure you stay compliant with Colorado state employment laws, from hiring your first employee to increasing your workforce to deciding to let someone go.

A Fortune article compares employment references to a legal hornet’s nest. Most business owners are well aware that they can be sued for defamation for badmouthing someone in a reference, but not many realize that you can be sued for giving a raving reference that does not match up to the employee’s performance in their new position. It is no wonder some employers shut down any requests for references.

Until you speak with a small business attorney, you should only answering the “who, what, and when” (i.e. job title, salary, and dates) of a former employee’s history. If you feel you need to answer more, for example because there are details that may be critical for a potential employer, speak with an attorney. What if you fired the person for frequent absence, poor performance, or grave misconduct? If you are reluctant to disclose such details, you can use a general comment like “I would really prefer not to say”.

Former Employees and Written Records

Some states have enacted service letter laws that require employers to provide former employees with basic written information about their employment – however, Colorado law does not affirmatively require it. Visit the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment for information on state labor laws that outline what employers can disclose about their former employees.

Hopefully, if you have had to fire an employee, you maintained documentation of the employee’s history with your business, particularly the details leading up to their termination. Despite your best efforts, they may blame you for their inability to obtain a new job, claiming slander or libel from your reference (or lack thereof). By speaking to a business lawyer before speaking to a potential employer, you can avoid or protect yourself from a lawsuit. Here are some precautions you can take.

Make a company reference policy. Be sure all of your employees are aware of the policy. If there are other staff members who are responsible for HR, make sure they know the policy well.
Keep it short. Do not volunteer extra or unsolicited information. It is best to keep your references short and to the point.
Provide only the facts. Keep your references as factual as possible. The truth is your best defense against defamation claims.
Designate who can give references. Select the most discrete and trustworthy employee, other than yourself, to give references. The more experience the person has with giving references, the less likely they are to say something wrong.
Create a reference request form. Include a statement about the possible disadvantages that are inherent to the reference process. This will provide you with another level of protection from liability. Requiring employees to review and fill out the form will supply you with detailed documentation as well as the right to decline a reference request if the employee did not fill out the form.

Employment Law is Complex

Employee references are just one small part of the large area of employment law. With its complex regulations and compliance requirements, employment law covers vast topics, such as contracts, hiring, and working with employees. The U.S. Department of Labor publishes an employment law guide for small businesses to develop employer policies on wages, benefits, safety and health, nondiscrimination and disclosure.

5 Crucial Areas of Commercial Real Estate Law for Colorado Businesses

by eclewis | Jun 21, 2017 | Business Formation, Business News, Contract Law, Real Estate Law, Retail Stores

5 Crucial Areas of Commercial Real Estate Law for Colorado Businesses

Real estate law is a broad and complicated legal area. Colorado is no exception with a tangled mass of statutes on everything from discloser and zoning laws to insurance and contract laws. Whether you lease or own your business location, you will likely encounter a property law issue at some point. Attorney Elizabeth Lewis, MS, JD can help guide you through real estate law at every level before it affects your business. The following post will discuss five crucial areas of commercial real estate law for Colorado businesses.

Landlord/Tenant Laws
Disclosure Laws
Zoning and Land Use Laws
Contract Law
Insurance Laws

Landlord/Tenant Laws

Whether you own or rent your business space, landlord/tenant laws are designed to protect the rights of both sides who have entered into a rental or leasing agreement. There are numerous areas within these laws, including taxation, right of privacy, payment of rental fees, disclosures, duration of agreements, and right to terminate agreements. As a Colorado business owner, it is essential to comply with state laws in order to prevent violations. It’s a good idea to hire a Colorado-based attorney to advise you on all of your real estate and leasing issues from initial set up to lease/contract review to protecting your assets.

Disclosure Laws

Before you buy or rent a business space, you want to know everything you are getting into. Are there any toxic substances, like asbestos or lead paint? Does the building have energy use restrictions or accessibility inspections? You may have found the perfect location, nestled in the bustling heart of downtown Denver, but it is important to know what you may not readily see. Like other real estate laws, discloser laws vary from state to state and deal with the location, condition, and restrictions of the property. Furthermore, a commercial lease and residential lease differ greatly and are subject to different laws. A small business attorney will review and advise you on existing or potential factors before you are ready to lease or buy a retail space.

Zoning and Land Use Laws

Your real estate choice, whether you operate out of a home office or huge warehouse, will affect your business. Commercial real estate can be divided into several categories, including office buildings, industrial, retail, restaurant, multifamily, undeveloped land, and more. Each of these properties are subject to Colorado state zoning and land use regulations.

Besides determining taxation, these laws define and enforce how a property is used. As a business owner, you already have a checklist a mile long when it comes to choosing your location – rent or buy, physical space, length of lease, affordability, renovations, maintenance, competitors, specifications for signs, accessibility, and much more. Learning that you must apply for rezoning to the local board is not something you want to add your list, and it does not guarantee that your application will be accepted. With the expert advice of an attorney, you can navigate through these real estate laws in order to select the perfect location.

Contract Law

After you have decided whether to buy or rent, reviewed the terms of disclosure, and confirmed zoning, you will enter into a contractual agreement. Specifically worded and structured, these legally binding documents are meant to stand up to any challenges by a landlord, tenant, or outside entity. Many savvy business owners have agreed to the terms of a contract only to fall victim to some unforeseen loophole or unintentional breach that leads to litigation. In this event, an attorney will represent you and help protect your business.

Insurance Laws

Based on the space you occupy and the business you operate, you are required to have certain insurance. This is to protect your investment and cover any property loss or liability issues. The type(s) of insurance you purchase depends on your status as lessor or lessee, the number of employees you have, as well as any building ordinance or state laws. In the unfortunate event of an accident, burglary, fire, or other disaster, additional insurance can help to cover the aftermath of damage to your business. A small business attorney can help you decide what coverage is right for you.
