Business Contracts
Your business relies on strong, well-drafted contracts to set clear expectations, prevent disputes, and protect your interests. Whether you’re working with clients, hiring employees or contractors, or managing vendor relationships, the right contracts keep your business running smoothly.
At The Legal Department, we draft and review business contracts for Florida service-based businesses, ensuring they align with your goals and industry standards.
Client Agreements
A well-structured client agreement protects both you and your customers by outlining key terms, payment expectations, and service details. We help you create contracts that are clear, enforceable, and tailored to your business.
- Scope of Work & Deliverables
- Payment Terms & Late Fees
- Cancellations & Refunds
- Liability Protections & Disclaimers

Employee & Independent Contractor Agreements
Hiring workers? Proper classification matters. Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor can lead to serious tax and legal consequences. We help ensure your agreements reflect the correct worker classification and provide the protections your business needs.
- Employee Agreements – Set clear expectations for roles, responsibilities, compensation, benefits, and confidentiality.
- Independent Contractor Agreements – Protect your business with clear payment terms, project scope, and intellectual property rights.
- Worker Classification Guidance – Ensure compliance with labor laws to avoid fines and liability.
- Termination & Dispute Resolution – Define exit terms to protect both parties.

Vendor & Lease Agreements
Your business depends on strong partnerships with vendors, suppliers, and landlords. A vendor or lease agreement ensures you’re legally protected in case of disputes, service issues, or unexpected changes.
- Payment Terms & Performance Standards
- Deadlines & Delivery Expectations
- Confidentiality & Intellectual Property Rights
- Lease Terms & Property Use Agreements
