Florida business agreements
Commercial Contract Drafting
A useful business contract should describe the deal your parties actually made, allocate the risks they can manage, and give both sides a workable path when circumstances change. Stewart Law drafts commercial agreements for businesses throughout Florida from its Melbourne office.
When a custom agreement makes sense
A generic form may be a starting point, but it may assume different services, payment practices, ownership expectations, or remedies. Custom drafting is especially useful when a deal involves substantial deliverables, recurring obligations, confidential information, valuable intellectual property, a business purchase, or a meaningful imbalance in risk.
We begin with the transaction: who is doing what, when payment is due, what each side needs to protect, and how a disagreement should be handled. The result should be clear enough for the business team to use, not just technically complete.
Terms we work through
Payment and timing
Set invoicing, due dates, disputed amounts, late payment, and expenses in terms the parties can administer.
Risk allocation
Match warranties, indemnification, insurance, and liability limits to the transaction and each party’s actual exposure.
Ownership and confidentiality
Clarify who owns work product and intellectual property, what information must stay confidential, and permitted uses.
Exit and disputes
Address term, renewal, termination, cure rights, post-termination duties, governing law, venue, and dispute resolution.
Final agreement
Check amendment, assignment, integration, notice, and signature provisions so the signed version works as intended.
The right provisions depend on the agreement. A service contract, vendor agreement, purchase agreement, license, and nondisclosure agreement each present different issues.

Our drafting process
- Discuss the parties, business goals, existing documents, and points still being negotiated.
- Identify the terms that need a business decision and the risks that should be allocated in writing.
- Draft or revise the agreement and explain the provisions that require attention.
- Work through requested revisions and prepare an execution-ready version when the terms are settled.
The scope and fee are discussed during the consultation; this page does not quote a price for a drafting project.
Need a new agreement or a review of one you received?
For a new agreement, schedule a drafting consultation. If the other party has already sent a contract, our commercial contract review service explains the review process and links to the online upload portal.
This page provides general information, not legal advice. The appropriate agreement depends on the facts and goals of the transaction.
