Types of Business Agreements
Business Agreements are many and varied, forming a large, diverse group of commercial legal contracts or documents. Here’s an overview of some of the many types of agreements for business matters we prepare, review and advise on.
Partnership Agreement
A Partnership Agreement outlines the role of each individual in the partnership. It includes defining the responsibilities, duties within the Partnership as well as how things proceed with regards to:
- Decision making
- Profits and losses
- The extent of financial contributions
- How disputes within the Partenership should be handled
- How to proceed when one or more partners want to exit the Partnership
There are many complex points within a partnership agreement. As experienced business agreement solicitors, we’ll create this vital document to define a partnership’s rights, obligations and entitlements clearly.
Joint Venture Agreement
A joint venture agreement typically has a start date and end date. It’s different from a partnership agreement in that it refers to a collaboration- often for a specific project with a defined end point. For example:
- A property development for a number of townhouses A software developer and a designer might work together to produce an App
- An author and an illustrator combine their time and resources to produce a technical manual
- A sports nutritionist and fitness instructor collaborate to develop material for an online training course for a client
A joint venture should have a provision to modify the delivery times or parameters if required by changing circumstances. A business agreement lawyer is responsible for ensuring that all the critical aspects of the joint venture are well-defined and clear paths are established for the future.
Sales Agreement
Some of the things a Sales Agreement specifies are:
- The names of the two parties in the transaction
- What is being sold- a detailed description free of ambiguity
- Inspection Details- when the goods may be inspected by the buyer, any special conditions related to perishables or privacy
- The price of the goods being sold
- Payment Details
- Delivery Details- and any special conditions regarding access for delivery
- Transfer of Ownership details
- Warranty Details
When you engage us as your business agreement lawyer- whether you’re the buyer or seller- we will write a Sales Agreement that protects your interest.
Consulting Agreement
As consulting grows in popularity, the need for an effective consulting agreement cannot be ignored. Our business agreement lawyers can prepare a consulting agreement so that the key elements are well defined. Specific conditions or clauses can be included as well as provisions for a change of scope or compensation.
The most fundamental elements of a consulting agreement include:
- The names of all parties to the agreement;
- A clear scope of work to be done by the consultant, what should happen, what processes should be followed, if the scope of work needs to change or be modified;
- The time frame covered, by the consulting agreement and if there are any provisions for delays outside the control of the consultant;
- Compensation terms- how much will be paid:when- and by whom;
- Obligations of confidentiality and ownership of intellectual property
- The scope of the consultant’s role- who do they report to, how and in what capacity- do they interact with staff, suppliers or clients of the business
