Vendor & Supplier Agreements
Review and redline before you sign, or draft your own paper so you are the one setting the terms. Pricing, service levels, liability, IP, termination, and the renewal clause everyone forgets.
Corporate Agreements
Your company runs on documents. Make them work for you.
Vendor and supplier agreements, contracts drafted from scratch, audits of what you already signed, and the governance policies that decide who can commit the company. Flat fee, agreed up front.
Know Before You Sign
The clause that costs you is the one nobody read.
Most companies do not get hurt by the contract they negotiated hard. They get hurt by the one somebody signed because it looked standard.
A supplier's paper is written for the supplier. It will usually cap their liability, leave yours open, auto-renew for another term, and put any dispute in their home county. None of that is unusual, and all of it is negotiable.
We work on the whole set: the agreements you sign with others, the ones you hand to your own customers, and the internal policies that decide who is even allowed to sign.
- Liability and indemnity, so the risk sits with whoever actually controls it
- Term, renewal, and exit, so an auto-renew clause never quietly buys you another year
- IP and data, so what your company creates and what your customers hand you stay yours
- Signature authority, so one enthusiastic employee cannot bind the company to a five-year commitment
What We Cover
Four kinds of work on the same set of documents.
Contract Creation
Your customer-facing agreements built from scratch and made reusable: master service agreements, statements of work, NDAs, and the templates your team can send without calling a lawyer each time.
Contract Audits
A pass over everything already in force. What is auto-renewing, what has no liability cap, what contradicts something else you signed, and what expired without anyone noticing. You get a prioritized list, not a pile.
Governance Policies
The internal rules that keep the company consistent: signature authority, approval thresholds, conflict-of-interest and document-retention policies, and clean board and member resolutions. See also Business Compliance for the ongoing program.
Our Process
How an engagement actually runs.
Same shape whether it is one supplier agreement or a full audit of everything on file.
Send Us the Documents
One agreement, or the whole folder. We scope the work and quote a flat fee before anything starts.
Clause-by-Clause Review
We read every provision against how your business actually operates, not against a generic checklist, and flag what is unusual, one-sided, or missing.
Redlined Delivery
You get the marked-up document plus a short summary in plain English: what changed, why it matters, and which points are worth holding out for.
Negotiate or Sign
We can take the open points to the other side directly, or hand you the language to send yourself. Your call.
Why It Pays Off
Cheaper before the signature than after it.
Fixing a bad clause before signing is a conversation. Fixing it afterward is a dispute, and disputes are where the real money goes.
The firm is transactional by design: no litigation and no hourly billing. That is not a limitation here, it is the point. We are paid to keep you out of the fight, not to be there when it starts.
Small Business Contracts
Service agreements, MSAs, NDAs, and the everyday contracts that keep your business running and protected.

Corporate agreement questions, answered plainly.
Usually not entirely. Even a company that will not change its pricing terms will often accept a liability cap, a shorter renewal notice, or a carve-out on data. The parts that are genuinely fixed are worth knowing about too, because then you are deciding with the risk in front of you instead of behind you.
It is a review of the agreements already in force. Most growing companies have signed things over several years, under different people, with no central record. The audit tells you what is auto-renewing, where you carry uncapped exposure, what conflicts with something else you signed, and what quietly expired. You get a prioritized list of what to fix first.
Yes, that is the contract creation work. We build a master agreement and the pieces around it (statements of work, NDAs, order forms) as reusable templates your team can send without legal review every time, plus a short note on which fields are safe to change and which are not.
This page is the documents: the agreements you sign and the internal policies that govern them. Business Compliance is the ongoing program around the entity itself, including filings, governance upkeep, and regulatory checkups. Many clients engage both, and they are quoted separately.
No. Costaras Law does not litigate. If a matter becomes contested we refer you to a litigator we trust, and we stay available on the underlying agreement.
