Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

Employment Agreement

Florida

Asked on Oct 28, 2022

Can a company keep an independent contractor's equipment and supplies after mutually severing ties?

I'm an independent contractor and have mutually severed ties with the owner of the company I contracted with. She said I could retrieve my belongings this past Tuesday at 2pm. Before I could do so she asked for more time to gather my items and have them ready for pick up in the front lobby. I asked why I couldn't just come get the stuff I could be done w/in an hour and she replied she had some accounting to do. Yesterday Thursday I said I wanted to come get my stuff Friday as I've given her plenty of time. She said I could pick up today at 3:15 as long as I pay her $180 that she claims I owe. First I've heard of this charge and completely dispute it. Now she is saying she is keeping my stuff in lieu of payment. I spoke with county sheriff's office who will provide an escort to retrieve my things. It's work related and her keeping the items is preventing me from working. Does she have any right to withhold my property? Just to be clear I'm not an employee.

Answered Nov 1, 2022

This depends on what was agreed to by the parties in the contract. If the contract is silent, did the parties have an understanding as to what would happen? It would be beneficial to have your agreement reviewed by an attorney and advise you on next steps. I can assist you with that review and advise. You can connect with me through the website.

Professional Services Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 22, 2025

What are the key provisions that should be included in a Professional Services Agreement?

I am a freelance graphic designer and have recently been approached by a potential client to provide my services for a project. While I have worked on similar projects before, I have never used a Professional Services Agreement and would like to ensure that I have a legally binding agreement in place to protect both parties' interests. I want to understand the essential provisions that should be included in such an agreement to cover aspects like scope of work, payment terms, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and liability.

This is a loaded question and you should really consider hiring an attorney from this website to draft or review a contract for you. We really don’t have a complete checklist of all the things you might want to include, and it depends on the particularity of your situation.. frequently a template might be missing something or it’s a vague or it’s broad and it creates a problems. However, detailed do you choose your contract to be is after the parties.. but it’s always about who is doing what to whom and how how they are getting paid and how is liability resolved

Graphic Design Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 3, 2025

Is it necessary to have a written Graphic Design Agreement for freelance projects?

I am a freelance graphic designer who often takes on various projects for clients. While I have typically relied on verbal agreements or informal emails to outline the project scope, deliverables, and payment terms, I recently had a negative experience where a client disputed our agreed-upon terms. This incident made me wonder if it is essential to have a written Graphic Design Agreement in place to protect both parties' rights and ensure clear communication and expectations from the beginning of a project.

Ralph S.

Answered Jul 25, 2025

It is highly recommended, but it is not necessary (ie required by law) to have a written agreement in most circumstances. But, as in with any handshake agreement- it will hard to figure out if there's a misunderstanding or something goes wrong. You end up in court, having people give testimony about what was and what wasn't the deal, and you're asking the judge/jury to go through your emails to try to get an understanding. Not to mention, an agreement can force things like mediation and arbitration to makes things easy. Also, without a writing you can both be wrong about your understanding of what the deal was, nobody being at blame. Litigating is never simple or easy or fast. Unless it's in small claims. Making it easy on yourself or your future lawyer can help you avoid a lot of future headache.

Joint Venture Agreement

Florida

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

How to split debt in a joint venture?

I am currently in a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. As part of our venture, we have incurred debt that we need to repay. However, I am unsure of how to fairly split the debt between the two companies, especially if one company has contributed more resources or expertise to the venture than the other. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the legal and financial considerations involved in splitting debt in a joint venture.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 28, 2023

This can be done by agreement of the parties. Typically it can be done in the same way profits are split or depending on how much the parties are contributing to the JV. If you need assistance with the JV agreement, I can help. You can find me on the contracts counsel website to engage my services. All the best Donya Gordon

Noncompete Agreement

Florida

Asked on May 21, 2023

Noncompete agreement for consultants?

I am a consultant who is looking to take on a new client, but the client requires me to sign a Noncompete Agreement. I want to make sure that I am not signing away my rights, and that the agreement is fair and reasonable. I am also interested in understanding how this agreement would affect my ability to work with other clients.

Venus C.

Answered May 30, 2023

Hello. I appreciate your concerns about signing a Noncompete Agreement. It's essential to protect your rights and ensure the agreement is fair and reasonable given that a noncompete typically restricts competing activities during or after the term of engagement. Without knowing more about the business relationship and reviewing the actual terms, whether the non-compete is fair, reasonable, or even enforceable remains an open-ended question. Bearing this in mind, if the noncompete is preventing you from taking on other clients during or after the end of your relationship (or both), the scope of this restriction must be reasonable in terms of time, geographic area, and the specific activities it seeks to prevent. For example, does the noncompete specify the types of clients, industries, or geographic areas that are off-limits? What is the duration of the noncompete? If the client breaches your main agreement, will that render your noncompete void and unenforceable? These are just a few general questions that require a thorough review and analysis against Florida non-compete laws. Overall, the ultimate goal is to carefully review the terms to understand how they might impact your ability to take on new clients. If you don’t understand or are unsure about the contractual terms and their legal implications, it's highly recommended you consult with an attorney who can review the noncompete and provide you with personalized legal advice before you sign.
