My manufacturer is in China, do you write contract agreements for the sales of my products?
I have a patent pending on my product. I have one product being made into a sample now with a China manufacturer. They are also developing another new product to work along with the initial product. I need an attorney to write up a contract license agreement for the sales and distribution of my products. I am in the process of developing a trademark to put all my products under.

How can I make a legal contract signature with no experience?
I'm currently making a new crypto coin with my friend. I want to make an official personal contract signature so that my friend doesn't resign or remove me from his team even though I am the founder. So, the point is that if my friend wanted to do the same, he couldn't because he already had a contract signed.

There are clauses that you can put in contracts to incentivize key people to stay in the company.
