Bargaining Agreement Defined
Jump to Section
What is a Bargaining Agreement?
A bargaining agreement is a legal contract between an employer and a union representing the employees that documents agreements made between the parties. Prior to drafting and signing the agreement, company executive employees meet with union workers to discuss certain items such as wages, work hours, and benefits. Through these meetings, the parties are able to compromise to come to an agreement regarding how business policy can be modified to better serve employees. The resulting document that enforces these agreed-upon changes is the collective agreement.
The primary function of the bargaining agreement is to hold union representatives and company executives to follow through on the promises they make to one another during the bargaining process.

Jennifer G.
Business and estate planning attorney with 12 years in law — five as licensed counsel, plus seven as a law clerk and legal assistant before that. I draft and review business contracts, form LLCs and corporations, and build wills, trusts, and estate plans. Two things make my work different. Alongside my JD I hold an LLM in Wealth Management and have passed the Series 65 (Uniform Investment Adviser Law Exam), so I understand the tax and financial mechanics behind a document, not just its language — the same rigor I've applied to trust and entity structures for families with $100M+ in assets goes into a single NDA review. And I spent years in civil litigation defending insurers and their insureds, so I know which clauses actually get fought over, and I draft with that in mind instead of pasting boilerplate. Flat-fee quotes whenever scope allows. Same-business-day responses. Most single-document projects delivered in 1–3 business days, with a plain-English summary of what I changed and why. Licensed in Texas (Bar No. 24123061) and malpractice insured; available nationwide for contract, business, and commercial matters that don't require state-specific admission. Message me what you're working on and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
