What is a Short Form Services Agreement?
A short form services agreement is a legal contractual document that is used to procure small renovation or construction services. The contract is drawn up between a construction or renovation provider and a client, and can be for either residential or commercial properties. As long as the total cost for the job is less than $50,000, no additional documentation is needed.
A short form agreement is the most commonly used contract among small independent contractors. This is because these types of agreements are simple, which is ideal for small jobs that don't cost much money and often don't take as long as their larger counterparts.

Kenneth W.
Committed to a career in advocacy as an attorney, educator, and consultant, I specialize in education, family, personal injury, and criminal law. While at John Rue & Associates LLC, I led litigation and alternative dispute resolution, handling complex class-action lawsuits involving discrimination, privacy, administrative, and education law. I also directed conflict resolution through mediation, reducing costs and securing favorable client outcomes. While in law school, I served as a law clerk at Wilson Elser, excelling in crafting answers, overseeing discovery, attending depositions, and conducting exhaustive legal research. My responsibilities extended to preparing deposition summaries, assisting in motion practice, drafting persuasive briefs, evaluating cases, and contributing to trial preparations. I thrived in managing client affairs, supporting colleagues, and ensuring compliance with relevant laws. I am eager to explore opportunities to contribute my skills and passion to impactful projects aligned with client needs. I look forward to discussing opportunities and demonstrating how my qualifications will meet client needs.
