Task Order Defined
Jump to Section
What is a Task Order?
A task order is a miniature contract that is used to define a project's scope, cost, schedule, and to determine the obligations of the parties to the agreement. One of the major initiatives of a task order is to explain exactly how money is to be spent to complete a job or project. It also contains specific details regarding when milestones should be completed and what protocols should be taken if deadlines must be extended.
The purpose of a task order is to provide vital structure to business relationships. It protects each party's interests and ensures that they both benefit from their relationship.

Harry N.
Experienced business advisor and in-house counsel with extensive litigation experience, representing parties in a variety of complex commercial disputes, including securities, financial fraud, contract, and antitrust litigation.
"Harry has been sharp, responsive, and straight with me. He reviewed my waivers and then flagged several issues in my other agreements that were bigger than what I hired him for, instead of just doing the narrow job and moving on. He explained the risks clearly, told me what to hold on and why, and structured a fixed-fee scope that worked with my cash flow rather than pushing me into a monthly plan I wasn't ready for. He also brought in outside specialist counsel where it made sense instead of stretching past his own expertise. Easy to recommend."

Hi, I’m Kevin Flaherty, an Illinois-licensed attorney with extensive experience negotiating and drafting complex commercial agreements for engineering firms, technology companies, public agencies, and small-to-mid-sized businesses. Over the course of my career, I’ve: Led negotiations on domestic and international contracts, including engineering services agreements, EPC arrangements, SaaS licensing, MSAs, purchase/supply agreements, NDAs, and other mission-critical commercial documents.

Built contract playbooks, drafting standards, review matrices, and workflows designed to help clients understand their risks clearly and move deals forward with confidence. Provided training and guidance to internal teams and leadership on contract strategy, compliance considerations, and best practices. I bring not only legal expertise, but also a practical, problem-solving mindset—translating dense legal terms into actionable business decisions and helping clients protect their interests without losing momentum.

I’m a commercial contracts attorney who helps growing companies get out of contract chaos and into something sustainable. I focus on the agreements that sit at the core of how companies operate—customer contracts, vendor deals, SaaS agreements, and supply and distribution relationships. Before going independent, I worked in private practice and embedded legal roles supporting technology, consumer goods, and manufacturing businesses. That experience shaped a practical, business-first approach to contracts: clear drafting, efficient negotiation, and advice grounded in how companies actually operate. I hold the CIPP/US credential and have completed AI governance training, which informs my work on data, privacy, and AI-adjacent risk terms commonly found in modern commercial agreements. If you want contracts that are clear, balanced, and usable by the people who sign and manage them, that’s where I’m most effective.

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.
