BUSINESS CONTRACTS
& COUNSEL
Business Contract Drafting, Negotiation
& Outside General Counsel
A well-drafted business agreement is your best operational defense against disputes, non-payment, and commercial disruption. Ambiguous terms, one-sided provisions, and generic online templates leave your enterprise vulnerable to expensive court battles.
Backed by more than 14 years of in-house corporate counsel experience for both private and publicly traded technology, software, and healthcare enterprises, Aquilino Law delivers Fortune 500-level legal guidance scaled to meet the budgets of growing businesses and startups.
Commercial Contract Drafting
& Negotiation
Contracts must do more than document an arrangement; they must proactively allocate risk, define performance standards, and build in clear remedies if something goes wrong.
We draft, review, and negotiate an extensive spectrum of commercial agreements:
Master Services Agreements (MSAs) & SOWs
Establishing clear scopes of work, acceptance criteria, change orders, and payment terms for agencies, consultants, and service providers.
Risk Management Provisions
Operating agreements, confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), non-solicitation covenants, reseller agreements, and referral arrangements.
SaaS, Software & Technology Vendor Agreements
End User License Agreements (EULAs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), API licenses, and enterprise procurement contracts.
Operational & Corporate Documents:
Custom-tailoring limitation-of-liability caps, indemnity obligations, representations and warranties, and choice-of-law provisions.
Outside General Counsel Services
Hiring a full-time, in-house legal department is a heavy operational overhead cost. Yet, growing companies routinely encounter legal questions across marketing, human resources, vendor management, and compliance that require immediate, practical attention.
Aquilino Law serves as Outside General Counsel to small businesses, growth-stage ventures, and creative companies. We act as an integrated legal resource on an agile, as-needed, or monthly retainer basis:
Marketing & Advertising Review:
Auditing promotional campaigns, print collateral, sweepstakes rules, and social media contests for compliance with FTC guidelines and false advertising laws.
Regulatory Compliance:
Advising on business communications and consumer outreach regulations, including CAN-SPAM compliance, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices (UDAAP).
HR & Employment Matters:
Drafting executive employment agreements, independent contractor arrangements, employee separation agreements, and severance packages that minimize employment dispute risks.
Executive Risk Management:
Providing pragmatic counsel directly to CEOs, founders, and boards of directors on commercial transactions, governance, and dispute avoidance.
Business & Contract Dispute Resolution
Most commercial disputes stem from an ambiguous contract provision—or the complete absence of a written agreement. When a partner, client, vendor, or licensee breaches an agreement, you need an attorney who understands contract mechanics from the inside out.
We analyze your dispute strategically, evaluating your likelihood of success to determine the fastest, most economical path to resolution:
Pre-Litigation Demand & Breach Letters
Formally putting the defaulting party on notice, invoking contractual cure periods, and demanding remediation or payment.
Commercial Settlement Negotiations
Structuring favorable settlements, structured buyouts, or mutual releases that protect your capital and eliminate unnecessary legal fees.
Guiding your decision-making on whether to settle, arbitrate, or pursue litigation in state or federal court.
