Contract Limitations

It is important to understand the bounds of business contracts. For example, contracts are regulated by both federal and state law. For example, the federal minimum wage is currently $7.25/hour. While the state minimum wage in California is $14/hour, and the minimum wage within Los Angeles is $15/hour. This means that if your business operates within Los Angeles, you cannot draw up an employment contract for anyone that pays less than $15/hour. Doing so would leave you legally vulnerable. Our team is knowledgeable on these limitations and can help ensure that any contract you enter into is safe and advantageous. 

 

There are also contract limitations within the contract. For example, an employee that signs a non-compete contract cannot legally work for a competitor without being vulnerable to a lawsuit from your company. We can also handle these situations when they arise and help you to achieve a favorable outcome. 

We believe that a well-drafted contract should all but eliminate the need for litigation. A successful contract satisfies every party involved and creates a situation that should never lead to a lawsuit. We are committed to creating these types of contracts and these types of contracts only for our clients. We see the bigger picture, which is the success of your business, and every contract we execute on your behalf will be in service of that.
