Contracts & Leases

Contracts and Leases for Small Businesses

Contracts are central to how your business operates—governing relationships with customers, vendors, employees, and landlords. Well-drafted agreements can help clarify expectations and reduce the risk of disputes.

Matheson Law Office assists North Carolina businesses with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of commercial agreements.

  • Service agreements and client contracts
  • Vendor and supplier agreements
  • Independent contractor and employment-related agreements
  • Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements
  • Non-compete and restrictive covenants, where enforceable under North Carolina law

Our approach focuses on clarity, enforceability, and alignment with your business practices

Commercial Leases and Real Estate Matters

Leasing space is often one of the most significant commitments a business makes. We assist with:

  • • Reviewing and negotiating commercial leases
  • • Identifying key terms affecting cost, use, and flexibility
  • • Addressing renewal, assignment, and termination provisions

Understanding these terms before signing can help avoid unexpected obligations.

Managing Risk Through Contract Terms

Contracts often allocate risk between parties. Provisions related to payment terms, liability limitations, indemnification, and dispute resolution can have meaningful consequences.

We help clients evaluate these provisions and understand how they may affect the business if issues arise.

Ongoing Contract Support

As your business grows, your contracts may need to evolve. We can assist with updating agreements, standardizing templates, and addressing new business relationships as they develop.
