Commercial Contracts · Calgary
Commercial Contract Lawyer in Calgary
Contracts are where revenue is won, or quietly lost. The agreement you sign in a hurry today is the one a buyer reads line by line in diligence three years from now. We draft and negotiate the contracts behind your business so they protect you when it matters and don’t surface costs you never priced in.
What we handle
What we draft and negotiate
The agreements behind your revenue, supply, technology, and people, drafted to protect the downside and capture the upside.
-
Commercial agreements
Master service, supply, distribution, and reseller agreements, with the liability caps, indemnities, warranties, and termination terms that decide who carries the risk.
-
SaaS, licensing & subscription terms
Technology and licensing agreements built for recurring revenue, including the change-of-control and renewal terms buyers scrutinize.
-
Employment & contractor agreements
Clear, enforceable terms for employees and contractors, with IP assignment, confidentiality, and restrictive covenants that keep your people, and what they build, on your side.
-
Intellectual property
Assignment, licensing, and protection of the brand, code, and ideas that are often worth more than anything on your balance sheet.
-
Contract playbooks
Standardized templates and negotiation guardrails so your team can close routine deals quickly, without a lawyer on every one.
Why this protects your valuation
The contract work you do now is valuation you protect later
Disorganized or one-sided contracts hand a buyer leverage and cut your price in diligence. Clean, consistent, enforceable agreements signal a business built with discipline.

Common questions
Contracts, answered
Should I use a template contract or hire a lawyer?
Templates are fine for the lowest-stakes, highest-volume agreements, and we’ll often build you a playbook of them. For anything that carries real money or real risk, a generic template usually misses the terms that matter and creates exposure you won’t see until it’s a problem.
Can you review a contract someone sent me?
Yes. Contract review and negotiation, on agreements you’ve received, is core to what we do, whether it’s a customer’s paper, an investor’s term sheet, or a vendor’s MSA.
