## Common Types of Business Contracts We Can Help You With

The skilled Denver contract attorneys at Sequoia Legal provide corporate contractual legal advice and services for some of the most common business needs, including:

- M&A Agreement
  Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) govern the purchase, sale, or merging of business entities. Our [mergers and acquisitions attorneys](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/mergers-acquisitions) assist clients in sourcing capital, drafting and negotiating transaction agreements, conducting due diligence, and structuring asset or stock purchase deals. We handle valuations, represent clients in negotiations, manage regulatory compliance, and negotiate terms for cash sales, stock transfers, earnouts, and other deal structures to protect your interests and facilitate smooth business integrations.
- Business Formation Agreement
  Our business formation attorneys provide advice on what type of business entity is the right choice for your goals and industry. Your [business formation lawyer](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/business-formation) also advises you of the tax implications for each type of business, so you can make an informed choice. We work with your accountant to determine whether you should form a limited liability company, C corporation, or S corporation. We complete and file all necessary paperwork, including license applications.
- Partnership and Operating Agreement
  [Partnership agreements](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/operating-agreement-partnership) are critical for ensuring each member of the partnership is protected. A good agreement includes provisions for resolving disputes and dissolving the partnership, including a mechanism for one partner to buy out another. A partnership agreement governs day-to-day business operations and delineates the responsibilities of each party. It also determines how dividends and profits are to be divided and offers protection for each partner’s personal assets.
- Franchise Agreement
  Many franchise agreements are already drafted in boilerplate contract language by the franchisor. We advise franchisees on their obligations before signing a franchise contract and assist with negotiations with the franchisor. By law, a franchisor must provide relevant documents and information for a franchisee; our attorneys help you review these before you sign.
- Commercial Lease Agreement
  A [commercial lease lawyer](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/commercial-lease) advises landlords and tenants in negotiating a commercial lease agreement. At Sequoia Legal, we draft, review, redline, and analyze documents before you sign them and negotiate more favorable terms as needed. Lease agreements can be complex. We review your obligations per the lease, including how it is to be used and what your business is permitted to do and prohibited from doing. We also ensure that you are protected with regard to property maintenance responsibility, liability, taxes, and utilities.
- Non-Disclosure Agreement
  Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) protect business secrets, including technical trade secrets, client lists, and other proprietary information. Our [non-disclosure agreement lawyers](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/non-disclosure-agreement) draft agreements for the appropriate positions in your organization, such as sales managers, personal assistants, or stenographers. Sequoia Legal reviews NDAs for you and advises whether signing is in your best interests.
- Non-Compete Agreement
  As your [non-compete agreement lawyers](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/non-compete-agreement) , we review agreements you may sign or have your employees sign to ensure compliance with Colorado and federal law. We verify geographic and duration reasonability, draft enforceable provisions, and pursue breach claims. We also advise you before signing non-compete agreements in your business dealings, ensuring terms are reasonable and won't limit your future opportunities.
- Employment Contract
  Employment contracts should protect both employers and employees. In your business, you may find yourself issuing employment contracts, even if you are operating in an at-will employment state. The contract can cover the employee's responsibilities and compensation, and is most common for C-level executives and directors. A Sequoia Legal [employment contract lawyer](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/employment-contract) can draft a contract that rewards loyalty from your leadership team and enforce it in the event of the employee's non-performance.
- Buying or Selling a Business
  [Business purchase & sale lawyers](https://sequoialegal.com/corporate-commercial-law/buy-sell-business) handle negotiations, drafting, and execution of buy-sell agreements. For sellers, we draft protective agreements, establish asset transfer terms, structure secured creditor positions, and obtain personal guarantees. For buyers, we conduct due diligence, audit financials, review contracts, verify asset purchases versus liability assumptions, and negotiate favorable terms that reflect true business value throughout the transaction.

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

- **How old do you need to be to form a contract?**
  Persons must be of legal age to enter a contract, which is over 18. This is referred to as “legal capacity”, a requirement for a valid contract. Everyone signing the contract must have the legal capacity to enter into the agreement.
- **Are contracts valid if they are not in writing?**
  Some contracts must be in writing to be legal, including:
  - Surety and guaranty
  - Contracts for real property
  - Long-term contracts
  - Contracts for a significant amount
  Oral contracts are considered valid as long as they are compliant with the statute of frauds.
- **What happens if a party to a contract does not fulfill its promise?**
  A breach of contract involves a failure to fulfill a contract obligation. The aggrieved signatory may file a civil suit for damages to make them financially whole. The parties must settle in arbitration if the contract contains an arbitration clause.
- **Can an international contract be illegal?**
  **Yes** , international contracts can be illegal if they require illegal activities to fulfill their terms. If goods and services contained in the contract are illegal in one country, then the contract is illegal in that country and therefore, unenforceable.
