What Business Contract Services Does Brodsky Law Offer?
A well-drafted contract is the single most effective tool a business has to prevent disputes, allocate risk, and define the expectations of every commercial relationship. California contract law — grounded in the California Civil Code and the California Commercial Code (which adopts the Uniform Commercial Code for the sale of goods) — governs everything from vendor agreements and service contracts to partnership terms and licensing deals. Sasha Brodsky has drafted, reviewed, and negotiated commercial agreements for Santa Cruz businesses since 1998, bringing over 25 years of experience to every transaction.
Contract drafting requires precision and foresight. Sasha works with clients to create agreements that clearly define payment terms, performance obligations, warranties, indemnification provisions, limitation of liability clauses, and termination rights. He reviews contracts presented by opposing parties to identify unfavorable terms, ambiguous language, and hidden liabilities. For negotiations, Sasha advocates for terms that protect his clients' interests while preserving productive business relationships — an approach especially important in Santa Cruz's close-knit business community.
California law imposes unique requirements that affect commercial agreements across industries. Most notably, California Business and Professions Code Section 16600 generally voids non-compete agreements, meaning businesses cannot rely on standard non-compete clauses to restrict former employees or partners from competing. Sasha advises clients on lawful alternatives, including properly scoped non-solicitation provisions and robust confidentiality agreements that protect trade secrets and proprietary information without running afoul of California's strong public policy favoring employee mobility.
Sasha's scope of counsel includes but is not limited to:
Whether you need a vendor agreement reviewed before signing, a comprehensive service contract drafted from scratch, or an experienced negotiator at the table for a high-stakes commercial deal, Sasha provides contract counsel tailored to your business objectives. He ensures that every agreement reflects California law requirements and protects your interests against foreseeable risks.
