Contracts built for the state that governs them.
My Legal Pal drafts and reviews contracts for startups, founders, and established businesses operating in the United States. Every agreement is written by a qualified contract lawyer for the specific state law that applies, not pulled from a national template and not generated by software.
This matters more in the US than almost anywhere. Contract law is set state by state. A non-compete that holds in Florida is void in California. A liability cap written for New York can read differently under Texas law. The right contract is the one drafted for the jurisdiction it will be enforced in.
Whether you need an NDA for a funding conversation, a master service agreement for an enterprise client, a SaaS subscription agreement, a founders’ agreement, or a commercial contract across state lines, the document is built for your commercial position. Fixed fees, standard contracts in 24 to 48 hours.
The contracts that cause damage are the ones that looked fine.
Most US contract problems are not obvious at signing. A service agreement missing a proper liability cap looks identical to one that has it, until a client claims losses worth several times the fee. A founders’ agreement without vesting reads like any other, until a co-founder leaves and claims their full equity.
State law decides enforceability
There is no single US contract law. Each state sets its own rules on what holds. We draft to the governing state, and we help you choose that state on purpose rather than out of habit.
Non-competes vary sharply
California voids most employee non-competes. Other states enforce reasonable ones, and the FTC has been active on the issue. A non-compete copied from the wrong state can be worthless. We draft restrictive covenants that hold where your people work.
Delaware is the corporate default
Most startups incorporate in Delaware for its established corporate law and investor familiarity. SAFEs, investor documents, and shareholder agreements are best drafted to that standard.
The UCC governs goods
The Uniform Commercial Code shapes contracts for the sale of goods, with local variation. Supply, vendor, and distribution agreements need to account for it.
In a US services deal worth $60,000, a missing limitation of liability clause can expose the provider to claims worth several times the contract value.

What makes a US contract actually hold up
The clauses most often missing from template contracts. Tap to expand each.
01
A limitation of liability that survives review
+
“Neither party shall be liable for any damages.” Often too broad to enforce.
A cap tied to fees paid in the prior 12 months, with carve-outs for IP infringement, breach of confidentiality, and indemnities.
02
IP assignment that actually transfers ownership
+
Without a present-tense assignment and coverage of future work, ownership of code or designs made by a contractor can stay with the creator. The most expensive omission in US technology contracts.
03
Payment terms with consequences
+
“Payment to be made within a reasonable time.”
“Net 30 from invoice. 1.5% monthly interest on overdue amounts. Service may pause after 45 days.”
04
Non-competes scoped to the state
+
An over-broad non-compete is struck down. The version that holds is narrow in geography, duration, and scope, and matched to the state where the employee works.
05
Governing law and venue chosen on purpose
+
A boilerplate venue clause can force you to litigate in a state where you have no presence. Choice of state law and forum should be deliberate, matched to cost and enforceability.

Frequently asked
What does a contract lawyer do?
A contract lawyer drafts, reviews, negotiates, and helps enforce agreements, making sure a contract is clear, valid under the governing state law, and actually protects your position if something goes wrong.
Can you draft contracts under any US state law?
Yes. We draft to the governing state, whether Delaware, California, New York, Texas, or any other, and advise on which state law to choose when you have a choice.
How long does a contract take?
Standard contracts such as NDAs, SAFEs, and service agreements are usually ready in 24 to 48 hours. Complex documents like shareholder agreements take 3 to 5 business days. Urgent work is available.
Do you review contracts I have already received?
Yes. We review a counterparty’s draft, flag the risks, suggest revisions in tracked changes, and explain what you would actually be agreeing to before you sign.
Are non-competes enforceable in the US?
It depends on the state. California voids most employee non-competes, while others enforce reasonable ones. We draft restrictive covenants only as far as they hold where your employee works.
What does it cost?
Fixed fees set by the complexity of the contract. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices. You get a precise quote after a short conversation, with no obligation.
