Here is what most people miss about US contracts: there is no single national contract law. Contract rules are set state by state, and the differences are large enough to decide a case. A non-compete that is fully enforceable in Florida or Texas is void in California. The Uniform Commercial Code governs the sale of goods but each state adopts its own version. Delaware is the default home for company formation and its courts shape how shareholder and founder documents are read nationwide. Data and privacy obligations differ between California’s CCPA and CPRA, Virginia, Colorado, and a growing list of other states.
Whether you are in New York, San Francisco or the wider Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Boston, Seattle, or Miami, and whether you need an NDA, a master service agreement, a SAFE, a shareholders’ agreement, an employment contract, or a SaaS agreement, the document is built for your commercial position and for the state whose law applies. We provide contract drafting with fixed fees and standard contracts in 24 to 48 hours.
This is the single most expensive thing businesses get wrong with US contracts: they copy a template from another state, or another company, and assume it works everywhere. It does not.
California voids almost all employee non-compete agreements, and recent law has gone further to limit them. Florida and Texas, by contrast, enforce reasonable non-competes routinely. The exact same clause protects the business in Miami and is worthless in San Francisco. We draft to the governing state and lean on confidentiality, non-solicitation, and trade-secret protection where non-competes will not hold.
A large share of US startups and public companies incorporate in Delaware for its developed corporate law and the Court of Chancery. Shareholder agreements, founder documents, and investment terms are often drafted to Delaware law even when the team sits in New York or Austin. We draft them correctly for the state of incorporation.
The Uniform Commercial Code governs contracts for the sale of goods across the states, but each state enacts its own version with variations. Service contracts follow common law instead. Getting the framework right changes warranty, risk, and remedy terms.
California’s CCPA and CPRA set strict data obligations, and Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others now have their own laws. If you handle consumer data, your privacy policy and data terms have to match the states you operate in. We draft to the regimes that apply to you.
