Thought I would write another post that plugs great products! As time progresses and I’ve been faced with different situations regarding development and deployment of websites, hosting, and other technological services I am more and more thankful for teaming up with a mentors that steered us in the direction of proper planning, from every direction, most important of which (for the purposes of this article), legal planning.
One such implementation we made early on was the actual creation and signing of real contracts. Although I had worked at various law firms and with legal advertisers and marketers, and was familiar with certain facets of the law, the actual creation and implementation of contracts was – at first – scary. Fortunately, there are some tools available to help you. Like many other things basic contracts are commodities and as such have been refined over time and can be replicated, manipulated easily to take care of every situation.
The software we first used to both create, as well as manage contracts is Contract Edge. According to their website:
You get what you pay for. High-quality legal forms and contracts are critical to your business. Our IT contract forms will help you protect your interests. Whether you need an independent contractor agreement, a non-compete, confidentiality or other contact to protect your business, ContractEdge is for you.
Contracts are a vital part of business, and if you hesitate about implementing them, remember they not only protect you, but also your client. Although Contract Edge deals with the IT industry in particular there are a number of other services out their that provide contract management and contract templates for every situation. As time progresses, especially as your business grows and processes start to change, have a solid contract in place will be vital to your protection and success.
