Most business disputes start with a contract that was signed without being read closely, borrowed from the internet, or never written down at all. Most could have been prevented for a small fraction of what they cost to fix. Reams Law drafts, reviews, and negotiates business contracts and serves as outside general counsel for companies that need a lawyer on call but not on payroll. Call (405) 285-6878.

Contract drafting and review

• Customer, vendor, supply, and distribution agreements;
• Master service agreements and statements of work;
• Independent contractor and consulting agreements;
• Confidentiality and non-solicitation agreements that comply with Oklahoma law;
• Terms and conditions, credit applications, and personal guaranties;
• Equipment leases, licensing, and software agreements;
• Settlement, release, and separation agreements.

Because we also litigate contract cases, we draft with a view to how a clause actually performs when someone tries to enforce it: who pays attorney’s fees, where a dispute is heard, what damages are limited, and what notice is required before a right is lost.

Outside general counsel

For a predictable monthly or hourly arrangement, we act as your company’s legal department:

• A lawyer who knows your business and answers day-to-day questions;
• Review of contracts before you sign them;
• Entity maintenance, owner agreements, and corporate records;
• Guidance on hiring, contractors, and terminations;
• Demand letters and pre-litigation dispute resolution;
• Management of specialized outside lawyers when you need one.

Who we help

Owner-managed and family businesses, contractors and trades, manufacturers and distributors, professional practices, and growing companies that have outgrown form documents but are not ready to hire in-house counsel.

How we work

Single contract reviews are typically handled on an hourly or flat-fee basis with a defined turnaround. Ongoing counsel relationships can be structured hourly or as a monthly retainer sized to your needs.
