Commercial Transaction Law

Commercial Transaction Lawyers Serving Clients Nationwide

Commercial agreements are where business strategy becomes enforceable reality. A supply agreement, licensing deal, or services contract determines who bears risk, who controls performance, and what happens when circumstances change — and imprecise drafting often surfaces years later, at the worst possible time. The commercial transaction lawyers at Kaufman & Hilbert PC draft and negotiate agreements that protect your position while keeping deals moving. Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, and serving clients nationwide and internationally, our firm brings a senior-led approach to every transaction, informed by litigators who know exactly how contract language is attacked when disputes arise.

How Kaufman & Hilbert Can Help

From routine vendor contracts to complex, multi-party commercial arrangements, our attorneys handle the transactional work that keeps businesses running. We draft, review, and negotiate agreements including:

  • Supply and distribution agreements, including exclusivity, territory, and performance terms
  • Licensing agreements for technology, intellectual property, and other business assets
  • Services agreements, including master services agreements and statements of work
  • Vendor and customer agreements, including standard-form terms built for repeated use
  • Risk allocation counseling — indemnification, limitations of liability, warranties, and insurance provisions

Our Commercial Transaction Services

Drafting and Negotiating Commercial Agreements

A contract should do two things: capture the deal accurately and protect you when performance falters. Our attorneys draft agreements in clear, enforceable language and negotiate from a deep understanding of market terms — pressing the points that matter and conceding efficiently on those that don’t. Because senior attorneys do the work, the final document reflects judgment, not boilerplate.

Supply and Distribution Agreements

Supply chains and distribution networks run on contracts. We negotiate the terms that determine whether these relationships create value or risk: pricing and adjustment mechanisms, exclusivity and territory, minimum commitments, quality standards, termination rights, and remedies for non-performance.

Risk Allocation and Contract Architecture

Every contract allocates risk, whether deliberately or by default. We focus on the provisions that decide real disputes — indemnification, limitation of liability, warranties, force majeure, and dispute resolution — and align them with your risk tolerance and insurance program. For recurring contracting needs, we build standard forms and playbooks that bring consistency to your entire portfolio.

Kaufman & Hilbert represents companies, individuals, and organizations across the contracting spectrum — emerging companies negotiating their first major agreements, established enterprises managing high volumes of vendor and customer contracts, and businesses entering critical supply, distribution, or licensing relationships.

Our Approach

01

Listen & Assess

We start with the business deal — what you are buying, selling, or licensing, what you are willing to risk, and where the relationship could go wrong.

02

Strategy

We identify your negotiation priorities and the concessions that cost you little, so negotiations are efficient and deliberate.

03

Execution

Senior attorneys draft and negotiate the agreement, keeping you informed and translating legal terms into business consequences.

04

Resolution

After signing, we remain available for amendments, renewals, performance questions, and the next agreement.

  • FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, particularly for agreements with meaningful financial exposure or long terms. Form contracts favor their author. A focused review identifies one-sided risk allocation and gives you concrete points to negotiate.
It depends on the deal, but disputes most often turn on scope of work, payment terms, indemnification, limitation of liability, termination rights, and dispute resolution. These deserve the most attention.
Yes. We build standard-form vendor, customer, and services agreements tailored to your business and risk profile, with negotiation guidance, so your team can contract consistently.
Your options depend on the contract's terms — notice and cure provisions, remedies, and dispute resolution clauses. Our litigators work with our transactional team to enforce your rights efficiently.
