Starting or growing a business in Texas comes with big decisions and even bigger responsibilities. One of the most essential — yet often overlooked — tools in your legal toolkit are contracts. Many entrepreneurs don’t consider contracts until a problem arises — but by then, it may be too late. Without properly drafted agreements, you’re putting your business, finances, and peace of mind at risk. At FOREVER LEGAL, we help Texas entrepreneurs secure the legal protections they need to grow confidently and sustainably. Smart business owners don’t wait for legal trouble — they prevent it. Here’s how.
Foundational Contracts for Every Business
Operating Agreement (for LLCs)
If you have an LLC — even a single-member one — an operating agreement is essential. It governs ownership, profit distribution, and internal processes.
Key Provisions We Include:
- Ownership percentages
- Profit and loss allocations
- Member buyout or dissolution procedures
Partnership Agreement
This agreement defines roles, contributions, and decision-making authority between business partners. A strong partnership agreement can prevent disputes and clarify exit strategies.
Bylaws (for Corporations)
Corporations are required to adopt bylaws that govern meetings, officer appointments, and voting rights. We ensure your bylaws are clear, practical, and aligned with state compliance requirements.
Employment Agreements
Hiring an employee without a written agreement creates risk. Our employment contracts define:
- Job duties and compensation structure
- Confidentiality and intellectual property rights
- Termination procedures
- Non-solicitation (where applicable under Texas law)
Contracts for Outside Relationships
Independent Contractor Agreement
This clarifies that a person is not an employee and avoids misclassification issues. Our contracts outline:
- Scope of work and deliverables
- Payment structure
- Deadlines and responsibilities
Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
NDAs protect confidential business information. We tailor them to specify:
- What information is protected
- How it may be used
- Duration of confidentiality
Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses
Texas enforces these clauses only if they’re reasonable. We ensure they:
- Are geographically and temporally limited
- Protect legitimate business interests
- Are properly integrated into enforceable agreements
Statement of Work (SOW)
When dealing with third-party service providers or suppliers, we ensure your agreements cover:
- Pricing and payment terms
- Delivery schedules
- Responsibilities and scope of service
- Termination and dispute resolution procedures
Master Services Agreement (MSA)
These are critical for project-based or recurring client work. Our MSAs include:
- Defined scope and exclusions
- Project timelines and payment milestones
Digital & Intellectual Property Contracts
- Ownership of work product
- Dispute resolution procedures
Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
If your website collects personal data, you are legally required to post a privacy policy. We ensure compliance with Texas law and federal standards. Terms of use protect your site content and limit your liability.
Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment Agreements
If you hire creatives, you do not legally own their work unless an IP assignment agreement is signed. We draft these to ensure full ownership transfers to you.
