Contracts are the foundation of every business relationship. Whether you’re hiring a new vendor, bringing on an independent contractor, or entering a strategic partnership, the words in your agreement matter. At Yaqubie Law, we assist New York businesses in drafting and reviewing contracts that are clear, enforceable, and aligned with their goals.
Why Contracts Need a Legal Review
A handshake isn’t enough in business. Unfortunately, not every written agreement provides the protection it should. Contracts that seem straightforward on the surface can contain vague language, one-sided provisions, or terms that don’t reflect what was actually agreed to.
When we review a contract, we look at more than just the legal language. We make sure it protects your interests and holds up under New York law. That includes checking for:
- Unclear or inconsistent wording
- Hidden obligations or automatic renewals
- Clauses that shift too much risk to you
- Missing provisions that could lead to future disputes
Even if you’ve been handed a “standard contract,” that doesn’t mean it’s standard for your business. A legal review is essential before you sign.
Our Contract Drafting Services
We don’t rely on generic templates. When you need a contract, we build it to meet your exact needs, including the tone, structure, and contingencies. We consider how your business works, who’s involved, and what could go wrong later.
Our approach includes:
- Asking the right questions up front to understand your goals
- Drafting agreements in plain English, not dense legalese
- Including practical terms that reduce risk without overcomplicating things
- Giving you the final say before anything is signed
This way, your contract doesn’t just hold up legally—it actually supports how you do business.
Common Contracts We Draft and Review
At Yaqubie Law, we assist with a wide range of business contracts, including:
- Operating agreements and partnership agreements

If you’re not sure whether your agreement needs legal attention, just ask. We’ll let you know what’s worth reviewing and what can be handled informally.
How We Work With You
We make the contract process straightforward, whether you’re drafting a new agreement or reviewing one you’ve been handed.
Here’s how it works:
- Initial consultation – We talk with you to understand the purpose of the agreement and your goals.
- Review or drafting – We either mark up your existing document or create a new one from scratch.
- Clarifications and edits – We review the language together and refine it as needed.
- Finalization – Once everything looks good, we’ll prepare the final version and explain all the key terms.
You won’t be left guessing what you just agreed to. We take the time to answer your questions and make sure you’re fully informed before moving forward.
Avoiding Future Disputes Starts Here
Many business disputes start with a contract that wasn’t clear, or didn’t exist in the first place. A well-drafted agreement helps prevent misunderstandings, manage expectations, and lay out what happens if things go wrong.
By working with us from the beginning, you can avoid costly litigation later on. And if your contract ever does end up in court, having clear terms on your side gives you a stronger footing.
