Protect your business with clear, enforceable contracts. Expert drafting, review, and negotiation for Canadian businesses of all sizes.
Contracts are the foundation of every business relationship. A well-drafted contract protects your interests, sets clear expectations, and gives you recourse when things do not go as planned. A poorly drafted contract – or one you signed without proper review – can expose you to unlimited liability, lock you into unfavorable terms, or leave you without remedies when the other party fails to perform.
At Onley Law, we draft and review contracts with a practical, business-first approach. We do not bury deals in unnecessary legal complexity. We focus on protecting what matters to you while keeping your agreements clear, balanced, and commercially workable.
Commercial Services Agreements: Master service agreements, consulting contracts, and vendor agreements that clearly define scope, deliverables, payment terms, liability limits, and termination rights.
SaaS and Technology Agreements: Subscription agreements, API terms, data processing agreements, and SLA frameworks for software companies and technology vendors.
NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements: Mutual and one-way NDAs that protect your confidential information during business discussions, partnership explorations, and employee onboarding.
Shareholder and Partnership Agreements: Agreements that govern how co-owners make decisions, share profits, resolve disputes, and exit the business. These are essential for any business with more than one owner.
Employment and Contractor Agreements: Agreements that protect your business through IP assignment clauses, non-compete and non-solicitation provisions, and clear termination terms compliant with Ontario employment standards.
Licensing and Distribution Agreements: Agreements for licensing intellectual property, distributing products, or granting franchise rights, with proper territory, exclusivity, and royalty provisions.
A standard contract review typically costs between $500 and $2,000 depending on the length and complexity of the agreement. We provide a fixed quote after reviewing the document. Our fractional general counsel clients get contract review included in their retainer.
A standard commercial agreement takes 3 to 5 business days for first draft. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive deals. Complex agreements like shareholder agreements or M&A documents may take longer.
Absolutely. Reviewing counterparty-drafted contracts is one of our most common services. We identify risk areas, suggest protective language, and negotiate revisions on your behalf.
Template NDAs from the internet often have gaps that can be exploited. If you are sharing genuinely confidential information – trade secrets, financial data, business plans – a properly drafted NDA tailored to your situation is worth the investment.
Key areas include: scope of work, payment terms, liability and indemnification clauses, termination rights, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality obligations, dispute resolution, and governing law. Missing or vague provisions in any of these areas can create significant risk.
