Contracts Are Where Risk Is Decided

Every business runs on agreements — with customers, vendors, partners, and employees. The terms you sign decide who pays when something goes wrong, who owns what, and how easily you can walk away. Chandler businesses in semiconductors, technology, and advanced manufacturing sign these documents constantly, often on a template and a handshake. We focus on the four things that actually protect you:

Contract drafting

Agreements drafted to anticipate how a deal can fail — indemnities, termination rights, limitation of liability, and dispute terms written to protect you, not just to paper the transaction.

Contract review

Line-by-line review before you sign — we flag the auto-renewals, one-sided indemnities, and quiet liability shifts that templates and counterparties slip past busy owners.

Negotiation support

Redlines and negotiation strategy that move the terms that matter — risk allocation, payment, IP ownership, and exit — without blowing up the relationship or the deal.

Disputes & enforcement

When a counterparty breaches, the contract you signed decides your leverage. We draft for enforceability up front and advise on breach, cure, and remedies when performance falls apart.

How It Works

Draft. Review. Negotiate.

Three things every important contract needs before you sign it.

Draft

Agreements built around your actual risk — not a generic template.

Review

Every term you sign read for the traps before they cost you.

Negotiate

The clauses that allocate risk moved in your direction.

Why Accord & Shield

Boutique focus, not a generalist

The reasons businesses bring their contracts to a transactional specialist instead of a general practitioner.

Transactional focus, not a generalist

We do business law — contracts, formation, M&A, employment. Contracts aren't a side practice here; they're core work, handled with the depth a high-stakes agreement deserves.

Drafted for enforceability

An agreement that reads fine but won't hold up is worse than no contract at all. We draft with the enforceability rules of your state in mind, so the terms mean what you think they mean.

Flat-fee options on defined work

For many contracts — review, standard agreements, template sets — we can quote a flat fee up front, so you know the cost before the work starts.

Three states, one relationship

Licensed in Arizona, California, and Texas. If your business signs contracts across state lines, you get one firm that understands all three, not three separate lawyers to coordinate.

Common Questions

Chandler Contract Law FAQs

Do I really need a lawyer to review a contract in Chandler?

For low-value, standard agreements, often not. But for anything with real money, ongoing obligations, IP, or liability exposure, a review before you sign is far cheaper than a dispute after. We frequently catch auto-renewals, one-sided indemnities, and termination traps that cost Chandler businesses far more than the review would have.

How much does contract drafting or review cost?

For many defined contract matters — reviewing an agreement, drafting a standard contract, or building a template set — we can quote a flat fee up front so you know the cost before we start. More complex or negotiated agreements are scoped individually. We'll always tell you the basis for the fee before any work begins.

Can you handle contracts for a Chandler business if you're based in Scottsdale?

Yes. Our attorney is licensed in Arizona (AZ), so your Chandler contracts are handled under Arizona law by a Arizona-admitted attorney. Most contract work — drafting, review, and negotiation — is handled efficiently by phone, email, and video, without an in-person office visit.

What kinds of contracts do you draft and review?

Service agreements, master services agreements (MSAs), SaaS and software licenses, NDAs, vendor and supplier contracts, independent contractor and employment agreements, partnership and operating agreements, and the commercial contracts that run day-to-day operations. If it allocates risk between your business and someone else, we can draft or review it.

What happens if the other side breaches the contract?

The leverage you have when a counterparty breaches is largely decided by how the contract was drafted — the cure periods, remedies, indemnities, and dispute terms. We draft those terms to protect you up front, and when a breach happens, we advise on your options under the agreement and applicable law.
