Contracts

Drafted for Clarity. Structured for Enforcement.

​

Contracts are not paperwork.
They are leverage instruments.

​

Every clause either protects your client — or creates future exposure.

​

JWL supports attorneys with:

• Contract drafting
• Strategic redlining
• Clause-level risk analysis
• Plain-English client advisory letters

​

All work is delivered exclusively to counsel.

​

​​​

What We Do

Drafting. Reviewing. Redlining.

​

We approach contracts from a litigation-aware perspective — identifying ambiguity traps, enforcement weaknesses, statutory conflicts, and imbalance before execution.

​

Asset allocation structuring, enforceability positioning, appreciation analysis, business interest protection.

​

Operating Agreements (LLCs)

Capital structure clarity, control design, buyouts, deadlock resolution, exit mechanics.

​

Shareholder Agreements

Redlining & Negotiation Support

​

JWL provides structured redline markups designed to:

​

• Identify risk shifts
• Clarify ambiguous language
• Narrow overbroad indemnification
• Align termination provisions
• Tighten liability caps
• Adjust renewal mechanics
• Rebalance guaranty exposure

 

Redlines are prepared with enforcement in mind — not just stylistic edits.

​

We focus on structural clarity and litigation positioning.

​​​

 

Plain-English Client Advisory Letters

​

Contracts fail when clients don’t understand what they signed.

​

JWL can prepare a written, client-facing letter explaining:

​

• What the agreement does
• Where the risk lies
• What obligations are assumed
• What happens upon breach
• Indemnification exposure
• Guaranty implications
• Renewal risk
• Ownership consequences​

​

Delivered to counsel for review and customization.

​

These letters help attorneys:

​

• Reduce misunderstanding
• Document informed consent
• Strengthen file defensibility
• Increase client confidence

​
