Contract Law in California
California has its own rules when it comes to enforceability, employment protections, and consumer protections. That means your contracts need to be state-specific and thoroughly vetted.
At Seligson Law, we help clients navigate:
-
Enforceability Under California Law
Some provisions that are standard elsewhere (like certain non-compete clauses) may not be enforceable here. We’ll help you avoid costly mistakes.
-
Clear, Workable Language
Ambiguity can lead to disputes. We write contracts that are plain, practical, and built for real-world business use.
-
Contract Negotiations
We support clients during high-stakes negotiations, from founder terms to vendor deals, to help get the deal done without compromising your interests.
-
Contract Risk Strategy
Not all risks are avoidable, but we help you identify them early and structure agreements that limit exposure.
No matter your industry, a strong contract is your first and best line of defense.

FAQs
What should a strong contract include?
Every contract should clearly define the scope of work, timeline, payment terms, responsibilities, remedies, and how disputes will be handled. We tailor each agreement to fit your business and minimize risk.
Can you help me review a contract before I sign it?
Yes. We regularly review agreements on short notice to flag risks, suggest edits, and help clients avoid signing something that could come back to bite them.
What happens if someone breaches the contract?
The first step is to review the contract terms and gather evidence of the breach. From there, we help you explore your options, whether that means sending a demand letter, negotiating a resolution, or filing a lawsuit. We focus on enforcing your rights and recovering what you are owed, with a strategy tailored to your goals and the specific facts of your case.
Can you help with contracts in the cannabis industry?
Yes. We have extensive experience drafting and negotiating contracts for cannabis operators and ancillary businesses, with an eye on DCC compliance and regulatory considerations.
