LLC Operating Agreement

Business

Governs how your LLC is run, who owns what percentage, and how decisions are made. Every multi-member LLC needs one. Without it, state default rules apply — which may not reflect what you actually agreed to with your partners.

Business Partnership Agreement

Business

Sets the terms for running a business with one or more partners — who contributes what, how profits are split, and what happens if someone wants out. Prevents the most common partner disputes before they happen.

Buy-Sell Agreement

Business

A business prenup that determines what happens to someone's ownership stake when they die, become disabled, or want to leave. Protects the remaining owners from having to partner with someone's heirs or an unwanted buyer.

Joint Venture Agreement

Business

When two companies want to work together on a specific project without fully merging, this is the document. It defines what each party contributes, how profits are shared, and what happens when the project ends.

Shareholder Agreement

Business

For corporations — defines the rights and responsibilities of shareholders, how shares can be transferred, and how the company is governed. Works alongside the corporate bylaws to protect minority shareholders.

Freelance Services Agreement

Freelance

The core freelance contract that defines the work, the pay, the timeline, and who owns what at the end. Every freelancer should have one of these signed before starting any project.

Independent Contractor Agreement

Freelance

Establishes that you are working as an independent contractor, not an employee. This distinction matters enormously for taxes, benefits, and legal liability. Protects both you and your client.

Scope of Work Agreement

Freelance

A detailed breakdown of exactly what you will deliver, by when, and for how much. Prevents scope creep — the silent killer of freelance projects — by making the boundaries of the work crystal clear upfront.

Employment Offer Letter

Employment

A formal job offer that outlines the position, salary, start date, and key conditions of employment. Sent before the employment agreement, it sets the stage for what both sides are agreeing to.

Employment Agreement

Employment

The full formal contract between an employer and employee. Covers compensation, duties, confidentiality, termination conditions, and intellectual property ownership. More detailed than an offer letter.

Non-Compete Agreement

Employment

Restricts where an employee can work after leaving your company. These are often unenforceable — especially in California — so the geographic scope and duration must be carefully limited to stand up in court.

IP Assignment Agreement

Employment

Makes it clear that anything created by an employee on company time belongs to the company. Essential for tech companies, creative agencies, or any business where employees produce intellectual property.

Mutual NDA

NDA

Both parties agree to protect each other's confidential information. Used when two businesses are exploring a partnership or deal where sensitive information flows in both directions.

One-Way NDA

NDA

Only one party shares confidential information. Used when a business shares proprietary information with a contractor, vendor, or potential investor who is not sharing anything sensitive in return.

Employee NDA

NDA

Protects company secrets when hiring employees. Covers trade secrets, customer lists, product plans, and financial information. Should be signed on day one, before the employee learns anything confidential.

Commercial Lease Agreement

Real Estate

For renting business space — office, retail, or industrial. Significantly more complex than a residential lease and much more negotiable. Pay close attention to the rent escalation clauses and the personal guarantee requirement.

Residential Lease Agreement

Real Estate

Governs the rental of a home or apartment between a landlord and tenant. Sets the rent, term, security deposit, and rules for the property. State laws heavily regulate what this document can and cannot say.

Roommate Agreement

Real Estate

Defines how shared living expenses and responsibilities are split between roommates. Covers rent, utilities, chores, guests, and quiet hours. Not a substitute for a lease but an important companion document.

Service Agreement

Service

A general contract for providing any kind of service to a client. Covers the scope of work, payment, liability, and what happens if things go wrong. The foundation for any service-based business.

Consulting Agreement

Service

For professionals hired to provide expert advice or specialized skills. Covers the engagement scope, fees, confidentiality, and IP ownership. Differs from a freelance agreement in that it focuses on advice rather than deliverables.

Invoice / Payment Agreement

Service

A simple document that spells out payment terms — when payment is due, how late fees work, and what happens if the client does not pay. Combines the function of an invoice with the enforceability of a contract.

SaaS Subscription Agreement

Tech/SaaS

The master contract governing a software-as-a-service product. Defines what subscribers can do with the software, uptime obligations, data handling, and what happens when the subscription ends.

Software Development Agreement

Tech/SaaS

For hiring a developer or agency to build custom software. The most important clause is IP ownership — who owns the code when the project is done? This document answers that question and prevents expensive disputes.

Construction Contract

Construction

For hiring a contractor to build or renovate a property. Covers the scope of work, materials, payment schedule, change order process, and what happens when work is defective. The change order clause is where most disputes start.

Subcontractor Agreement

Construction

When a general contractor hires a specialist — a plumber, electrician, or roofer — for part of a larger project. Defines the scope, timeline, payment, and who is responsible for what part of the work.

Personal Loan Agreement

Last Will and Testament

Specifies how your assets should be distributed when you die and who will care for your minor children. A simple will can prevent enormous family conflict and legal costs. Most states require two witnesses and a notary for it to be valid.

Durable Power of Attorney

End-of-Life

Authorizes someone to handle your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. It remains in effect even if you lose mental capacity — unlike a regular power of attorney, which terminates when you become incapacitated.

Names someone to make medical decisions for you when you cannot make them yourself. Works alongside an advance directive or living will to ensure your medical wishes are honored even if you are unconscious.

Living Will / Advance Directive

CA DNR Order / POLST

End-of-Life

A California-specific physician order form that must be signed by a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. This is a medical order, not a legal template — we do not carry it, but we can point you to the right place.

Cease and Desist Letter

Business

This letter formally demands that another person or business immediately stop harmful, infringing, or unlawful conduct such as copyright or trademark infringement, defamation, harassment, breach of contract, or improper debt collection.

It also tells the recipient to preserve evidence and reserves all of your rights while remaining firm and professional in tone.

Affiliate Marketing Agreement

Beneficiary Designation Form

End-of-Life

Formally names who receives a specific asset — a life insurance policy, retirement account, or bank account — when you die. Beneficiary designations override your will, so keeping them current after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the death of a beneficiary is critical.

Board Member Advisor Agreement

Establishes the terms of service for a board member or advisor, including compensation (often equity), confidentiality obligations, time commitment, and what happens when they leave. Protects the company from advisors who claim ongoing rights after the relationship ends.

Business Sale Agreement

California-specific form that combines a healthcare power of attorney with a living will.

Must comply with California Probate Code Section 4700.

CA Durable Power Of Attorney Financial

California

California-specific version of the durable power of attorney for finances. Authorizes an agent to manage your property, bank accounts, investments, and business affairs if you become incapacitated. California has specific form requirements under the Probate Code that this template follows.

CA General Contractor Agreement

California

California-specific construction contract that incorporates state-required disclosures, the three-day right to cancel, and California's contractor licensing requirements. California has some of the strictest construction laws in the country — using a generic contractor agreement here can create serious legal exposure.

CA Last Will And Testament

A California-compliant will that distributes your estate, names a guardian for minor children, and appoints an executor. California's specific execution requirements — two adult witnesses who are not beneficiaries — must be followed exactly for the document to be valid.

CA Residential Lease Agreement

California

California residential lease that incorporates the state's extensive tenant-protection disclosures, habitability requirements, security deposit rules, and just-cause eviction provisions where applicable. California landlord-tenant law is among the most protective in the country for tenants.

CA Revocable Living Trust

California

A California revocable living trust that holds and distributes your assets without going through probate. California's probate process is expensive and slow, making a living trust the preferred estate planning vehicle for most California residents with more than minimal assets.

CA Revocation Of Ahcd

California

The California form to formally revoke a previously signed Advance Health Care Directive. Using this form — and delivering it to your healthcare agent and any providers who have a copy — ensures the prior directive cannot be acted on.

Caregiver Agreement

Co-Parenting Agreement

Family Law

A detailed parenting plan covering physical and legal custody, holiday schedules, decision-making authority for education and healthcare, communication expectations, and dispute resolution. While a court order controls in contested cases, this agreement governs day-to-day co-parenting between cooperating parents.

Service contract between a life coach and a client. Covers the coaching methodology, session frequency, fees, confidentiality, the non-therapeutic nature of coaching (not a substitute for mental health treatment), and how results are measured. Important for liability protection.

Used by musicians, photographers, writers, and software companies to monetize their creative work.

Data Processing Agreement

Tech/SaaS

Required under GDPR and increasingly under state privacy laws when one company processes personal data on behalf of another.

Mandatory for any EU-facing business that uses third-party data vendors.

Demand Letter General

Personal

A formal written demand for payment, performance, or correction of a legal wrong. Sent before filing a lawsuit to give the recipient a chance to resolve the dispute without court involvement. A well-drafted demand letter establishes your legal position and creates a paper trail.

Film Video Production Agreement

Creative

Covers the production of a film, video, or commercial content. Defines the scope of production, deliverables, payment schedule, IP ownership, talent releases, distribution rights, and credit obligations. Production agreements are complex — a lawyer should review any high-budget project.

Founders Agreement

The foundational document for a startup, defining equity splits among founders, vesting schedules, roles and responsibilities, IP assignment to the company, and what happens when a founder leaves. Signing this early prevents the most common and most expensive startup disputes.

The binding vs. non-binding nature of specific provisions must be explicitly stated.

Model Release Agreement

Real Estate

Authorizes a photographer, filmmaker, or publisher to use images or footage of the model for commercial or editorial purposes. Must specify the permitted uses, territory, duration, and compensation. Without a signed release, using someone's likeness commercially is a legal risk.

Service

A household employment contract for a nanny or in-home childcare provider. Covers hours, duties, compensation, overtime, PTO, sick leave, taxes, confidentiality, and termination. Household employers have specific payroll tax obligations — this agreement helps document the employment relationship.

Real Estate

The binding contract between a buyer and seller for the sale of real property.

Authorizes the use of a performer's, actor's, or subject's appearance, voice, and likeness in film, video, or other media. Must specify the project, permitted uses, territory, duration, and compensation. Without a signed release, using someone's performance commercially creates significant legal exposure.

It clearly limits what your agent can do, because only a licensed attorney or accredited representative can legally represent you before USCIS or in immigration court. You can end the appointment at any time with a written revocation, and the document includes a full notarization block.

Affidavit of Bona Fide Marriage

Immigration & Visa

This sworn statement lets both spouses attest under oath that their marriage is genuine and was entered in good faith, which is commonly submitted with immigration petitions. It walks you through telling the story of your relationship, your shared home and finances, your residence history, your children if any, and the supporting documents you are attaching. Both spouses sign under penalty of perjury before a notary, so every statement must be completely accurate.

Temporary Protected Status Support Letter

Immigration & Visa

This letter lets an employer, community organization, religious institution, or individual vouch for someone applying for Temporary Protected Status. It guides the writer through attesting to the applicant’s presence in the United States, good moral character, community ties, and need for protection, all based on personal knowledge. The writer signs under penalty of perjury, and the letter makes clear that it is a supporting document only and that USCIS alone decides TPS eligibility.
