Business Contracts & Corporate Counsel in San Diego
Your company agreements, drafted by counsel with litigation experience and foresight when poorly drafted documents fail.
Our Approach
Contracts Drafted With a Litigator's Eye
Every business runs on agreements: customer contracts, vendor terms, service agreements, employment arrangements, leases. When those agreements are clear, business moves. When they are vague, every disagreement becomes a negotiation and every negotiation carries risk.
Chris Villasenor drafts and reviews contracts with a litigator’s eye. After decades of litigating contract disputes, he knows precisely which provisions get fought over, which ambiguities get exploited, and what a judge or arbitrator will do with the language on the page. That knowledge goes into every agreement the firm prepares.
