The cost of doing business in Contra Costa and Alameda County, California – or anywhere else in the country – is attention to detail.  The details of any contractual agreement between your business and another entity can be advantageous and profitable if carefully crafted with full knowledge of all aspects of the law, or costly if the contracts you negotiate do not fully protect your interests.  As a lawyer in practice for more than three decades, John S. Preston has deep connections to the local business community and an encyclopedic knowledge of the law as it pertains to local businesses.

If mediating a Business dispute, Mr Preston can find solution in Business situations. Whether your business is service-oriented, retail or business-to-business, the contracts you sign with customers, suppliers, financiers or employees must protect your business from future disputes, litigation or other unforeseen event.  Litigation is expensive and incredibly damaging to both your peace of mind, your reputation and your financial outlook.  The easiest way to prevent litigation is to ensure that your contracts are comprehensive and clearly written in the first place.  Attorney review of all contracts, amendments and other formal agreements can solve problems before they actually are problems.  When it comes to contracts, John Preston has seen it all and brings a keen knowledge of the local business scene to every contract review or negotiation.  John Preston brings experience in all the ways contracts affect your business: Formation documents, employee contracts and non-compete or non-disclosure agreements to contracts with suppliers, clients, or municipalities.

And if a lawsuit is brought, John Preston stands ready to advise and assist in that situation as well, helping to clarify contractual language and bring the weight of precedence and experience to bear.  Contractual agreements exist to protect involved parties but can only do so if they are crafted correctly.
