Contracts

contracts legal skills for United States

Contract law in the United States is overwhelmingly state common law — the Uniform Commercial Code governs the sale of goods across virtually every state, while service and mixed agreements fall under each state's distinct body of case law, making choice-of-law clauses and forum selection provisions critical drafting decisions on almost every deal. The contracts legal skills for the United States in the ThomasMore catalog are built around that dual-track reality, covering UCC Article 2 compliance, representations and warranties, indemnification carve-outs, limitation-of-liability caps, and material-adverse-change provisions across commercial, technology, and services agreements.

Each skill is agent-ready, running over MCP or available as a direct download, so a practitioner can redline a master services agreement, stress-test an earn-out clause, or generate a force majeure analysis without rebuilding the logic from scratch each time. The collection reflects the full contracting lifecycle — term sheets and letters of intent through to breach-and-cure notices and dispute escalation clauses — and spans both seller-side and buyer-side perspectives. Authors maintain these skills as circuit splits develop and state courts refine doctrines like implied covenant of good faith and unconscionability.
