Service Agreements

Paragon’s attorneys have handled commercial agreements for many leading companies, no matter the scope or industry. Here are a few ways we measure our experience with commercial agreements:

What To Expect From a Service Level Agreement (SLA)

A service level agreement (SLA) is a specific type of commercial contract that defines the level of service a customer can expect from a vendor or service provider. SLAs typically outline performance standards such as uptime, response times, service availability, reporting requirements, and remedies if those standards are not met.

Well-drafted SLAs help manage risk, set clear expectations, and protect both parties by aligning contractual obligations with real-world operations. They are commonly used in technology, SaaS, logistics, outsourcing, and professional services agreements.

A commercial transactions attorney can help tailor an SLA to your business model, ensuring that service commitments are realistic, enforceable, and aligned with related agreements such as master services agreements (MSAs) and statements of work (SOWs).
