What is the Uniform Commercial Code?

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) was developed as a way to regulate commercial dealings and transactions involving:
  • Sale of goods
  • Leasing of goods
  • Use of negotiable instruments
  • Banking transactions
  • Letters of credit
  • Investment securities
  • Secured transactions
The goal of the UCC is to establish uniform business laws across the United States. It was created as a way to combat the increasingly unmanageable legal and contractual requirements involved in business and the varying state laws that made it difficult to do business out-of-state. It is important that you understand the UCC regulations so that you don not violate any when conducting business. Our attorneys stay abreast of the changing UCC rules. We understand how to use these rules to benefit your business transactions and to avoid litigation.

What commercial transactions are not governed by the UCC?

While the UCC covers many commercial transactions, there are certain business contracts that it does not cover, including:
  • Real estate contracts. The laws surrounding buying and selling commercial property are not in the UCC. In California, a real estate purchase is made using a “real property sales contract.” This contract sets up a monthly payment plan, and once the payment is complete, the title is handed over to the new owner. This is considered a civil code, not a commercial code.
  • Service contracts. When you run a business that provides a service to a consumer, you must sign a contract. The laws for these types of contracts are not usually found in the UCC, but can be drafted based on general contract law.
  • Employment contracts. Much of what is included in an employment contract can be found in general contract law. The details of what should or should not be included are not outlined in the UCC.
Whether your commercial law needs fall under the UCC or not, our attorneys have the necessary skills to help your business succeed.

Barak Lurie and his team were outstanding. Quality legal representation isn’t cheap, and I went in knowing that — but the results spoke for themselves. They took over my case and had it settled in roughly three months. Matt and Dayne in particular deserve real credit for how they handled it. If you need a firm that moves decisively, this is the one.

Every step of the way continued to prove that our chose was the best one. Their professionalism, expertise and commitment was shown at every step towards our final resolution. And that final resolution was a really good one. Thank you Lurie and Associates for all you did, your dedication and care you showed. We would recommend them 100%.
