Nathan’s Answer

I have changed the correct practice area from ethics to contracts.

It seems you desire to update the contract to more fully express your intentions. You can use an addendum, signed by the party to be charged, or simply redraw the contract up and ask that all parties execute the new, updated agreement.

I highly recommend you contact a contract attorney for specific advice related to your matter, especially if the professional services agreement is going to be expanded in a manner that is not yet clear.
