We believe in well drafted contracts
that are clear to everyone involved.
Contracts are present in every aspect of your business, beginning on the most straightforward level with the goods or services your business provides to others as well as the goods and services that others provide to your business. When you break contracts down, they are basically intricate promises that we expect one another to uphold. Aside from doing the right thing and maintaining relationships, the law encourages following through on these promises by creating consequences for those who don’t uphold their end of the deal.
It is essential to work with contract law attorneys to be sure you have a contract that is legally enforceable. In most cases it is helpful to work with a business contract attorney to be sure the contract is specifically tailored to your business, an element that is often missed when using contract templates. It is imperative to work with contract law lawyers to negotiate a contract with appropriate consequences in the event the other party does not uphold their obligations under the contract.
A contract law attorney can also ensure that your obligations under a contract are appropriate. When parties enter a contract, each assumes specific rights and obligations that should be in proportion to the rights and obligations of the other party so that the contract is fair. If a contract does not have an appropriate balance of each party’s promises and each party’s obligations, the contract may be determined to be unenforceable.

Is a verbal contract enforceable?
While a verbal contract is generally enforceable except in certain specific circumstances, in most cases it is best to have a written contract to capture the understanding of all parties and avoid as much ambiguity as possible.
When is there a breach of contract?
When a contract is formed, each party must satisfy their obligations under the contract. The required actions (such as providing a good or service) must be taken and the required compensation must be made. A breach of contract happens when either party doesn’t carry out its obligations under the agreement. With a properly drafted contract, the party who has not breached has a legal document that can be enforced to resolve the issue.
