Contract Attorneys
We help you create, review and understand contracts that actually work for you with clear terms and strong protection.
In a perfect world, a handshake would be sufficient to ensure that all individuals fulfill their promises. However, we do not live in such a world. As such, a written contract or agreement is important, as it acts as a legally binding document that outlines the rights and obligations of each party involved in a transaction. This is important for facilitating the seamless operation of the contractual (or business) relationship.
A properly constructed contract removes any uncertainty about the commitments of each party, clearly defines their legal responsibilities, and protects the interests of all parties concerned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages to having a written contract or agreement?
A written contract or agreement can offer significant advantages in most, if not all, transactions for several reasons. Some of these reasons include serving to prevent misunderstandings or disputes between all parties regarding the intended effects of the agreement, ensuring that all parties clearly understand their obligations, thereby, reducing the likelihood of performance errors, assisting in the allocation and mitigation of certain risks, while providing a framework for resolving potential disputes, establishing a defined duration for the agreement, outlining termination procedures, giving all parties assurance that the terms of the agreement cannot be changed, and being more enforceable in a court of law.
Can I just use a contract form I found online?
Utilizing a generic contract form obtained from an online source may present significant risks for several reasons. Firstly, such templates are often not customized to meet the specific needs of your transaction, potentially omitting critical terms that are pertinent to the agreement. Additionally, the language employed in these generic forms can be vague or confusing, leading to misinterpretations among the parties involved. Furthermore, these templates frequently lack the requisite provisions to comply with your state’s jurisdiction, which may result in the absence of essential provisions that could adversely affect the contract’s enforceability. Lastly, these forms generally offer inadequate legal protections for you and your enterprise, thereby increasing the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes.
Should I have an attorney review a written contract before I sign it?
We cannot stress the importance of having an attorney review a contract you are contemplating entering into before you sign it. Typically, when a party provides you with a written contract or agreement, the terms are crafted to benefit them, not you. This means that the document may not prioritize your best interests. Additionally, there could be clauses that are unclear or language that contains hidden obligations, binding you to commitments you did not intend to make. For these reasons, seeking legal counsel before signing any contract is not just advisable; it is a vital step to protect your rights and interests.
How long does it take for an attorney to prepare a written contract?
The duration required to finalize any specific contract or agreement can vary significantly due to various factors. Typically, the time necessary for the completion of such a document is influenced by the specific requirements of the client, the complexity of the parties involved, the industry to which the contract pertains, and the degree of protection the client seeks. In other words, it may take a couple of days, a couple of weeks, or months.
