Contracts – Drafting & Negotiation

Almost everyone encounters contracts in their lives—whether involving purchases, sales, leases, or employment. While every contract is different, they all share certain key elements. At its core, a contract is a legally binding agreement. It requires that one party makes an offer or promise, the other party accepts that offer, and there is an exchange of “consideration,” meaning that both parties provide something of value.

​

Because all parties are legally bound by the terms once a contract is signed, it’s essential to negotiate carefully and secure the most favorable terms possible. A poorly structured agreement can lead to long-term consequences. That’s why all parties should consult an attorney to assist with contract negotiations and advocate for their best interests.
