Contract Law

Contracts are one of the most basic legal matters faced by every business. Structured and drafted properly, they can form the basis of efficient and reliable relationships with customers and suppliers. Contracts are not as straightforward as they seem, however, and poorly drafted contracts are a common source of litigation.

Contracts may be formed through formal negotiation and documentation but they also may be formed unintentionally by the parties’ actions and even through e-mail. Terms binding the parties may be further supplied or modified through the course of dealing between the parties and general usage within the parties’ industry.  All of these factor into the creation and interpretation of the contract.
