Contract
formation presents a unique opportunity to seize a benefit and cement
business relationships. Properly done, the contract process insures
the smooth functioning of the transactions and relationships covered
by the agreement.
There
is, however, a saying that "the devil is in the details".
Nowhere is this age-old principle truer than in the area of contracts.
Proper attention to the contract negotiation and drafting process
in both individual and business ventures yields benefits many times
over. That attention pays dividends in the form of smooth execution
of the object of the contract, protection from the consequences
of ambiguity and reduced litigation time and expense. All too often
we see the dire consequences visited upon a client whose contract
needs have been sacrificed by a law firm that gave them whatever
pre-drafted form is in their computer. In doing so the specific
needs of the client and the transaction go unmet. We pride ourselves
in listening to the clients' needs and the objectives of the contract,
and incorporating them in the final product. The result is a contract
suited to the task at hand and in the best interests of the client. |
