Contract Attorney

Before signing a document that could shape your business's future, take a moment to consider its significance. Contracts are often the cornerstone of business success, outlining commitments that govern operations. At Montiel Hodge, our dedicated attorneys are here to help you navigate the complexities of contract law, ensuring your interests are protected.

Essential Elements of a Contract

While many agreements are verbal, significant contracts should always be in writing, clearly expressing all parties' intentions. Unfortunately, many businesses draft contracts without professional guidance, leading to complications. Here are common pitfalls to avoid:

• Legal Capacity: Are all parties legally able to enter into the contract?

• Enforceability: Will the contract hold up under current laws?

• Rights of Third Parties: Does the contract affect others’ rights?

• Specific Requirements: Are there essential legal conditions for validity?

• Consequences of Breach: What happens if one party fails to comply?

• Invalid Clauses: What if part of the contract is deemed invalid?

These issues are often addressed in formal agreements, but do you fully understand their implications? Our contract attorneys frequently assist clients embroiled in disputes over self-drafted contracts. Avoid costly misunderstandings by securing professional guidance from the start.
