Contracts and Negotiations
Contracts are agreements, either written or oral, between two or more parties who wish to transact business. In the course of conducting business, most contracts will be on a simple or routine basis and legal advice may not be needed.
However, there are non-routine contracts which should be agreed to only with the advice of your attorney. These will usually be contracts for a lease or purchase of a building, the purchase of a business or the sale of a business, and other similar transactions. Usually in these cases, the terms of the contract will need to be negotiated so that you do not wind up in a situation in which you will not have the rights and abilities you thought you had.
