We handle all aspects of contract related issues from reviewing and drafting all the way to litigation.

Contract Drafting and Negotiation Services

We offer assistance with drafting new contracts and negotiating contracts for terms in your favor. A few of the contract services we offer include:

Drafting and negotiating contracts between your company and employees, customers, vendors, partners, or anyone else with whom you do business.
Drafting a standard contract to use in situations that arise frequently.
Advising of “pitfall” lists containing what terms to be aware of or to include in your future contracts.

When drafting contracts for your business, it is important to ensure that your rights are protected, the conditions have your company’s best interests in mind, and that they are enforceable. To ensure a contract is legally enforceable, the following can be done:

Structure the contract in a clear and concise manner to make it easy for all potential readers to understand.
Carefully consider how to avoid or overcome any potential interpretive issues that might arise.
Understand and apply the rules and precedents of contract law that may dictate how subsequent readers will interpret the terms.

A poorly written contract can subject you or your business to unexpected costs, burdens, unnecessary disputes, and liability exposure. We will make sure your contract is drafted or negotiated to serve your needs, so you never have to worry about unforeseen consequences.

Contract Drafting and Review

To have peace of mind on a drafted contract or before signing one, have a contract lawyer review it for fairness and flag any unfavorable conditions. An attorney can also identify vague or confusing language that can later be exploited as loopholes. They will ensure the contract can be accurately understood, conforms with applicable laws, and will achieve what you want it to.

Mount Juliet Contract Negotiations

A fundamental aspect of contracting is the negotiation process. A strategically negotiated contract can provide legal and financial protection while also reducing the risk of wasteful litigation. You may require negotiations on an employment contract, one for a real estate transaction, for a business acquisition or merger, between a business and a consumer, etc. Whatever the case, an attorney will often be able to negotiate better terms that are based on your individual goals. For example, clear financial terms, terms that specify each party’s risks and obligations, minimize your risk, and how disputes will be handled if they arise. The parties will typically go back and forth with proposed revisions for weeks or months until they reach a mutually favorable contract to sign. Once a contract has been discussed between the involved parties, negotiated, and signed, it is an enforceable contract.

If you or your business have found yourself in the middle of a contract dispute, please give us a call immediately. The contract terms themselves need to be reviewed to determine what action needs to be taken on your behalf. Sometimes a simple letter is enough and in others maybe a more aggressive approach is needed if you have tried to resolve this dispute with the at-fault party prior to contacting our office. Usually, contract issues are unique and contain a choice of law issues on which state law applies.
