Contracts are the backbone of every company. You likely use contracts to arrange the exchange of goods or services and establish relationships with your business partners, employees, and customers. Entering into a contract can protect your company during several types of business activities.
However, you may run into trouble if you sign an agreement with unfavorable terms. It is important to consult a seasoned lawyer before finalizing anything. A New York contracts lawyer from our firm helps you draft an agreement, review and negotiate the terms of an existing deal, or help you take legal action should a party default on the agreement.
Taking the Lead in Negotiating and Drafting Favorable Contracts
One way in which a New York lawyer could assist businesses is in the creation of new relationships with other entities via contracts. While contracts have a reputation as being a take it or leave it form of document, the fact is that businesses negotiate contracts every day. Having a lawyer on one’s side who understands a company’s needs and where there is room for flexibility can help to bring more favorable final products.
At the same time, a lawyer is able to draft contracts that are both sufficiently detailed and meet all relevant legal requirements. In fact, having the same lawyer negotiate the terms of a contract and author the final draft is an efficient way to ensure that the document is both accurate and legally sound.
Our contract lawyers represent clients in all areas of New York, including all five boroughs of NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island), Long Island (both Nassau and Suffolk county), Westchester county, and upstate NY. If you need our lawyers to draft, review, or negotiate a contract on your behalf, contact us today.
Protect Yourself
One of the biggest mistakes business owners can make is to not have a lawyer prepare a legal contract to protect the business in case a disagreement with a customer, supplier, or service provider arises. Yes, your relationship with the other party might be perfect, but what happens in case of a disagreement? A contract is supposed to protect you “just in case” a disagreement occurs.
