Contract
At the heart of any business relationship lies an agreement between two or more parties. A properly implemented agreement can help avoid liability and costly litigation. A properly implemented agreement can enhance the way in which parties collaborate to their mutual benefit. It may be helpful as well, for an attorney to initially review certain agreements in-order-to raise concerns, identify risks, expose gaps in understanding and highlight cautions that might otherwise lead to unwanted results. There are multiple agreements and legal documents that may warrant careful drafting and/or review.
