Hot Springs Contracts Attorney
Arkansas lawyers draft and review business agreements
Every business needs to be able to rely on the contractual agreements it enters for its transactions. Many times, companies use boilerplate documents that appear to be sufficient for the purposes at hand. However, without legal review, there is no way to be sure that these agreements truly serve your interests or are enforceable in case of a breach. You can count on a Hot Springs contracts attorney at Schnipper, Briton & Stobaugh to create, review and negotiate legally sound contracts that meet your unique business needs.
Drafting and negotiating contracts
We draft and negotiate contracts that will stand up to possible challenges. We do this by ensuring that the contract contains the essential clauses for the particular type of agreement and avoids common pitfalls, such as being ambiguous or too broad in scope. By contrast, a boilerplate contract may not adequately address the specific terms you require and could leave you legally exposed.
Contract review services our law firm provides
If you have been handed a business contract prepared by another party, it is in your best interests to have your attorney look at it before you sign. We will review it to identify any potential risks to your business and to ensure it is not one-sided in its terms. We will also make sure that you clearly understand your rights and obligations under the contract as written and, if there are areas you disagree with, will seek to negotiate terms more favorable to you.
Types of business contracts our Hot Springs attorneys handle
Once we learn about your company, we can discuss with you the contracts necessary to protect your business interests. We are experienced in creating and reviewing a full range of contractual agreements, including the following:
- Partnership contracts
- Sales and lease agreements
- Supplier agreements
- Service contracts
- Subcontract agreements
- Employment contracts
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Non-compete agreements
If you are just forming a business or are acquiring a business, our contracts attorney can guide you from the beginning of your new endeavor.
Contract dispute litigation
Breach of contract disputes are the most common types of contractual litigation. Examples of breaches include not delivering goods or services on time, delivering inferior or noncompliant goods or services or not paying amounts due. Remedies in such cases may include damages, specific performance (requiring) the breaching party to fulfill its agreed-to obligations) and rescission (cancellation of the contract). Sometimes resolutions can be achieved before a dispute ends up in court. Our attorneys will counsel you about steps to take based on your particular situation.
Updating and amending an Arkansas contract
When there are changes to your business and business relationships over time, you may need to modify an existing contract. This could be the case if you have a new business partner or are changing your products or services, for example. We can update the existing contract terms and present the revision to the other party for review, also handling negotiation as may be necessary.
