Providing Comprehensive Assistance with Contracts
Contracts can give a company or an individual a competitive edge and secure their place in the market. But when business relationships are first formed, there is often a general feeling of goodwill and trust between the parties eager to begin their new venture, and so the rush to get started and desire to preserve friendly relations can result in important details being overlooked. Details overlooked, especially when contracts are being signed, can be the end of a company or an individual. Poorly drafted contracts may not protect a party’s interests or rights and may be hard to execute.
At The Green Firm, our contract law attorneys in Southern California have prepared and reviewed many contracts. We are firm believers that “less is more”, which is to say that simplicity and ease of understanding should be the goal in contracts rather than attempting to drown the terms in awkward and hard to understand legalese. Using our extensive experience and skill set, we can help you draft an effective contract in a timely and professional manner.
