Drafting a Legal Contract 

If you are offering a service, you need to be able to trust that you will get compensated.
When you hire employees, you need to provide clear expectations for them in return for their compensation.
A valid contract drafted by McFarland Ritter Law offers peace of mind that the agreements you make are legally binding and can be held up in a court of law.
A valid contract usually has three elements:
1.Offer and Acceptance: There must be a clear offer made by one party to do something, or not do something, in exchange for something valuable. There must also be a clear acceptance of that offer.
2. Consideration: The consideration element distinguishes the contract from a gift. It ensures the offeror and the offeree both have an opportunity to bargain and receive something of value.
3. Intention: It must be clear that both parties entered the contract with the intention and capacity to create a legal relationship.
These three elements are usually sufficient to create a legally binding contract regardless of whether it was made orally, implied, or in writing, but a contract is most easily enforced when it includes signatures on a well-drafted document.
Our expert contract attorneys will carefully draft your agreement to see that it meets the requirements:
● We will warn you of omissions or overstepping in the agreements to ensure you are offering or accepting what you planned to.
● We will assist in negotiations to ensure that you receive the intended value without giving more than is necessary.
● We will ensure that you understand what your agreement entails so that you are prepared to follow through with the terms and enjoy its benefits.

Contract Review 

Don’t sign on the dotted line without trusted legal counsel! When you are presented with a contract, especially in a new or high-stakes business situation, don't overlook the importance of having it reviewed by a trusted advisor. Contracts can contain hidden risks that may hurt your business:
● Hidden clauses ● Unfavorable terms● Confusing or unclear terms Our experienced attorneys have honed their contract review skills through years of reviewing and drafting contracts. Our approach helps you identify risks, negotiate favorable terms, ensure legal compliance, and understand exactly what you are agreeing to protect your best interest.
