Contract disputes and how a Chappaqua New York business contract lawyer can help.

 

When contracts are drawn up between business entities, or individuals, legal disputes may occur necessitating the services of a business law attorney in Chappaqua. A contract is an oral, written, or digitized agreement between two or more parties outlining terms for parties to make a legal “exchange of something” – a consideration.

New York Courts allow freedom to form and negotiate most contracts without government intervention, but it is a wise practice to utilize the services of the Bobb Law Firm to review disputed contracts, and address litigation arising out of an alleged contract breach. The intent of parties to a contract must be spelled out to avoid confusion about what is expected of the parties in order to satisfy the contract. Experienced Chappaqua NY business lawyers can work with disputing parties, or their legal representation to clear up arguments over legal contracts that can be oral, or written instruments. Written contracts protect and outline legal action in the event there is a breach of duty caused by extenuating circumstances.
