Contracts in the State of Florida
Before you sign any legal document, it is important to not only know the meaning of the words in the document, but also what may not have been included. You might agree with what you are signing, but still be unaware of loopholes or statutory restrictions that might have been ignored. In order to know that you have a fair and comprehensive contract, you need to rely on the services of a reputable, professional contract lawyer—one who has the experience to recognize all of the items that should be included in any business agreement.
All contracts should contain the following elements:
- An offer
- An acceptance
- Consideration – something of value that passes between the parties
- Precise description of the goods or services involved
- Specific provisions for price and terms of payment
- Intention of legal consequences if either party violates the agreement
Just because a contract satisfies these requirements, however, does not mean that it is an effective, legally binding document. The way the contract is written and the language contained in the document need to clearly answer all questions to the satisfaction of both parties. What if one of the parties is unable to fulfill its obligations? Is arbitration an acceptable alternative to litigation? Will the arbitration be binding? When you have Paul M. Kade on your side, Mr. Kade will personally review your contract documentation. He will then make recommendations as to whether the contract requires modifications or addenda. In the end, with your input, Mr. Kade will produce a contract that will not only suit your particular need, but will also be enforceable in a Florida civil court.
