Contract Attorneys | Coeur d’Alene
As a busy business executive, you want to reserve your time for helping the business grow, managing employees, and general day-to-day operations. The last thing you want to worry about or spend time on is the contracts you enter into with vendors, customers, employees, or partners.
Contracts are hugely important in all business operations. You must be sure they have the correct language and information included so that all parties understand their responsibilities and obligations. One wrong word or comma can lead to a breach of the contract. Disputes can also arise between parties to a business agreement.
Engage a Smith + Malek Coeur d’Alene contract law attorney. They can manage the fine print and find holes in agreements to protect your business interests. A seasoned attorney can also help navigate complex contract disputes and advocate on your behalf.
What Services Can a Coeur d’Alene Business Contract Lawyer Provide?
Contracts are a key component of every business. From startup to exit, a Coeur d’Alene business contract attorney can provide a range of contract services to help your company succeed.
Contract Reviewing, Drafting, and Negotiating
Contracts can be long, complex, and full of legal jargon. Every word, phrase, and punctuation can impact the contract’s interpretation.
It is essential that contracts with vendors, employees, partners, and customers are carefully written and thoroughly reviewed before signing them. Poorly drafted contracts lead to contract disputes and misunderstandings.
A Coeur d’Alene business contract attorney can assist you with:
- Reviewing and revising contracts. When you enter an agreement with another party, they often send over their contract for you to sign. An attorney can review the existing language, ensure it is favorable to your business interests, and suggest changing the language if appropriate.
- Drafting contracts. If you are initiating a contract with an employee, vendor, or client, a lawyer can draft the terms of the agreement, keeping your business needs in mind.
- Negotiating contracts. Lawyers from both sides engage in conversations to negotiate the specific terms and conditions of an agreement, including price, payment terms, warranties, indemnification, liabilities, non-compete agreements, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Your contract attorney can advocate for the terms most favorable to your business needs.
A Smith + Malek lawyer will develop a keen understanding of your business goals and ensure any contracts you enter align with those goals.
In addition to reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts, our attorneys can help you strategize and manage risk.
Contract Dispute Resolution
Parties that sign contracts typically intend to fulfill their obligations under the agreement. Despite those good intentions, contract disputes can arise. A breach of contract occurs when a party violates the terms of the contract and negatively impacts the other party.
In some cases, a party may feel wronged, have an alternate interpretation of the expectations set out in the agreement, or may fail to uphold their end of the bargain.
A contract conflict can negatively impact many areas of business. It is important to have an experienced attorney on your side. A Coeur d’Alene breach of contract attorney at Smith + Malek will help you navigate the legal complexities of a contract dispute.
They can help resolve disputes out of court using alternate dispute methods like mediation or arbitration. And if the matter cannot be resolved out of court, our attorneys will zealously advocate for your interests in litigation.
Not only do our contract attorneys have in-depth knowledge of contract law, but they are well-versed in the inner workings of Idaho’s court systems. That knowledge helps our team get you favorable results in court.
