Business Contract Law

Every contract holds risks and benefits. Are you equipped to recognise them? When a problem or dispute arises with a business arrangement, the solution is often found in the legal rules that govern commercial transactions. The words used in a contract, for example the word ‘condition’, can have important legal consequences. In negotiation you may agree unwittingly to contractual terms with hidden risks that could wipe out the anticipated profits. In an unguarded comment, you may vouch for what you do not intend or cannot deliver; or you may fail to recognise that one of the fundamental elements of a legal contract is missing.
Every contract holds risks, and hopefully benefits, for the parties. By careful risk analysis of a proposed agreement, you can expose potential legal or commercial pitfalls prior to contract.You can then seek to minimise your risks successfully by bargaining for the appropriate terms.
To avoid or minimise legal risks, or to gain the benefits of a transaction, executives responsible for negotiating or managing the contract must have a practical appreciation of contract law, what it requires and forbids.
