Contract Preparation, Review, Analysis, and Contract Management SystemsThe key to effective contract preparation is to insure that the language is so abundantly clear that it cannot be misinterpreted by any reasonable person. While this sounds like a goal anyone can achieve, it requires enormous practice and skill. An oddly placed sentence fragment can totally change the clear meaning of a contract. More importantly, that oddly placed sentence fragment will not be detected by most lay contract readers. Our years of contract drafting experience, and years of having those contracts tested in courts nationwide, enables us to use them as templates for your specific agreement. If you can describe your bargain, we can support it with a sound and enforceable contract that will serve you well if any disputes should arise.
Contrary to what many people believe, a business contract is not some document that parties sign and then should be put away somewhere. It is the foundation on which the proper completion of a transaction rests. If it is not right when a dispute arises, the benefit of the bargain can be lost. Don’t let that happen to you. We will protect your bargain, your rights, and your investment. Call us at 720-389-5374 for a consultation.
Business runs on transactions recorded in contracts, both written and oral. Because of our depth of knowledge with respect to general business, business law, and construction, we can analyze a breach of contract claim very quickly. We are also experienced dispute resolution practitioners. Whether your matter requires alternate dispute resolution (ADR) or litigation, we will first analyze your claim and seek a negotiated result. Only then will we suggest a more formal dispute resolution method (mediation, arbitration, or litigation). In the process we can advise with respect to the advantages and disadvantages of each, to allow you to make an informed and cost-effective decision.
In those cases where the value of your claim is not sufficient to proceed with any dispute resolution procedure, or the likelihood of success for your position is not great, we will advise you concerning the economics of your claim before you make any significant investment in a high risk or losing venture.
