Contract Law
Attorney Ziprick has drafted, reviewed, revised, and negotiated thousands of contracts during his career, from the most complex contracts that can exceed 100+ pages to relatively simple contracts of only a few pages. Contracts are a critical part of business and life and are the foundation for many legal obligations and responsibilities.
While no contract can take into account every possible circumstance that will ever arise, thoroughly reviewing an agreement before you sign it, especially when the obligations or amounts at stake are significant, is highly recommended.
A Word of Wisdom - often, proactive work on the contract before signing the document can avoid much more costly and disruptive disputes or litigation. Further, depending on whether you are the purchaser or seller of a business, equipment, or commercial real estate, there is a vast difference in what provisions should most concern you.
