Contract Lawyer or Solicitor

If you are looking for a contracts solicitor to draft an agreement that reflects the way you do business while providing proper legal protection, then Azrights is well placed to assist you. A written agreement is not necessary for a legally binding contract to come into being and it is possible for the unwary to inadvertently bind themselves contractually.

An experienced lawyer can help you to avoid this mistake. Under the law once there is clarity about the parties involved in the proposed contract, what the product or project involves doing, and the price, a contract will be deemed to have been formed.

Sometimes parties may want to include additional matters after the contract has been concluded. It is therefore important to record what is agreed in writing, to ensure that any additional terms agreed later form part of your agreement. A contracts lawyer is useful to ensure the contract variation is effective, reflects your needs and can be negotiated with the other party with minimal disruption.

Depending on the subject matter of your contract there will also be legal regulations impacting on the terms you agree, such as the Unfair Contract Terms Act and various implied terms. A solicitor specialising in contracts will be best placed to advise you in relation to implied terms.

Many precedent contracts currently available are drafted in incomprehensible ‘legalese’. This can be off-putting to your customers. We aim to keep matters simple, and draft clear, comprehensible agreements in plain English.
