Protecting Your Business Interests With Effective Contract Law

Last updated on April 1, 2025

A well-drafted contract is the foundation of any successful business agreement. At Schwartz Law Firm, we can help you avoid costly disputes by ensuring your contracts are clear, concise and legally sound.

Since 1983, we have provided business law counsel to business owners, entrepreneurs, immigrant business owners, and minority business owners in Oakdale and the surrounding areas. We are your partners in success, ready to draft clear contracts and defend your rights in contract disputes.

Contract Formation: Building A Solid Foundation

When it comes to the drafting of contracts, we believe in keeping things simple and efficient. We focus on clear language and comprehensive terms. It is against our ethos to over-complicate things through excessive verbiage or clauses, even though it would increase the price of our fee. Through simple yet comprehensive contracts, we can uphold your rights and prevent disputes before they arrive. This approach saves you time, money and potential headaches.

How Can I Protect Myself When Entering Into A Contract?

When entering into contracts with vendors or partners, individuals and businesses can protect themselves by ensuring contracts are clear, comprehensive and legally sound. This includes defining:

  • Terms
  • Responsibilities
  • Deliverables
  • Timelines
  • Payment conditions

Including clauses for dispute resolution, confidentiality and termination can also safeguard interests. It is also wise to conduct due diligence on the other party and consult a legal professional to review the contract before signing.

What Remedies Are Available If Another Party Breaches Our Contract?

If another party breaches your contract, several remedies are available. These may include seeking damages to compensate for losses, requiring specific performance to enforce the contract terms or terminating the contract. Mediation or arbitration can also resolve disputes outside of court. Legal counsel can guide you in determining the best course of action based on the breach’s specifics and the contract’s terms.

Efficient Litigators In Contract Disputes

Despite your best efforts, contract disputes can still arise. If you find yourself in a breach of contract situation, you need a contract dispute lawyer who can effectively represent your interests. While we always strive to prevent legal battles, we are also skilled business litigators. If a contract dispute arises, we are prepared to fight for your rights. We take on each case with a focus on achieving your goals cost- and time-effectively. We understand the issues at stake and the amount of money involved, and we don’t let emotions or personal relationships get in the way of achieving a successful resolution. Our team will analyze the situation, assess the risks and develop a strategic plan to protect your business.
