Matters James Handles

Every matter depends on its facts and the law of the state where it arises. The following are examples of issues the firm may handle:

  • Contract review before signing
  • Drafting straightforward agreements
  • Identifying unclear or one-sided provisions
  • Breach-of-contract questions
  • Demand and response letters
  • Negotiation and litigation support

Review Before You Commit

A careful review can identify payment terms, deadlines, renewal provisions, termination rights, warranties, remedies and other language that may matter later. James explains those provisions in practical terms.

Drafting Around the Actual Deal

A useful agreement reflects what the parties are truly trying to accomplish. James works from the business or personal arrangement, then develops language that records the important responsibilities and expectations.

Responding When a Contract Breaks Down

When performance, payment or interpretation becomes disputed, the first step is often to examine the written agreement, communications and history of performance. Options can include negotiation, a formal demand or litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Contracts

Why have an attorney review a contract?

A review can reveal obligations, risk allocation and exit terms that may not be obvious from a quick read. It can also identify points to clarify or negotiate before the agreement becomes binding.

Can an oral agreement be enforceable?

Some oral agreements may be enforceable, while other types of transactions must satisfy writing requirements. The answer depends on the subject, terms, evidence and applicable law.

What documents help with a contract dispute?

Bring the signed agreement and amendments, proposals, invoices, payment records, relevant messages, notices and a chronology of what each side did.
