Business Contract Drafting and Enforcement
Philadelphia Business Law Attorney
At the law office of Elliot Mark Olen, our first concern is protecting our clients and their business interests. Most often this occurs through the careful drafting and review of business contracts, as well as the enforcement of contracts through business litigation or arbitration.
How a contract is drafted determines how effectively it can be enforced. Careful review of business goals in the earliest stages of the business relationship and thorough, accurate preparation of the contract prior to signing can prevent business litigation at a later date - or set the stage for you to win your case in court.
Before you draft or sign a contract, contact the law office of Elliot Mark Olen.
Business Contracts
The biggest mistake many business owners make is to take a competitor's contract or someone else's contract and use it for their own purposes without having a lawyer review it. That contract may not meet your business goals and may be poorly drafted, exposing you to unwanted liability and leaving you without redress should a breach of contract occur.
When you come to our office, Mr. Olen will review your business goals and any proposed contract in light of legal requirements, liability issues, jurisdictional questions and enforcement potential.
We advise clients on these and other types of business contracts:
The Importance of Contractual Jurisdiction
Many business people don't realize how important jurisdiction is in a business contract. The contract must be litigated in the jurisdiction specified under the terms of the contract. While the law in the state in which you operate may provide certain protections in contractual disputes, the law in the state in which your business dispute will be heard - as stated in your contract - may be quite different.
You may be forced into arbitration to resolve a breach of contract before you can litigate for damages.
Protecting Our Clients - Avoiding the Pitfalls of Arbitration
Arbitration can be expensive, since you have to pay both an attorney and a licensed arbitrator. Furthermore, there is no guarantee your issue will be resolved to your satisfaction. Mr. Olen is available to serve as your company's ongoing business contract advisor to identify potential jurisdictional issues that may compromise your interests.
While arbitration cannot always be avoided, Mr. Olen prepares cases and drafts contracts with litigation in mind, ensuring you have leverage in a court of law should a dispute arise that cannot be resolved through compromise.
