A cornerstone of your business includes the agreements you make with others. These can be with vendors, employees, lenders, or investors. It is important that these agreements properly bind parties to the terms agreed upon so that there are no misunderstandings that lead to future problems, including a breach of the contract. A poorly drafted agreement allows one party to slip through a loophole, slowing the engine of commerce while disputes are sorted.

Contracts must contain consideration. Each party gives up something to get something they value. Without it, the contract is illusory, and the party who is not giving up something is receiving a gift from the party that is. Legal exchanges are often money in purchase or employment agreements in exchange for goods or services. Contracts must name the parties entering them, the date they are executed, and the date they go into effect—usually after due diligence and specific conditions are met. There also should be an expiration date, often with automatic renewals, unless the parties do not plan to renew.
Contracts also include the obligations of both parties and warranties that assure each party that the other has the authority to enter the deal and perform duties. Depending on the type of contract, delivery of goods and payment terms are specified. Confidentiality, dispute resolution, and remedies for breach are all pertinent additions to contracts. A seasoned lawyer in San Antonio could ensure a contract explicitly outlines all necessary terms of the agreement.
Conditions in a contract are events that must occur before the parties are obliged to perform their contracted duties. They are either precedent or subsequent. Precedent conditions absolve one party from performing until the other party meets an obligation, for instance, by securing financing before a real estate sale proceeds.
Subsequent conditions relieve a party whose duty to perform is in progress from going any further because a specified event occurs. Other conditions are implied to happen simultaneously, such as providing employment in exchange for a salary.
Whether your business is a sole proprietorship or a large corporation, you will need contracts of a nature specific to your company. Grabbing them off the internet may seem like a simple solution, but if the terms and conditions do not specifically and legally address your situation, it will not be simple to rectify.
