Contract Review & Negotiation

Contracts should provide certainty but too often people sign them without understanding what they are agreeing too. It’s always easier to negotiate an agreement on the front end, before you sign, instead of after things go wrong. That’s why you should always have an attorney review an agreement with you, so you know what you’re agreeing to and what that means for you now and down the road.

If you’ve already signed a contract and now you need help enforcing it, or even getting out of it, an attorney can help you with that, too.

How RAK Law Can Help

Contract Review. Whether it’s a non-compete agreement, a compensation plan, an employment contract, a commission agreement, or any other kind of employment document, an attorney can go over it with you to make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re signing. They can raise any potential red flags and make sure you understand all the legalese while also suggesting areas where you might be able to negotiation more favorable terms. In the end, you should make sure all your questions are answered so you are prepared to make an informed decision about whether you want to sign it and what it means for you going forward.

Enforceability Review. Maybe you’ve signed a contract and now realize it included a provision you didn’t expect. Or maybe circumstances have changed and now you need help getting out of it. An attorney can review the contract to see how enforceable it is, explain any unclear or ambiguous provisions, and, if necessary, suggest strategies for either enforcing or terminating the agreement.

Defend you in a lawsuit. If you’ve recently received a cease & desist letter or your current or former employer is threatening you with legal action, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible to help defend you and protect your interests.
